It was fantastic weather today with blue skies and good surf so at 2pm we turned up to record the event for posterity. After being kitted out with full length wetsuits they were given a surfboard each and in pairs they made their way down to the beach ...
There were three instructors and so the complete novices had two of them while a small group who had done some surfing before had the third instructor. They were given a talk on safety and then began the instructions on using the board ...
They learnt how to time the waves and paddle ...
and then to push up onto their hands ...
It was now time to try out these techniques in the water ...
Then it was back to the sand ...
and another lesson but this time they were shown how to stand up ...
Once again it was back to the water and hopefully to put it all into practice! Jamie was over the moon that he managed to stand ...
Phill is still working on it and hoping that tomorrow when they go for their second lesson, it will all work for him. It all looked great fun, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves but they ended the afternoon absolutely creamed crackered!
