Yesterday's surf lesson was a special one. We had luck on our side and found Freight's bay with perfect, and I mean perfect, little waves. They were maybe 1' or so, perhaps 2' on the larger set waves, but it was only myself and one surf student, Ian.
It was Ian's day to shine. Iam had been out once before with us and that was his first visit to the see with a surfboard beneath his feet. I would have liked to have seen Ian move on and start catching more wvaes on his own. I am not sure exactly what Ian had for breakfast yesterday but he was on. catching his own waves from outta everywhere and always looking to pick another wave. Ian's moves were on too. We were includeing some board walkingand puting in the rigth turns where necessary and really working every waves all the way to the shore. These are the kinda surfing lessons I love to take where your student really wants to get it all done on their own but wants to listen and take in everything. Ian should have been surfing since a child and he would have been a ripper. I guess Ian just has the luck and surfing makes sense to him. Everybody is different and some may take a little longer to find the rhythme but ian managed to go from first waves just standing and riding to the beach to really surfing in just a couple of hours. Its amazing what a little bit of good instruction can do.
