Surfing Lesson


This morning Sarah decided to give Kat a surfing lesson. In the middle of the sitting room.  She demonstrated how you start off by laying flat on the surfboard, paddling hard to catch a wave.  Then an ‘upward dog’pose, bend one leg, and pop into the standing position.  Perhaps it was the upward dog phrase that prompted him but Rick, after watching these strange proceedings for a few moments, crawled forward and the lesson descended rapidly into chaos.

There was much laughter and hilarity.  Rick doesn’t actually understand the concept of ‘play’ so it was just wonderful to see him having so much fun with the girls.

  1. Haha! I love Rick! He had to get in on the fun with his girls. My dogs would do the same thing. :)

  2. Kat reminds me of Lisa on Ice Road Trucker. (She is good). I like the surf lesson on the carpet. I had a surf lesson on the sand at St Ives. I never made it any further. Rick would like St Ives beach.

  3. You have a full house again! I was taught to 'surf' in a wheelbarrow. The bumpy ride was supposed to represent the choppy sea, and of course as soon as I managed to nearly stand up, I fell off. My career finished there.

    1. I prefer body boarding, I don't have to worry about standing up.

  4. Well you learn something every day. I never knew that surfing was possible in Wiltshire. I'd better get out my VW campervan, Bermuda shorts and Wavestorm board and head on down to Swindon-on-Sea.

  5. Are you sure you and Paul will have the energy to continue the lessons, and entertain Rick in the same way?

    1. We might just skip the surfing lessons.
