Why My Wife Will Never Go Surfing Again

When it comes to your partner or companion, it’s important to be able to read each other. Lia and I have a few different check-ins that we say to each other that hold different meanings in our partnership. One of them is “Is this surfing?”

This is the story of the birth of that expression, and a lesson of caution about trying new things.

At least, that’s how I introduce this story. Lia likes to call it “that time I almost got stung to death by a million jellyfish.” But more on that later.

Morro Bay, California

It has been mentioned it before, but I grew up in Morro Bay, CA. It’s a sleepy little tourist town on California’s Central Coast with great sea life, scenic views, delicious food, and an interesting collection of locals. It’s only 4 hours away from San Francisco and makes an amazing weekend trip from the Bay Area, so we visit frequently.

Pretty much everyone from that town takes part in the absurdly Californian hobby of surfing. Lia had never gone surfing before and would tease me about how my life growing up was “The OC,” (which, to someone that grew up on a farm in Kentucky, probably wasn’t an off base assumption) so one trip back home, with our friend T along for the ride, we decided it was time she tried it.

My wife, as outgoing as she is, is absolutely an introvert. We’d spent the past week camping with friends, getting drinks with high school buddies, and constantly running around. She needed a break from people and was  feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. If you’ve ever spent time with an introvert who needs some time alone, you probably know that they tend to be cranky and anxious.

But of course, I didn’t notice, and she didn’t speak up, either. So we’re kinda both at fault, I guess. Again, it depends on who’s telling the story … 

Anyway, we had plans to go surfing.

That Time We Went Surfing

We pulled up to the rental shop (Wavelength’s. Check them out if you’re in town) and Lia was already regretting her decision to keep quiet about her brewing anxiety.

As we headed to the dressing rooms to try on our wetsuits, she was mentally reliving the last time she attempted to stuff her tall, voluptuous Amazonian body into the size Medium wetsuit the kayak rental store employee handed her. It was made for girls no taller than 5’5″ and 125 lbs.  It did not go well. Have you ever tried to squeeze a sausage into a casing? Picture that.

Thankfully, the guy working this counter was a pro and got all three of us fitted perfectly in a minute.

We went surfing in Morro Bay, California. It did not go well.
Wetsuits: Not for the insecure or the faint of heart. In other news, I think this is the blondest my hair has ever looked.

We precariously strapped our surfboards to our car and drove the mile to the beach.

Let’s talk about these boards. They were 8 foot, super heavy foam boards. At first you think “Oh these aren’t so bad to carry,” but then you walk a hundred yards in hot sand with gale force winds whipping at your face and you begin to question what on earth you were thinking.

Our friend T is a little north of 5′ tall, so she was struggling just figuring out how to hold the damn thing. And with every belabored step, Lia’s level of “this is the stupidest shit imaginable” increased.

By the time we found a good spot on the beach, she was already resigned to never walk with a board that big again.

I gave Lia and our friend T a quick lesson on paddling out, grabbing the wave, popping up, and taking a fall. Then, we set off for the water.

For those of you who’ve never surfed, when you paddle out – which is essentially swimming using only your arms while lying on the board –  waves are crashing on you repeatedly. The way you combat this is to “turtle” (where you hold your board down INTO the wave and let it crash over you), or to hit the wave straight on and sort of float over it.

Neither of those options made sense to Lia, because they both result in you getting slapped in the face with a wave and ending up with sea water in your eyes and mouth.

Instead, with each wave, her strategy was to shriek, duck, and turn away from the wave. She may have gotten slightly less salt water in her mouth, but she also ended up sliding back to the shore every 3 seconds.

As you can imagine, this plan did not work. As a result, 45 minutes went by before she was far enough out to catch a wave.  It was like swimming with only your arms on a giant, salty treadmill for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, T was getting better and better. She whizzed past us on all 4’s, shrieking with glee with each attempt to stand up on her board and subsequent splash into the water.

Lia, meanwhile, was NOT enjoying herself. “What is the point of this?” She griped. “I thought surfing was supposed to be relaxing. This is NOT relaxing. This is exhausting. How do people do this stoned?!”

She had a point. How DO people do this stoned?!

I’m actually not particularly good at surfing, myself. I’m not even remotely athletic and both Lia and I are deeply clumsy (our poor children are doomed). I went surfing in Lima, Peru during our year-long honeymoon and fell face first onto a giant pile of rocks. As I lay cleaning my bleeding wounds, a local walked by and informed me that I was doing everything wrong, and suggested that I take a few surfing lessons.

So objectively speaking I probably shouldn’t have been teaching anyone, much less my equally-clumsy, accident-prone wife, how to surf.

Why My Wife Will Never Go Surfing Again

…And then we saw the jellyfish

Once she got far enough out to catch a wave, Lia was exhausted.  Her arms were tired. She was still anxious and overstressed from too much social interaction and not enough alone time. And when she gets frustrated and overwhelmed like this…. well, she’s not a joy to be around.

As I tried to give her tips on catching waves and she attempted over and over again without success, her frustration mounted.

It was like trying to make a sandcastle out of dry, cranky sand. Not only was surfing not coming naturally to her – it is, admittedly, not the easiest sport in the world – but she was falling apart by the minute from the stress of failure mounting on top of everything else

That’s when she saw a single jellyfish floating in the wave in front of her.

The jellyfish waved a single, rubbery tentacle at her. It winked one beady little jellyfish eye in her general direction. It was the tiniest, cutest little jellyfish ever.

Lia was convinced that this jellyfish was going to kill her.

“JELLYFISH!!!!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. “GET OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!”

All of the other surfers in the water nearby immediately perked up. Is there a shark!??! Nope. The locals shook their heads and swam calmly away from the teeny baby jellyfish.

I tried to calm her down. “Honey, it’s just one little jellyfish,” I reassured her.

But I was wrong. There was a very small armada of jellyfish on the wave, gently bobbing in Lia’s general direction, waving their noodley tentacles menacingly.

Lia was having none of it. She thrashed and flailed as fast and as hard as she could towards the shore.

Lia is actually a damn good swimmer. But she had an anchor attached to her ankle: a giant, heavy, bulky foam surfboard.

It was like watching a loony toon gag where a character tries to run but the rug keeps slipping up underneath them.

I helpfully unstrapped her from her board and she took off like a shot, screaming profanities about surfing, me, and jellyfish all the way.

Lia says: Tell me you wouldn’t run screaming if you saw these motherf*ckers in a wave coming directly towards your face. According to Jeremy, THESE jellyfish are dangerous. Jellyfish 101, y’all.

Left in the water with the mini jellyfish armada, I realized that they were barrel jellyfish – a completely harmless jelly. I helpfully informed her of this fact when I returned to shore.

Uncomforted, Lia pointed out that knowing what types of jellyfish are dangerous by sight is some California-ass bullshit. Apparently teaching jellyfish safety isn’t part of the school curriculum in Kentucky. Go figure.

Why Lia Freaked out Over Surfing

After a half hour of “I could have DIED, Jeremy!” she calmed herself down, and we talked.

She explained to me that her high level of frustration with the whole surfing excursion had little to do with surfing, but were being magnified by external factors. She never got a chance to decompress from all of the socialization we’d been doing, so she was feeling overwhelmed and anxious. We were both feeling that constant travel rush to spend all of our time doing fun activities on our trip and had carved out no time to relax and unwind. And she felt a little bit like a Kentucky farm girl when I was with my California buddies, which made her feel even more unsure about trying out something as alien to her as surfing.

Perhaps the biggest contributing factor to her freak-out was that as a fat person she was feeling like maybe she wouldn’t be able to surf. A quick aside: neither I nor Lia use the term “fat” pejoratively, nor do we feel that it is a negative descriptor; rather it is a neutral statement of fact. We’re both comfortable with fatness. I’m not insulting Lia’s body here. Aside over.

Sports, especially sports that are primarily enjoyed by beautiful, tanned model types like surfing, aren’t terribly inclusive of fat people, and she didn’t have a feeling of “I can totally do this!” going into our adventure. She felt frustrated that despite being a decent hiker and a strong swimmer, she was feeling limited by her body.

Add the fact that wetsuits basically magnify every part of your body, and even the most confident, badass fat chicks – which Lia is – can get self-conscious. Side note, can I just point out that she looks AMAZING in her wetsuit in that photo above? Am I allowed to brag on how gorgeous my wife is on our blog?! Is that weird??

But  even though she was feeling anxious, overwhelmed, out of her element, and a little bit insecure about her body’s physical abilities, she didn’t want to let her fears keep her from trying something new, even something as challenging as surfing. So she tried it.

And she found out that she didn’t particularly enjoy it very much.

And she decided that was OK.

We went back out into the water, except now it was just T and I surfing while Lia swam. The jellyfish were all gone at this point. Lia had a great time swimming and finally being able to actually use her legs in the water. She also became really good at helping me decide which waves to surf – I swim without my glasses, and like I said, I’m actually not a very good surfer, so this was SUPER helpful.

What We Learned

I started this story with a promise to explain the origin of our “is this surfing?” check-in.

Whenever one of us is upset while we’re doing something and it doesn’t totally make sense why we’re upset, we ask “Is this surfing?”

What it means is: Is this problem actually the topic we’re discussing, or is a different need of yours being ignored or not fulfilled? There’s a big difference there, and I think it’s one that often gets blurred.

Lia wasn’t really upset over surfing. I mean, she didn’t like it very much. But she was mostly upset over a bunch of OTHER stuff, and it all spilled over into her surfing experience. Add all of that brewing anxiety to a very small army of jellyfish, and you have the perfect recipe for a freakout.

Morro Bay, California is home to the extremely iconic Morro Rock. It's also home to tons of adorable marine critters like otters and harbor seals, and is probably one of the best places to watch the sunset in the world.

Lia and I are both the type to try new things. A lot of travel types are, I think. The idea is to always say yes to a new adventure or a new experience.

But that doesn’t mean you have to enjoy the activity.

Not every first try is going to be a mind-altering, earth-shattering, oh-my-god-you-have-to-go-to-Burning-Man event. And that’s okay.  Sometimes you just want to try it to say you tried it.  Lia may never surf again (or rappel down a waterfall again, or go into a volcanic mud bath again…) and that’s fine.

More importantly, we grew stronger in our partnership and in our ability to identify one another’s needs.

Having this check-in has really helped us as we’ve been faced with more and more of that feeling of stress & being overwhelmed that comes from traveling full-time (the worst is when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, HUNGRY, and – the cherry on top – lost. Ooooh boy). We’ve learned not to take it personally when one of us is cranky or miserable. It just happens, and that’s OK.

Also, we both learned a little bit about jellyfish, which will probably come in handy one day.

On a semi-related note, after the surfing incident Lia decided she was fed up with feeling limited by her lack of athleticism and took up powerlifting. Now she’s fat and also super strong. Take that, salty arm treadmill.

Hey, I'm Jeremy! I'm a California native, which means I grew up surfing and have really strong opinions about burritos and highways. I'm extremely sassy and I love terrible dad jokes. I'm also a high school teacher, which means I get to subject all of my students to my sass and terrible jokes daily. I'm married to Lia and I'm obsessed with her and it's super gross, unless you're us, in which case it's the best.

    I loved reading this post! Hilarious and well written! I absolutely feel the frustration of Lia! My boyfriend is a surfer and we hang out with all the surfers all the time.. Problem is I suck at surfing. I’m stuck in the white wash and all the guys (and too hot) girls are surfing the big green waves

    Side note: I also learned how to surf in Hawaii and felt similarly frustrated with the whole experience. And there wasn’t even an armada of jellies involved either!

    This post is one of my favorite of yours! Hilarious. Also, I feel the same way Lia does about wetsuits—and I’m a diver. It doesn’t matter how skinny or how fat you are, neoprene is just not comfortable or confidence-inducing. Hence why I won’t dive (or surf) in California and prefer being in the Caribbean waters where a suit isn’t necessary!

    And my husband is an introvert who socializes more than I probably should force him, too, so I also understand the need for decompression time.

    Love story-time posts like this! I’ve never tried surfing, and I don’t think I ever will. My husband’s Aussie (myself Canadian) so I think us trying out surfing would look very similar to your experience! (Plus there’s jellies here that can kill you in under a minute and they’re essentially invisible. Nope!)

    But Lia, I totally feel your pain. As a fellow introvert prone to anxiety, I would flip out over seeing jellyfish and have a meltdown from social exhaustion as well. It’s a real thing! It’s a great point to know your partner’s “triggers” that cause them to have the emotional control of a toddler.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Great travel/couple story! Surfing is not easy and you do need killer core strength to pull it off. (How do those stoner dudes do it???) My husband and I went to a learn-to-surf camp in Costa Rica one year. We’re from the landlocked prairies so this was definitely something new. Our first lesson was on land. 🙂 The location of this surf camp was great as it had a long low ripple of waves close to shore. We were both able to get up and surf the little waves. I know for sure that if I had started out in the deeper water I would have been quickly frustrated like Lia.

      That sounds awesome! I’m considering trying again in Huanchacho, Peru. There’s a surf school here with the guarentee that if you don’t stand up during your lesson, the lesson is free. It sounds like a challenge that I win either way! We’ll see if I dare to try again…
