I finally made it surfing!  I tried again to get a wetsuit from Namiko Surf Shop, this time in Soph-mom's favorite old haunt in Chi, but still no luck.  I broke down and bought board shorts and a bikini - the waves looked just too tempting.  

And, after a few minutes on a rental surfboard, I was in love!  I got a pro board, and what a difference!  Faster, smoother - even my first time out I had some *really* good runs - though I smacked into the cliff a *lot* trying to stay in the pipe and take pictures at the same time!

I finally wiped out badly enough to call it a day, and went shopping for some basic athletic gear - which turned out to be next to impossible.  Don't women in your time wear athletic shoes?  But then, one of my moms wears combat boots (sorry, "civilian hiking shoes" - Argent Bury is *not* on active black ops duty! *nods*) and the other wears lethal heels....

I did find a parkour shop, though!  Too bad the shirt and sweats I ended up with weren't what the signs said, and the HUD won't display - at least the waves in the past work!

I finished the night chilling in my new room - thanks mom!  Um, walls and a door sometime, maybe?  Oh, and uh, if you could keep the creepy neighbors away, that wouldn't hurt either, k?

Moms, Aunt Gala - could we *please* get surfing waves for Extropia?  I don't know if you have room yet, but when you do, I'd *love* to surf at home...
