SURFER BOYS!! Cocoa Beach, FL
We had a great day yesterday at Cocoa Beach learning to surf. Papa Bob surprised us on Christmas with surf lessons at Ron Jon's surf school in Cocoa Beach, Fl. It was a perfect place to learn and especially fun that Papa Bob could be there to see the boys in action. I wish I could have joined them...but I threw out my back a few days earlier.:( Thankfully it is feeling better each day.
We were so surprised that everyone was able to really "surf" on their 1st or 2nd attempt in the waves. Getting to the beach was a challenge as each boy had to carry their own board. The first time Bradley kicked his up to his head it knocked him right over. It was also tough for them to get past all the breaking waves to wait for "just the right one" to come. But once they got the hang of it we couldn't get them out of the water. They literally surfed for 2 hours straight. You can see the action shots below.
There they go...
A little practice on the beach and they were ready for the real thing!
There is surfer Benjamin. He was easy to spot with his orange sleeves.
Here is surfer Bradley!!
After surf lessons Jordan spent 3 hours with his 2nd cousin Raquel determined to master a "real board." After trying and trying he got up 6 times and was so proud!!
Bradley is so proud!
Curt did a great job out there...he looked huge on his board!
Jordan is catching a wave!
The boys have decided that if we lived near the beach they would give up their sports and activities and become beach bums!! It was such a fun day...thanks Papa Bob.
Oh my word...what a fun day! So awesome that they were all able to surf, too! You'll have to go back someday soon so you can join in the surfing, too! ;) xo
