Filipe and his methods continue to grow on us. He’s an absolute stickler for safety. Yesterday we practiced buddy rescue techniques in the shallow water.
(Phoebe, our surf cheerleader, ate Nutella sandwiches during the safety lessons.)
Once you know how to stay safe, you feel much more comfortable following another Felipe principle: the only waves worth riding are “those that scare you at least a little.” We tried that yesterday too. Whoa. (Sorry no pics of that, refer to the anti Go Pro policy.)
