  1. nothing wrong with your arms! you just have to scooch forward on the board a little and paddle with your entire side, not just the arms. i was told that by a fellow smaller person.

  2. What does paddling with my entire side entail? Leaning into it?

  3. I love this picture.

    I tried to surf once. It was the paddling that killed it for me… did you stand up?

  4. I managed to get on my knees for about half a second, then I fell off. I wasn’t thrown off the board by a wave, I tipped over.
