On July 6, 2011 we rented a surfboard for the day. We were told that the surf conditions were not ideal, but they were not going to get any better before we had to leave the island. Tim helped the girls in shallow water before sending them out to the waves. 
Emily stayed relatively close to shore....She was scared about falling onto the coral reef, which was about 3 feet under the surf. She did catch a wave and rode the board, on her knees, up to the shore.
Abi eventually caught a wave, was able to stand up, and rode it in to shore (of course, I didn't have the camera ready) .....
After a day of getting beat up by the waves, the girls were still in good spirits about surfing. They realized that it is much more difficult than it appears. They both said that they would like to try it at our beaches, without the fear of falling into sharp rocks.
