Kids Surfing - On a SUP - Video

[SUP Leave]

One incredibly useful thing about an SUP (or any big board for that matter) is that pretty much any kid can catch a wave. They don't even have to be pointed straight.

I put together a short video of my 12 year old daughter learning to surf (catching whitewater) last summer and in the clip is some footage of her friend who has no experience at all using my SUP in the whitewater to "surf" with basically no coaching on day 1. They love the video and have been begging me to take them again and again, which is awesome. It is great for me and my oldest to have a shared love of something, she doesn't like to fish anymore and I don't like to shop so surfing together has been sooo good for us.

Kudos to you; you will never regret taking this time.  Investing time in your daughters pays huge dividends.  My daughter, who is now 26, did the same surfing sessions with me at about the same age.  We surfed together several times a week until she was 13.  She vividly remembers those days and my memories of those times are precious and priceless.

I can just hear it now... " Daddy, I met this really cool guy. He has a 68' VW van and he surfs! You're going to love him.."

That's how it starts. My 27 year old son and 23 year old daughter regularly spend their free weekend days surfing with me and my wife.  Both of them have mates that can sup so...I love it when a plan comes together (*conspiratorial hand wringing).  I pray they make it a lifestyle and you're their lifelong surf buddy.
