After a nice weekend off...back to work
In the Waianae coast there are numerous shelters for children and programs for at-risk-kids. STN has partnered up with one such organization. Teaching children to surf. Utilizing their innate talents and teaching them life skills at the same time. It's amazing to see the opportunities that are available to children these days, and it's even more amazing to be a part of it.
I don't remember how hard it was to learn how to surf. But teaching it brought it all back. The uncertainty of the water, the power of the waves, the endurance needed to paddle at every moment. It was so amazing to be able to impart some sort of wisdom, the little wisdom I have on surfing. It was even more amazing to see the looks on their faces after catching a wave. The utter joy surfing can to a person.
I look forward to heading back next week to continue our excellent surfing lessons, and I promise to bring better teaching skills.
