My 8yo Son Caught His First Wave Today!
After sailing yesterday, we spent today at the beach I grew up at and my eight-year-old son Devon caught his first wave!

My brother Tod was teaching him while I got to enjoy some waves on my own board which he's been keeping for me here in Huntington Beach, CA. I didn't get any pictures of me surfing, but this is my happy face after surfing:
The kids had fun playing in the sand:

The sunset at the end of the day was breathtaking.
I've had such a great vacation so far. I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season as well.
Beautiful fun time with family! My love to the cute kids.
Thanks! We're having a great time.
Look dad no wetsuit!
Hey Jessica! I didn't know you were on Steemit! Next time you post, ping me so I can send you an upvote.
He was pretty cold and asking about how much wetsuits cost. He's pretty excited about his early surfing success.
Wow, congratulations! I had to resteem this right away ;-)
The posture of your little one looks pretty professional, but that actually doesn't surprise me much having seen you surfing in Lisbon :-)
If they start so early, they have the opportunity to become very very good at an older age. Well done, daddy!
Enjoy the last days of 2017 and have a brilliant start into 2018!!
Thanks Marly! He had an amazing time and is really excited to keep going. Too bad we live in Nashville. Hopefully we'll be traveling more to places he can surf. Right now we're in Oxnard/Ventura, it he's already asking when we can get back in the water when we had back to Huntington Beach.
@lukestokes Happy Holidays! The crypto world never sleeps but we need to take some time to rest. California is a magic place with so many places to visit, deserts, oceans, and so on.
By the way, I really appreciate your support yesterday with the 1st chapter of the Full Steemit Guide to help new visitors, new members, minnows and other steemians make their way easier on the platform. You and @blocktrades deserve more than simple thanks. You really care about the platform and the steem blockchain and do everything you can to help everyone here.
I just published Chapter 2, and this one has a special thing you created together with Pablo Yabo. I believe many more steemians will benefit from it on this new post, because its tru what you say. How can you manage and remember each boughts, sells and the USD and BTC price at that times, things are so fast. So, excellent idea. Thanks for that great contribution too.
Here is the link to chapter 2 in case you would like to take a look:https://steemit.com/steem/@gold84/chapter-2-of-11-focusing-on-the-details-of-the-steem-wallet-to-learn-as-much-as-possible-how-to-use-it-transfer-steem-sbd
Looking forward to hear from you soon, and your thoughts on this new chapter.

Thanks for putting out some great, helpful content.
@lukestokes you @blocktrades, @timcliff , @elear , @aggroed , @jesta all of you in the panel held by @aggroed have inspired me even more to continue doing this, looking for ways to help new people here. They will be the path to spread the word on the platform, more collaboration will extend here, and this together with all the developments going on in the blockchain, will turn steem, bitshares unstopable.
By the way, smartcash has gone up like crazy. Your posts on that one were great for me too.
One thing I wanted to ask you. Did you see the way to use vessel created by @jesta , to get a direct link to vote as a witness. I really have had travel to make some upvotes for witness. I want to give you a vote and @blocktrades too, as well as others that are really making big contributions here.
Hope to continue hearing from you, and I am really gald this posts are getting on the hands of new people on steemit and it is clarifying things for them, they are asking questions. I am trying to answer them the best I can.
Regards, @gold84
Es una manera divertida de estar mas cerca de los hijos, felicito esa iniciativa y comparto la idea de apoyar a los niños y darle confianza en si mismo, mientras mas amor les des mas amor ellos darán, mientras mas confianza les de ellos serán mejor personas para el futuro, te felicito
Gracias por un hermoso comentario. El amor creará el mundo en el que todos queremos vivir.
Look @lukestokes love is important in a family relationship but I also add the values we give at home to our children, for example. If you drink liquor you will not have the moral to call your attention when a child does, if you use drugs the same thing will never be used to tell you not to use drugs, that's why values are important and what you do is create values in the home, that is to go on the right track, I will follow you and I will be aware of what you post to support you with my votes, happy afternoon
Awesome, what a beautiful family ...@lukestokes , keep it up and I wish you all a blessed holiday season and more success in 2018.
In my latest post (pls see it) I indicated an abuse going on here (I mentioned you there ) and I want you to see it and take action. I wish you more success
I saw it, thanks.
Awesome that Devon already started surfing with 8 years.
I‘m 22 and didn‘t arrange yet to start..
But I intend to try It out in summer 2018.
Already looking forward to it!
My cousin does kitesurfing for years now and I will go with him next time. Excited :)
@lukestokes I also wanted to say on this way that I like you appearance on steemit as a Content creator (Love your Posts) as well as your work as a witness.
So recently I voted for you and I hope many others will do the same
Sent you this little message in your wallet yesterday to.
Have a good time with your family :)
I'd love to learn how to kite surf someday! I'm bring my wetsuit home to TN and maybe I'll figure out if there's a way to do that on the lake when it gets windy.
Thanks for your support. :)
Yeah I think for someone who already knows how to surf, kitesurfing won't become the big problem.
Of course it is not the same and there are different muscles required, but as everything it is a thing of exercising.
I definitely want to try out both sports.
You're welcome! :)
Great beginning dear @lukestokes let him go a head and keep going
Looks like a great day. Those mermaid photos are perfect :D
Excellent I have prayed for your child so that he can do great things in the future. I am congratulating him for his first job for your 8-year-old child and I love to love from the heart. I wish you all the successes that you have today, successful and beautiful, all the pictures are beautiful It seems like many beautiful pictures have taken your post Ray you set postai
Thank you.
