A Stoked Teenager

106

Since the tide is so low, you can clearly see the reef.  Paddling out is tricky and if you go the wrong way, you will get stuck and will have to walk.  So proper instructions is important.  Rob and Marley inching their way out.

Teaching teenagers how to surf is my favorite.  You can see their curiosity, their emotions, and their joy.  Even though I met Marley for the very first time, I could tell by this smile that she was having a great time.  The surfers golden smile!

We started off in the inside and after 3 rides, she surfed perfectly.  Then it was time to take off the reef boots and go outside to ride the big ones.

I only had to explain things once to Marley.  Looking forward, bending her knees, and smiling not only looks great, but feels great.  This is great great!

If this girl has Instagram, this would be a cool profile photo.  Her first surf in paradise couldn’t have been any prettier.
