Richard and Joseph: A Week of Surfing

Six year old Joseph came surfing at Hans Hedemann Surf School for one week on lessons.  His instructor was Richard.  It was great see too Joseph go from a timid little boy into a confident surfer boy.

This photo was actually 3 days into the lessons.

Love the confidence.

So COOL !!!

Joseph is looking confused about where his instructors head is >>>

Having fun !

Surf Instructors Richard and James with 2 FLYING boys.

Party Wave >>>  Joseph made friends with other kids who came surfing during the week.

I think that Richard had as much fun as Joseph during their week of surfing together.

Visiting Surf Instructor: Jade

Jade Tindle came out to Hawaii for a few weeks to escape the clutter of California.  He has been instructor for the Paskowitz Surf School and has done a lot of volunteer work for Surfer’s Healing.

We were stoked to get an experienced waterman to come out and teach some surf lessons at HH Surf.

Very statuesque cross-step

Switch-foot on a clean day in Waikiki

Summer swell in on the South Shore of Oahu.  I like the way Jade’s hair is flying in the wind.

He made this wave too >>>>

Jade you are welcome back to Hans Hedemann Surf School anytime.

Mahalo for your hard work and great attitude.

12 Noon Lesson: Couples Only

Hans Hedemann Surf School has lessons 3 times a day everyday of the year. For some reason our noon lesson had all couples.

Our instructors took it upon themselves to make their time with us extra special. Not only did everyone catch waves, they caught them together AND holding hands.

A couple from Texas on their first trip to Hawaii.

It was truly an international lesson.

Another Great Family Surf Lesson

During a two hour surf lesson, some people are able to get the basics down so well that they can try more advanced moves on a surfboard.

In this case, two parents went tandem surfing with their children.

All four on one wave.

As they surf closer to the cameraman it is difficult to get them all in the same frame.

Father and son surfing.

Mother and daughter.

Finally, as the sun hid behind a cloud and James hid behind the son >>>

the whole family got a great photo.

Just need a little Photo-shop to hide the instructor.

Such an amazing family surf photo.
