Blowin' Thursday

Today, fickle Mother Nature changed her mood once again and blew strong waves into the white beach, threatening Beach Hut Surf School's operation.



Kitesurfers were already inflating their kites as the wind grew stronger.



Unperturbed by the sudden shift of wind, we still encouraged skimboarding enthusiasts to start their lessons an hour past 3pm to wait for the thin but shaky tide.



This is Jun Loterte. A father and a bank executive who was interested in Beach Hut's Surf School so he could pass on his lessons to his children. And this is how his lessons went:

Jun and Andrew One-on-One







Then three young gorgeous lad and lasses also dropped in for their free skimboarding lessons. One was this guy, Aldo Scarella who had purchased another SPF 36 keyholder for his skimboarding 201 lessons -- The Wave Ride



Sporty chick, Catrina Scarella bought her own Beach Hut Clear Spray Sunblock right there at Jonah's to experience the board gliding thrill



And last student was Cathy Gilroy. As a snowboard hobbyist in the States, Cathy wanted to apply her snowboarding skills to skimboarding just to see if it would be easier for her.



Though it always just looks easier than it really is, these Beach Hut Surfers still braved the erratic tide and learn skimboarding the hard way.



Here are some images from this Thursday's Beach Hut Surf School
