This morning we had a retutorial of the surfing basics with Junior Devil, aka Amber. She has been giving it her all for some time now, and wanted another lesson from The Devil, aka Surfer Nancy (me). So, we met at the pier before the crowd hit, and brushed up on the basics. We discovered something right away. She has been too far back on the board. All she had to do was move up a little. I showed her how far the nose of her board should be above the water, and it was like magic. She was starting to get to her feet right away, I had to actually slow her down! Karen even brought her spare soft top for her to borrow. Junior's board has seen better days, and at one point the bottom layer started pulling away from the board making it appear that her board had a big tongue. Besides this adding comic relief, it just slowed her down, so I told her to go get Karen's spare and then she was catching wave after wave. A+ job today, Junior!
