His dad used to push him on waves when he was little and he just became really good at it.
He even used to do contests, and I'm sure he wishes he'd stuck with the contests because he might of actually gone somewhere with his surfing, other than doing it just for pleasure. Even so, He's still really fun to watch (when NC gets an occasional swell...which is never. unless it's hurricaine season) Let's just say I've seen many a surf sesh, seen plenty of DVDs of the pro's, and I've actually even tried it a few times...and failed. It's complicated to get your balance, not to mention terrifying to feel the force of the wave behind you. I'm not really into dangerous situations..Well he's probably going to call me a barney* for posting this...
The other day I ran across an article on Bethany Hamilton, a pro who lost her arm in a shark attack.
You may have heard of her, they just made a movie about her called Soul Surfer.
The girl she was surfing with during the attack (Alana Blanchard) was also being interviewed and they brought up a video she had posted on her blog, so I watched it.
the point of this whole spiel is:
the Rhianna song being played is my favorite song right now!
If you're having a bad day, I'm pretty sure this can cure it.
and hey, even if I just did a blog about my random thought process, at least I got to squeeze in some really cute pictures of Dane as a little boy!
THAT IS ALL.
:D
