Small Steps | Surfing in Whangamata New Zealand

I am afraid of deep water. Well water that I can't see the bottom to and that makes a lot of noise! I freeze up. This becomes a problem when one of my dreams is to learn how to surf. When I was in Whangamata New Zealand I had an opportunity to learn to surf. It took me three days but I was able to get over my fear and surf. I even stood up a few times lol.
