Our Japanese junior students hit the waves today for their first official surfing lesson. While the weather was cloudy, the water was still warm and everyone took to surfing like professionals! We started with the basics of surf safety and ocean awareness before jumping in the water.
Japanese student Hide stood up on his first wave and continued in style throughout the session. The girls were a little hesitant at first, but by the end everyone stood up not just once but many times, including the junior students’ teacher Miss Yoko!
After a marathon two-hour session, everyone was exhausted but exhilarated and happy to pose for one more photo like the pros they are!
