That first day surfing in the Lap Pool didn’t work out quiet as well as I had expected. Each time I would try to put my board in the water and get on it the current would wash me and the board backward. When I later explained to John, and then showed him what I was doing, he had the brilliant idea of tying the leg rope my board to the front edge of the Lap Pool. After that, indoor surfing became an everyday thing. I would get up in the mornings, head down to surf and then John would join me later. We’d work on strength and balance training before school. I also trained most afternoons too, but not every afternoon because sometimes it took me all afternoon and evening to get my homework completed.
