Yard Sale Training
 
Thanks to Jim, who led a fun and informative surf class last yesterday. I am sure that for many of you surf entry/exit is old hat, but for those of us just getting our feet wet (so to speak) its nice to have someone take the time to show us the ropes. Speaking only for myself, I found it pretty amazing how variable the surf was at the shores. Within a 20 minute span, the waves went from ouch, to where are they, and back to ouch again. Heading in and out of the surf got the girlfriend and I more than a few bumps and bruises to more than just the ego, but we also got quite a bit of confidence and awareness for that facet of the sport. If there are any of you that feel less than confident with the surf, talk to Jim about scheduling another class.

Thanks again Jim!

I also attended the class yesterday. It is defiantly a must if you are going to go out in the open ocean and threw the surf. I learned some great techniques. It was a fun day with a very nice group of people. It is crazy how even the smallest wave will take you out. I recommend this class to anyone that is looking to improve there skills on a kayak.

A big thank you to Jim!

Thanks for coming out guys, the four of you made for a fun class and the waves were a good size to learn on, but made you pay if you made a mistake. Once you have the technique, going out and practicing will only make you better and more confidant. Going to try and do this class a little more frequently as I get calls for it on a regular basis.

I'm down for one of these classes. Pride goes right out the window when it comes to safety.

I'm one of the four who attended this class. This is my first time launching on the surf. I was a fun class and I learned a lot from it. Made a few mistakes on the class but Jim showed me what I was doing wrong. I am confident that with practice I will eliminate those mistakes.

I highly recommend this class to any one who is new to the sport.

Thanks Jim!
