The Grinch doesn't want to practice until he sees himself throw massive amounts of water and float over every section imaginable. Does that sound familiar? Ha! But to be serious for a moment and improve at anything, one must practice. So how do you practice surfing when surfing is not practicing? After 47 years of wave riding and 30 years of studying, applying, immersing, and teaching surfing, the only way I know of is to ...
The skit we recently did was a lot of fun and meaningful to me as I appreciate what Mr Miyagi is teaching Daniel San. We do our best to make the story go with Wave Ki, so listen to the words. Our next one is a Christmas skit, and we've got a doozy.

I couldn’t have asked for a better group to share the experience with plenty of laughs on our first trip as Wave Ki.
This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to return to @uluwatusurfvillas and expand this retreat to different locations worldwide!
The backside carve is one of my favorites in #waveki fundamentals 3, because to do it pure you do something different in the approach and that affords you time to add your own twist.

All funny stuff aside, are you Ricky or Randy? Do you have a friend or relative who could benefit from a good surf and laugh? Or is it you who needs it?
