My goal is to become an proficient surfer by participating in at least one surfing event within 3 months. I will attend a surf school twice a week for 2 hours, practice at home for an additional 1 hour per week and gain knowledge on the principles of surfing and coastal safety, within 6 months. In order to track my progress I will be committing to an online journal, which will track my number of waves completed, quality of turns, difficulty of tricks and overall ability. I will also use the journal to set weekly and monthly objectives to ensure regular improvement within 12 months.
