Malibu

Can you imagine living in Malibu where your backyard leads to the beach?
You needed a key to enter this beach that's a part of a very rich community.

For the day, we owned this beach.

I learned how to paddle board.  Or rather, I jumped into the water with this over-sized surfboard and balanced with a large paddle and made it up while my coworkers were screaming instructions.  That's not me btw.  I could only get on my knees.  But I managed to pass the breaking waves and then paddle my way back into shore very smoothly
