Nicely put!

I am almost 4x your age and can totally *still* relate to your words.

Over the years, there is one surfer who stood out to overcome the issues you had learning to surf.

It was not Ke11y! I think he could surf before he ever first paddled out.

No, it is Jake Kirschebaum. He was my oldest son's age so I saw a lot of him in and out of the water. When he started surfing ESA - maybe even younger than 12 - he was getting pummeled. But he never let up. He surfed every division he could, shortboard, longboard, and bodyboard.

All of the sudden, Jake became a massive talent, pulling airs, figure 8 cutbacks, tubes, all the tricks.

He won the mens pro at the Easter Surfing Festival at least once. The last I heard, he was engaged and living his dream in Southern Cal.

Stay surfing!
