Thanks from the Grom

“Grom” = A young surfer, usually under 15 years old, with ample excited energy who always wants to go surfing.

A few retreats ago we had a Grom by the name of Julia spend a week in Nicaragua. You can check out the video footage of her here.

It’s always fun to get messages of thanks after retreats, especially messages that show such continued excitement and desires to continue improving. Here’s one from Julia.

Dear Holly,

I really appreciate all the help you gave me when I was in Nicaragua. I had such a good time and my surfing progressed so much. After every video coaching session, I wrote down notes so I could keep working at home. Also, thank you for letting me ride your amazing Dwart. Dad contacted the guys at Rusty and we are looking into getting one, possibly with the exact same dimensions as yours! Not only did I have a fabulous time surfing with you guys, I also had such a great time bonding with everyone at the camp, especially Jackie, Nikki, and Jamrock. I had such a great time that I cried when we left El Coco Loco and when the plane took off from Managua.  Y’all’s taking the time to hang with me was really special. Attached are several pictures that Dad took that we thought you’d like.
