Teach by Example

98

I had 2 coaches in my life.  Both Ben Aipa and Tony Moniz taught me how to surf by example.  To me, that had the most impact because it clearly showed me the mechanics and allowed me to mimic them.  So I always tell my students to do the same and it always works.  Thank you Wes for the shot of my student in class.

We had another great surf session this morning.  Two girls pushing each other to their limits.  I sit on the boat watching them, videoing them, and laughing.  It’s pretty funny.

When I first met these two girls, they had zero knowledge and zero surfing skills.  Total beginners just having fun.  Now they just want to get better and better and it’s a beautiful thing to see them splitting peaks again.

Passing by Bowls on the way in.  Crowded and small.  No thank you.

One of the motors isn’t running at a 100%.  I’ve been trying to troubleshoot it spending hours researching, hours hands on, and hours of dreaming about it.  In the meantime, I’m running on one motor which is good enough for now.  But I will fix it!
