Doheny

We have long been told (and certainly Jon always knew) that Doheny is an excellent spot for beginner surfers but it has taken us until now to finally break out of our rhythm and actually try it. It turns out that the hype did not disappoint. It is not as perfect as Cardiff but the closest thing to it around here and both Eden and Zi love it!

Eden trying to carry her board out. I am very proud of both my kids for always trying to be such big helpers, each always with their own load, on the way to and from the beach.

Below is the best wave sequence I got of Eden from this day. I was pretty proud of the way she handled the end of the wave, lying back down and such. I myself would have probably stayed in position, pearled, and eaten it very badly.

Zion's Turn

One of Eden's favorite things to do is stand on the board and jump into the water.

His wish is granted

Eden is thrilled to be pushing Zi into waves, while Jon stands at an arms reach to catch.

 Swim!

Eden definitely seems to prefer it to anything. All day long that is all she wants to do, swim, swim swim!
