Most of us go into parenthood with these expectations, but meeting them--finding the balance for everyone in a family--is always a challenge. Wish I could join you, but I'm landlocked in central Illinois!

At almost 6, he was getting too big to share the board with me. I sighed and realized it was time to let go and teach him to paddle on his own. It was a sad and sweet realization all in one!

I wish I would have had this when my kids were little. The good thing is now that they are 10 & 7 everyone either surfs and/or paddleboards together. But, the mom connection would have been so nice. Thanks again. fantastic story. I wish I would have had this when my kids were little. The good thing is now that they are 10 & 7 everyone either surfs and/or paddleboards together.
