Curtis had his first swim lesson last night, thanks to the great people at Aquaholics and their Special Surfer Night.

"Hi Everyone! We're taking registrations for this summer's (YES! SUMMER is HERE!) Special Surfer Night. You don't have to fit any guidelines, we love kids with Autism, Aspergers, Downs (UPs) Dubowicz, Blind (YES!) Deaf, Wheelchair, well, you get the idea. If your surfer is special- we want to share the stoke!"

The little man took the challenge head on, declaring he loved surfing and scoffing at his wipeouts. His instructor declared him "very brave", a trait we are well aware of but that's always nice to hear. Curt repeatedly went back for more and seems eager to continue to learn surfing and we're more than happy to foster the activity. So again, a big thank you to the people at Aquaholics for putting on the Special Surfer Night and introducing a great activity to kids who otherwise may never have been exposed to surfing.
