He wanted to go to surf camp which worried me because he had never been in the ocean much deeper than his knees. He spent a week at ohana surf camp's week long camp earlier this summer where he learned ocean safety and how to vibe with it for the first time. I hope to sign him up for more next year, but the spots run out fast, so I'll try.
Today, he had his first private lesson with Jacob and that was a game changer. Jacob spent a short but appropriate amount of time before going into the water with him. The lesson before the water is very consistent (summer camp vs private lesson... ocean safety, surf etiquette, how to paddle out, how to pop up, how to get off after the ride. And other things) Then Jacob and my boy took to the ocean and Jacob was so dialed in on what the young one needed, he knew when to give specific and clear direct instructions, when and how to build a bond between boy and water. Boy was able to stand up on every ride in and got sturdier on each attempt.
My main takeaway: I felt like my kid was in the safest situation he could be, while on a board in the ocean. I would recommend the summer camps or the private lessons to anyone I love.
And kiddo wants more lessons with Ohana for sure! 🤙🏽
