my next generation

the surf was small this past weekend
very small
thigh high....if that

perfect conditions for a 9-year-old's first paddle out to the line-up
with the old boys
he paddles his surf mat as if it's a surf board...naturally

out of the white water & into some green face

caught a set wave
saucer eyes smiling from ear to ear
paddling back out for more

surfing with my son
best mother's day ever
