I ramped up the boys PE session this week.
"A" was introduced to the HONU Sorrento 11ft 3 x 30, longer and narrower than he has paddled before plus the HONU Element Junior paddle. Boy, this lad, from prefering knee paddling previously to standing most of this session was so good to watch. "A" has really knuckled down recently & is working so hard on the technical aspects of stand up paddleboarding [SUP]๐คฉ
"H" was on the LOCO Amigo Air, 12ft 6 x 27, one of my race boards. "H" rode this board back in the Summer in very different conditions. This time, he was paddling using the Black Project TempoX paddle, in very challenging conditions. Both pieces of equipment are very different from the regular school boards & paddles. After a few wobbles from the side swiping wind, he was off and paddling like a pro ๐คฉ
I am SUPer proud of them both. Their dedication to attend weekly sessions, even through Winter, is admirable ๐
"H" had an accidental dip in the water, which led us nicely into their homework; understanding cold water shock, how it effects the body and for "H" how he felt during & after taking a quick plunge into cooler water ๐ฅถ
I look forward to reading their homework submissions ๐
These sessions cover so much more than SUP and the technical elements. If you have home schooled kids who would benefit from joining us drop me a PM, email [email protected] or alternatively give me a call on 0458 164 138 to discuss options.
I look forward to hearing from you ๐
