Teaching a student to surf can be very rewarding.Last week Friday and Saturday i took the lovley Tatiana from the Ukrane for a couple of lessons ,she was staying at the Edgewater hotel but the East Coast waves were too intense to learn in,so who do you call Dread or Dead of course.I went over to the East coast picked her up and found a more suitable spot for her to learn .Tatiana was a great student and by surf lesson 2 she was catching her own waves ,she actualy listened to everything i said and can now return to New York as a real surfer in small waves of course.She can paddle out sit on the board select her own wave turn the board and catch the wave ,stand up and surf the thing all in 2 lessons .We were both stoked.Russell
