And by the end of the day, Marlon had ventured out into the realm of the unbroken wave. I think he is still intimidated by the drop, but I reassured him that that will quickly become the most exciting part of surfing (taking the drop and leaning into that first bottom turn of the wave - making torque and G's out of speed, gravity and positioning).
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
Super fun day!!!
I'm only posting because this looked really funny to me.
Marlon is leaning into his turns now, but the board isn't turning as well as I thought it would. My fat arse is too big to try it out for myself, so I'll have to keep an eye out on this. I'm not sure if it isn't turning because Marlon is only 75 pounds, or if the quad setup is too loose. Noe is getting good at popping up now. And she is really keeping her weight back (so she doesn't pearl dive).
The kids actually caught way more waves than I did - hawking the peak doesn't always pay... They dominated the inside!
I had the gopro still attached to my SUP paddle so I was able to get some higher angled shots. I think they definitely add depth to the picture. GO MARLON!!!!
My kiddoroosters are awesome surfers!!!
