Yes I do end up pushing him into most waves, then he gets frustrated and gets his boogie board. I think that when kids are learning with each other they are more motivated then when they are with adults. Isaac also skateboards a lot, and hangs out at skateparks, and that is very appealing to him because it's a group of his peers.
Craig we are camping again this Columbus Day weekend at Manresa (with the family of the kid mentioned above). You and anyone else on stokemaster is welcome to come. I've gotten lucky the past 2 years with good surf on at least 2 of the days we were there.
I'll post more on the dates, campsites, etc., later. On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 3:25 PM, <forum.sci@stokemaster.com> wrote:

Ren, is the 10 year old child about the same level as my son? I'm still pushing my son into about 1/3 of the waves he catches, depending on whether or not he's getting frustrated. The last time we went to Cowells, he was missing the vast majority of the waves he paddled for.
I'm still wondering about the dynamics of young kids interacting together when they surf in the same location. I imagine that kids have more fun interacting with other kids, than with adults. I have an idealistic dream of seeing pods of young kids paddling around and catching waves together. I'm not sure if it is so realistic in Northern California because it is colder and more of a hassle just to hang out on the beach. It's quite a different experience in Hawaii to go to the beach with the family and hang out with other families.
I think that as my son gets older, he may be able to convert one or more of his school or neighborhood friends into taking up the sport. This might be easier than creating a new friendship with a kid his age that already surfs.
I actually enjoy going out with him right now. He still likes my company. I'm sure that this will change when he hits the teen years. The downside is that I'm not interacting with adults. Well, it's a fair tradeoff for me at this stage in my life. Read More...![Go To Post]( "Go")
