Hey all! This past month we got the opportunity to take the kids from the Quinta (an orphanage for teenagers) to the beach. Some had never seen the ocean and none of them has ever tried to surf. As most of the kids don’t really know how to swim we spent the morning playing in the waves and feeling out their comfortability with the water. After a delicious lunch of burger and fries I stopped by the local board shop and rented some boards to surprise the kids. It was so fun to bring them back and see the excitement on the kid’s faces.
I really enjoyed getting to play surf instructor all afternoon. I had to give all the instructions to the kids without knowing a single spanish word I needed. There was a lot of pointing and laughing and pulling on their ankles to move them on the board. One of the girls Ruth even got on the board the wrong direction. I tried to explain it to here through pointing and motioning for several minutes before i decided to just dump her off the board and start again. It was one of my favorite days so far and one that I will never forget. Carlos you are a stinking natural on the board! Love you bro!
