kid tested, father approved…
Today, I received an email from one of my good friends in Florida. It was the highlight of my day and a great way to start! The message was short, but these made the message:
Paddling out like a champ
Hey kid. Where you get such a good looking board?
Riding his first wave standing tall!
The pictures obviously speak more than words can, but this was my friend’s son’s first time surfing. I made the keiki last April for them and hand delivered it during my visit for the STS-131 launch. It was the first time the keiki saw the water and it worked perfectly. If only we could all gravitate to surfing as quickly as the young ones do. A special thanks to Dennis Hanson for the plans! Hope to share more soon.
