Everyone knows that Iain surfs. Now that he is off for the summer he actually surfs just about every morning. It is his passion and has been for 25+ years. When we started having kids, we would joke that if just one of them would surf, he'd be happy. Father/son or daughter surf sessions would be a dream come true.
Well our sweet little kiddos seem to have found other passions. I guess maybe they haven't found their own quite yet, just decided that it will not be surfing. Iain T likes to surf but doesn't love it. He will surf a bit, boogie board or body surf, but them it's home to play baseball! Of course he may still change his mind (he does have plenty of time). He even says that surfing is fun, but it's just ok. Sean on the other hand likes it even less. He's not a big water guy. He likes boogie boarding but in general doesn't love the water, not even swimming pools. I think it has to do with all the ear issues the sweet boy has had. Too many water restrictions early on.That leads us to this...
Sara seems interested in surfing. She is a daredevil, loves water and doesn't mind water on her face...it's looking hopeful!! Iain does have firm requirements to when the kids can surf, and obviously she is too young to meet them. She is water safe in a pool but has a bit to go before she is ocean safe. In the meantime she can help Iain wax his board and cheer him on!
**Iain will be ok if turns out that none of the kids share his love of surfing. They will just enjoy other activities together.**
