It took a little convincing to get Mitchell on the boogie board. He usually wasn't quite centered on the board and so would fall off and get a mouthful of water and sand. He got it right a few times and had a nice ride up the beach. Dad, on the other hand, was a boogie boarding fool! He was way out in the giant waves going for ride after ride. He was really doing great and riding some pretty huge waves. That doesn't mean that he didn't take his share of poundings in the big surf. By the end of the day, Dad was pretty tired too!
