👍👍 I am 69yrs old and this was my first time surfing. Caleb was my instructor. He was FANTASTIC, PATIENT AND VERY ENCOURAGING. I was able to stand up once. He was so excited for me and this made it mean more to me. This was a bucket list thing for me. My only goal was to be able to stand up ONCE!...
