More Surfing Stories

Went for a surf with Sam again. She is pretty good now,... for a girl. She stands up everytime now and was wanting to learn the next thing.
I explained that to go down the line she had to catch a nice peeling wave, maybe take off at a slight angle, then put more weight on the side of the board in the direction you want to go, left or right.
She sits and selects her wave. My hopes weren't high, I don't think I ever really went down the line propely when surfing in Swansea.
Her wave is approaching, she spins the board around, and starts to paddle, it picks her up, from the back of the wave I see her stand up, then slowly tacked a little right, but then ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM off to the right, she rode the wave for ages, right in the pocket, with white water to her left, and smooth wave to her right.....it was insane, i started cheering, some guy on the beach started cheering, and sam had her hands in the air. She ended up about 50 meters further right than when she had taken off. She paddle back with the inane smile on her face. She is hooked.
I spent the rest of the afternoon in disbelief. I have stopped teaching her now in the worry that she may get better than me.
Viv - in your request for photos, I will sit with the camera and video camera when she next goes out.
