Demi is a wonderful young girl that is in the church and it was her birthday on Saturday and I was cool enough to be invited! Her current interest is the movie Soul Surfer, about a girl who loses her arm in a shark attack and overcomes all obstacles to surf again competitively. Running in this theme, it was a surfer party where the group of 5 girls were able to try their hands at surfing. It could not have been a more perfect day! The weather was awesome, hot but with a cooling breeze and the water wasn't freezing with well-sized waves and just looked so inviting! We met at the beach at low tide and the girls eagerly followed Charl into the water. Charl had organised a longboard, a good stable board when learning to surf and one by one the girls had a chance to catch a few waves and all of them got up and stood on the board, smiles all round! And then I decided that there could not be a better opportunity for me to try it too! So into the water I went with Charl and managed to ride some waves but not standing.. yet! There is room for improvement and I look forward to having another go at some stage!
