Surfing Fun

The group started off with ground lessons and techniques.

Our last day was spent on the beach for some surfing fun. The only person brave enough was of course Renie. This boy loves the water and everything it brings with it. Renie enjoyed his day as he hit the waves with surfing instructors. I prayed and sat quietly on the beach as he spent his afternoon surfing the waves of Hawaii. This boy is all Ramos. He begged us to let him take surfing lessons. I remember being a kid his age as we headed out to scuba dive in Acapulco. My parents were pretty much open to anything we wanted to do when it came to water sports knowing we were good swimmers, thanks to my dad. As a young boy, my dad spent many hours teaching Larissa and Renie the fundamentals of a good swimmer. He had taught so many youngsters how to swim. Renie is an excellent swimmer, so with that in mind I felt he would return back safely. He managed to avoid any injuries aside from one small scratch on his foot. He described it as an awesome experience. I told him, "Renie, just have fun, and ask for help if you need it." He did great.
