Surfing

I love to surf. My kids are getting into it and my wife has had a go. Hey, watch out for a picture of us one day in Surfer Magazine.

My eldest daughter took off on a surf trip days before a trip to England, and I couldn’t have been happier.

My youngest daughter knows the value of a promise – and of taking her time to learn something new like surfing.

My 10-year-old son held back in the shallows to learn how to surf, until one day he went out to catch the big waves.

As a surfer, when your kids follow you out into the lineup it is a joy – and a major source of worry.

You can watch surf videos to get all psyched up, but at the end of the day you’ve just got to go for it. And that’s the best part.

My nine-year-old son has got into ice skating, the last thing this surfer dad thought he’d do.
