15th Street Del Mar Surf Lesson for Dylan 9/11/05

Took Dylan out on the 9 foot yellow softy. It was pretty dumpy in shorebreak but I had Dylan practice some popups and paddle a lot more when he's going for the wave rather than stop paddling right when the wave hits him. His success rate in standing up after catching on his own went way up and having a longboard also helped. He focused on bending his knees and was able to ride the board more in the shorebreak all the way to shore. All around I think it was very successful and he's made great strides in improving his surfing!
