surfer dude

Gordy has never shown much interest in surfing.  He'd occasionally tolerate Todd taking him out somewhere, but he'd much rather "bodysurf" tiny shore breaks or play around on his body board...  until this weekend.

On Friday, we went to Ehukai for sprints.  Todd had seen that there were some cool sand bars in front of the tower, so he'd brought a Gogo board just in case.  And, we were in luck.  There was a perfect spot for Todd to push Gordy into some little waves and he LOVED it!  Every time Todd would ask Gordy if he wanted to be done, Gordy would say, "More!".  

So, the next day, we decided to venture up to the same spot and we scored again!  Gordy had a few falls that didn't seem to phase him one bit and quite a few good rides.  One of them was so long that the video I took lasted 26 seconds!

Gordy is certain that he's a surfer now and it sounds like he's looking forward to his next session.  Yay!
