So my little neighbor buddy asked me to take him surfing again today. And snorkeling as he leaves for a family trip to Cancun soon and he wanted the practice. He was 10 minutes early to my house, 750am and all ready to go!
This time we, well 'he' since he paid for it ($8 for an hour) and the kid is only 14, rented a 10' foamy board, so something much better for him to learn on. And by the end of the hour he had stood up pretty well twice! He wants to keep going and doesn't mind the suffering of learning something new. Surprisingly humble about it for a teenager. More concerned with learning than how he looks.
He wanted me to film him but I told him he needs to stand up reliably before I'll film him. But today I did put together a fun little edit of me surfing on the small summer mush I like so well and then snorkeling with the seals.
He earns the gas money by cleaning all of our gear after each trip and my listening to me. Next time I told him it's also going to cost him a Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ. Hmmm.... might have to take him more than once a week.
The vid!
