Then there was Katelyn. Cute girl, as T-Bone seemed to notice. She took 2 turns for us to instruct her, but then she was getting up, which is more than she had done before. She is starting to feel it here, and slacking the rope for short periods. She tried letting go, but fell right out the back. This was a fun crash, maybe she was trying a shuvit. The smile says it all, doesn't it? Another freeride attempt, but not yet. After a good hour, she was getting tired, but SO close.

I got to say,the world famous Garcias were the coolest family we've ever met.I think I was smilin the whole day,and I don't think I've ever seen that much stoke,and positivity anywhere! We had an awesome time,and Katelyn getting her surf on,was the icing on the cake. T-Bone was in fact checkin to see if Katelyn was watchin,and it was crackin me up.That lil kid can surf!Thanks for showin us how it's done Thomas. Thanks to ALL the Garcias for all the stoke amd encouragement,it meant alot. dtw-Why you be like dat?

ok, so I finished the video that introduces the GROM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlqVGQ5NK4 The last 1/3 of it, is basically Katelyn. For the record, I am selling these boards as a dealer, and this video is to intro the board, but does not do anything like show prices or anything like that. But if it bothers you that I sell this board also, don't watch the video. That said, there is a part at the beginning when we unbox the video. You have to watch Jesse's reactions, she cracks me up. None of this was scripted in any way, and you can imaging how hard it would be to script a 4 yr old. She is a must see. Then in the last half, it is surfing, and specifically Katelyn learning. You have to see her at the end, when she finally gets it, and free rides, how she smiles and does this like victory double fist pump. Definitely what wakesurfing is all about. Let me know what you think.

Ragboy-- I just wanted to say thanks for all the great video's. I have 4 kids ages 4 to 13 and all these video's are great for me as a dad who is totally diggin surfing and is also trying to get his kids to fall in love with it too! You are a huge asset to the sport of wakesurfing and in helping to promote it in a safe and fun way for all those just getting into the sport. Thanks! And keep up the good work. I look forward to each of your new video's.
