Morocco Trip: Jacob & Josiah

Jacob was always up for an adventure and I have so many memories of him saying yes to those once in a lifetime opportunities when they came up. During our travels together we were given the opportunity to go surfing in Morocco. I can tell you that Morocco is known for many things, but I don't think surfing is one of them. But, when do you ever get the chance to go surfing off the coast of Africa? I think I was a little bit hesitant at first, but in true Jacob fashion I found myself in a wetsuit headed out into the freezing Atlantic Ocean. 

We spent the next few hours basically getting thrown off our surf boards and tossed about in what I will admit were embarrassingly small waves. By the end I think we were able to see some success and walk away feeling like real Surfers. What is funny to me as I have been looking back at some clips from this day is remembering countless times of both Jacob and I retelling the story to friends through the years. In the retelling of those stories we were both much better skilled and those waves were much larger. 

To me it doesn't matter much though, I will remember us feeling like real surfers tackling the mighty waves off the coast of Africa. I truly feel so blessed to have so many of those "once in a lifetime" memories with Jacob. I can recall countless memories and experiences I have in life because Jacob said, "Come on let's do it, it will be fun." For that, I will be forever grateful to my adventure buddy.
