Connor woke up this morning still not feeling very well. We hoped that with a full breakfast and some water he may feel a bit better as he still really wanted to surf. After breakfast he was feeling a little better. We went up to the room and got ready for surfing. As housekeeping wanted to clean our room we left a little early so decided to go for a walk along the foreshore. It was really interesting watching some of the ocean front palm trees being pruned and seeing the locals playing beach volleyball and racket ball.
We made our way to the meeting point for surfing and waited for the instructors. Today the boys were lucky enough to have Jo Jo, the owner, and Brad. Ryan was going out tandem with Jo Jo as she was hoping to build his confidence and get him standing more, while Connor was heading out with Brad. GIven they had both had lessons two days ago the on shore briefing was very brief. Before we knew it they were all paddling out to the break. David and I stayed on the beach for the two hours of their lesson. Occasionally we could make them out at a distance but most of the time they just looked like specs on the horizon.
Both boys were so happy when the came back in. Ryan had been talking non-stop to Jo Jo, who said remind people never to rob a bank with Ryan as he would whistle like a canery. He managed to get up a lot more today and also enjoyed it when Jo Jo said they had to go "overboard". He even came back with a blister. Connor also loved it. He said today was much harder as the waves were wilder and random. He also said the waves he was catching were much bigger today and he loved that Brad was teaching him more about how to turn on the waves. Overall they both had a great time. Connor is sure he needs his own long board. Good luck to David packing that one!!!!
