Without much further ado, here two YouTube videos that illustrates the progress you can make in just a few weeks of surfing. First a video shot at the end of February (uploaded on the 27th):

Then this latest video, from mid-April (uploaded on the 13th):

Notice the differences:

- the wetsuit is different (it was warmer in February, strangely, so I had my trusted old 3/2 vs. the new fancy 4/3 in April)
- the water is darker
- different videographer (the videographer of the first one is in the water to my left on the last wave)
- and of course *I don’t look like a total dork anymore!!! ![Cool](plugins/editors/jce/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif "Cool")*
