I've been meaning to post this for several months now. I wanted to say something wordy and intelligent about it but, actually, it speaks for itself......
Despite the fact that it was blowing a hoolie, chucking it down with hail and was more than a little bit chilly, that smile is the biggest smile that J has ever smiled!
This was at Bantham beach in South Devon. J had a couple of lessons. http://discoverysurf.com/ The instructor showed J so much empathy and respect - his name is Harry. He is profoundly deaf but an amazing communicator - that lack of words couldn't have worked better for J. Words would have overloaded him in this extreme sensory situation. The sensation of catching waves was all that was required.
And just in case you didn't catch that smile, here it is again....!
