Bikini Blunder

by Jaclyn

So...My family took a trip to Maui, and stayed right outside of Whalers Village. It was absolutely amazing of coarse, but everybody all knows that already. I really wanted to learn how to surf this trip, because I live in gloomy Oregon, and well, surfing on the Oregon Coast would be a tad bit less enjoyable.

I signed up for one of those surfing-for-dummies type classes on the beach, and eagerly awaited my lesson. A group of men came out and explained the basics of surfing followed by whisking us away into the Ocean. After many tries, and fails, I finally got up onto the board, not to brag, but I was up there for like 2 whole seconds...as pathetic as that is. I was gleaming as I ran off into the sand after crashing into a bodysurfer....oops!

As I looked up, I noticed that the whole beach was jealously staring at me. Wow, I thought, "I must look pretty good in this brand new bikini! Wait a sec...." That's right, my bikini bottom was gone. Before I could run to the bathroom, across, the beach, and the sun-tanners, I had a crucial decision to make. Cover the front, or the back? I went for one arm in front, and one in the back. It was humiliating...and I never got my suit back, but hey, at least no tan lines right?

Hi Jaclyn,

Your story is tooo funny - in a mortifying kind of way!! What a bummer you didn't get your suit back - hopefully it wasn't a favourite?

Anyhow, humiliation aside, at least you got up on the surfboard - I haven't taken any surfing lessons myself yet, but I'd like to some day for sure!
