North Shore

We drove 30 minutes over to Haleiwa today--to the dive and surf store--and got equipped with snorkeling equipment with dual-duty fins: they will work for snorkeling and for body-board and body surfing. We're good at snorkeling, learning about body-surfing, and getting up the courage for the boogie boards. Then, we'll take a board surfing lesson. I've found the teachers--now it's matter of making the call. So on the way to the dive store we stopped along the North Shore beaches and watched the big waves and the experts for awhile. Many more people watching from the beach than surfing. These people are good! After being a spectator for awhile I'm a little intimidated about the surfing--this is Greg writing that: Linda doesn't get intimidated.

And, yes, we are teaching. We not just being tourists. We taught our first day yesterday (Greg's three classes and Linda's one) and will continue tomorrow. The students seem to like us so far. We seem to like them to0. We'll see how it goes.
