Not bad.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not the best instructor tho. Oh the poor student. I mostly pushed her into waves and yelled PADDLE!!! She caught a few waves, but didn&#8217;t get to her feet. Hopefully she didn&#8217;t have a terrible time. <\/p>\n<p>After that I took the stubby out to try to catch a few waves. Did fine getting the waves, but the tricky part today was finding a decent spot where I could pick off a few scraps the longboarders let pass. On such a mellow day, almost everyone had something so I snuck into a group of beginner SUPs. A dangerous strategy, but I did get quite a few waves and they were all friendly folk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surf: Clean Knee-Waist high.
