Surfing Lessons

The boys have been enjoying mucking around on the surf board and we decided that they should have a lesson. Both boys didn't want to go but we forced them (Phobia of stuffing up in front of others). A friend had had lessons with the Smiths Beach Surf Lessons and said that the teachers were really great and that they would be standing up by the end of the 2 hour lesson. The boys had an absolute ball and by the end were both standing up. Unfortunately I was at work and Dave had run out of battery on the camera by that stage but here are the early stages.

There were only 8 in the group (Patrick and Nicholas, 2 other kids, and 4 overseas guys from the Superbikes)







Getting ready to go.

Heading out board under the arm.

Nick on his feet and about to face plant in the sand. Pat getting up onto his feet.

Both were very tired and went off to bed early.

So we head off every couple of afternoons now for them to go surfing.

Bought some roof racks yesterday and put them on today. It has been a bit of a problem fitting the surfboard and 3 or 4 of us in the commodore. So they should make it much easier.

Same friend loaned us 2 extra boards and a surf ski today. Dave said to me you realise that he's not just being nice but he thinks that we will fall in love with them and want to buy them. We'll see.
