Surf Lessons

Challenges:
There were a lot of challenges faced today especially with the size of the waves and the boy’s abilities to paddle themselves into the waves. Both Colin and Ronin were successful in that they stood up and rode across the face of the waves, however, their ability to paddle themselves into the waves was a bit more difficult for them as they are still learning the art of surfing and how it works, with the waves around them, where to sit, and when to paddle into the wave at the perfect time to avoid the waves crashing on their back or them missing the waves. The waves were a little bit smaller than we hoped and were breaking a bit too fast, this concluded in the boys having a difficult time standing up quick enough or initially getting into the wave. For next time I believe it would be much better if I had them sit further on the shoulder of the wave which makes it much easier for the boys to get into the wave without falling or pearling (where the rails of the board dig in causing the board to pearl)

Identifying my own strengths and developing areas for growth:

I definitely have an area to improve on when it comes to teaching/guiding the boys when they surf for example today I had them try paddle themselves in, and I noticed that it isn’t as easy as I remembered It to be because nobody just goes from one day with assistance to being able to paddle themselves into a wave. For next time I think I will just ease them into the process of paddling themselves in so basically I will give them smaller pushes into the wave, making them paddle at the same time as I push them, this will then help them get a feel for how to paddle into the waves at the right time. My strengths today were identifying where I could improve on for next time.

I hope that we can do this again next week because I see the boys improving every week that I surf with them.
