Scott's watersports boot camp continues

NO rest for Scott, he is a tough moutain man. I heard he is a very good skier, climber, and was national team for biathlon and spend time in Norway or something, super strong all around athlete.

We took him to Kite beach today and sent him to go body dragg I could see a bit of fear in his eyes and Andrew was loving it. I could tell he wanted scott to have some humbling experience and laugh at him.
He did surprisingly good with body drag and managed to come back upwind of where he started so we handed him a board to try. He was struggling because he never had much experience with boards, ( he usually skis) he got lifted high and got slammed couple times pretty hard I looked at Andrew and he was laughing so hard!
after couple of superman airs. he was separated from the board pretty far but someone got his board and he managed to came back to the beach. he was a bit shaken but I thought he did really well for his first try.
when Andrew first came here, his first day was only about 2 minutes and he was very scared and second day, he barely stood up and body dragged back to the beach all the way from far outside and now he is ripping . I am sure Scott will be cruising in no time.

Andrew took over the gear and kited back upwind and then they both went out couple more times. Scott managed to get slammed bunch more times and almost lost the board. ( he had to swim and walk around to look for it for a while)
By the time they came back home, they were pretty beat up but that what they like to do, I think, beaten up by the mother nature . Otherwise why do you climb some freezing huge mountain where they risk their lives??
