12 high noon, cold water, hot sun, #SantaMonicaBeach watching J & instructor in wet suits discover J’s #surfing talent

       at the moment, i-Phone shot by Myra about six hours ago, Santa Monica Beach (California) between 12 high noon and 2pm, cold water, cool breeze, hot sun, watching J and his surf instructor both in their wet suits discover J’s surfing talent.

            Trying to execute a modified one-half warrior pose —

     the sand was very hot

    and you will see my fat (fortunately,

no one will fat-shame me

because i’m not a celebrity)

(didn’t burn my skin even under the cruelest scorching sun (12 high noon for two hours): Thanks, Clinique Mineral Sunscreen broad spectrum SPF 50!

i-phone shot by Myra —  for photos and videos of J rising from paddling to standing on the surf board moving on the waves on his first outing, pls ask Myra
