Guitar was the first step.
I shall be the first surfer to plink a cheap acoustic guitar across the waves of Kent.

Have never tried surfing
but did once go body-boarding. Getting a feel for the waves is the first step.

Is now a good time to mention
that I can't swim for shit? I'm totally at home in the sea, but only if I can spazzflail about and not actually have to swim.

Funnily enough
I learned how to swim in the sea. Kept walking into the sea when at the beach, and then realised that I could still float if my legs weren't on the sea-bottom. A bit of experimentation later and I figured out how to swim.

I can flail ineffectually, as anyone who went on our team trip to the posh manor with the swimming pool will attest.
However, ask me to do this at more than a literal crawl and I can't...

I can't swim
At all.

How crap is that?

Not that crap.
I can't sing, and this galls me.

I can just visualise the two of you at a beach having this conversation
TD is in the sea and Maladicta on the beach.
