It was my first time on the surfing board. Balancing wasn’t an issue, standing up from a prone position was.
However i was fortunate enough to have been able to stand up without immediately falling on my first attempt. To put it the most Bill and Ted expression, it was the most triumphant.
I didn’t expect to be able to do that at least not for the next 7 attempts. So for that unfortunate event, my instructor worked hard on me to do many other stuffs that i wouldn’t be able to do… Yet.
He worked on my ability to jump on the board instead of merely stepping up on it. Oh god, that was when i fell a lot.
