Surfing is freaking hard! But we set ourselves a goal while here in Baja -- learn to ride a barrel in three days. Watch this episode to see if we find the big waves and pull it off! Help us get to 9 Countries in 9 Months become a Patreon today: https://www.patreon.com/fnavanlife When we first set off down Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, we imagined that we’d be surfing every day. That didn’t end up being the case. Much of the coastline has some massive breaks and gnarly shorelines. However, we’re beginners after all. We needed to find a place to surf that we could handle. We searched all over Los Cabos for a good place to test our mettle until we landed at a spot to rent a board and head to the beach. Needless to say, our first attempts at surfing were a mixture of falling over and waiting to try again. Fortunately, a local surf pro was kind enough to share some wisdom with us about how to catch the perfect wave. Even though we have a long way to go before we can be called surf pros, we’re hooked. Frankie caught three waves that first day. For the next two days, Frankie was turning, looking for that elusive barrel. As much fun as it is to try surfing ourselves, we also enjoyed watching the real pros ride some impressive curls. Someday we’ll be like them. We have nine countries and nine months to level up!
