It's a resilient winter this, thankfully - summer's onslaught awaits. Sunday was cool and grey - but just cool fun too. We went down to the slipway and ran a radio controlled boat that Aiden was given for his birthday; it made Ev smile - he got a turn too.
Later on we hit the beach - there is zero surf, but Aiden was keen to go skim-boarding, so we borrowed Dylan's old one so he could get a dose of the feelings he likes - the colours were great ...
For me now, this is just an excellent way to make an ass of yourself, break your arm, or worse; for well balanced snappers like him it's just great exercise - spend a chunk of the afternoon sprinting up and down the beach to get the velocity for a ride that the absent waves are no longer offering. The photos remove the speed - he's really zipping along, and is pretty good - the big jol, it seems, is to get some good pace on the flats, and then try for some air on the incoming ripples.
Would be cool to chat. I've been waiting to confirm dates for a short SA trip - it's looking like it will be the week of the 27th of May - so hope to see you, maybe a bite to eat? Also, please remind me to give you your birthday prezzie - it is supercool - but I can get lost in the brightness of everything.
