The Experience
I’ll be honest — I was pretty sure I’d fall right off the board. The idea of “surfing” without waves or wind sounded… well, kind of impossible? But there we were on the shore in Cozumel, squinting at these sleek electric boards while our instructor, Luis, grinned like he knew something we didn’t. He handed me a helmet and said, “Don’t worry, everyone wobbles at first.” I could smell sunscreen and salt in the air. My hands were already sweaty from nerves.
The lesson started on land — just getting used to the weight of the board and how the remote felt in my hand. Luis showed us how to balance (he made it look easy), then we shuffled into the water. It was warm and almost glassy flat. When the motor kicked in under my feet for the first time, it buzzed through my legs — not loud, but enough to make me laugh out loud. I did fall once (okay, twice), but Luis was right there with a thumbs up and some tips in Spanish that I half-understood. He didn’t mind repeating himself.
After maybe twenty minutes of practice, something clicked — suddenly I was gliding over this turquoise patch near shore, wind on my face but no waves at all. It’s weirdly peaceful; you can hear your own breathing and little splashes from fish darting away underneath. There’s this moment where you realize you’re actually doing it — standing up, moving fast but smooth — and yeah, I still think about that feeling sometimes when I’m back home stuck in traffic.
