Yesterday was Faith's very first day of surf camp! This was something she has been looking forward to for weeks!
The first steps were completed on the beach! Practicing paddling out, transitioning from the lying down to the knees, and finally standing up!
Next step, head out into the big, blue Pacific Ocean!!
For her first time ever attempting surfing, Faith surprised me at how well she did! She regularly was able to get onto her knees, and a few times was able to start standing up on the board! Maybe those ballet classes are helping with her balance?!
Another action shot! Faith learned quickly that once you ride a wave to quickly get back on the board and paddle back out towards an instructor! There were a number of instructors in the water with the kids, helping them to get started as a wave came. Most importantly, Faith had a great time and can hardly wait to go back Thursday!
As Faith rode the waves, the other kids and I enjoyed playing in the sand and the water! Olivia at first was very leery of the water. Then she would venture down and get close, running away as a wave came yelling "run for your life!"
Shane had a blast swimming! Thankfully he doesn't go out too far yet!
