after our morning session, i picked up the 3 young girls and did a shortboard surfing lesson. these 3 girls started off longboarding so it was fun giving them a shortboard and just saying “Go!” they had a blast!

when you learn from the basic 1, 2, 3’s on the longboard, shortboarding is pretty easy. these girls got better and better after every wave.

i don’t think these girls will ever longboard again. haha. one’s hook on surfing Kelia’s old surfboard and said she will never give it back to me. haha. but it’s ok!

i love my job and even though i say it to myself every single day, i will say it twice today. i love my job!
