I just wanted to say thanks again for being so great with Emma!  I can't tell you how rare it is to come accross people who are so great with kids- having two kids and watching hundreds of people interact with them over the years- teachers, day care, baby sitters, surf instructioors, ski instructors, etc., etc., we've learned that people like you are the exception and not the rule, so thanks!  And I hope you continue to use your gift to inspire and guide other kids- there really is nothing more significant and rewarding in life than guiding and helping others along the way and having a great time doing it....

Thanks so much for the email. Your reputation as a coach has now spread around the world. You're viral dude! Eeew. Seriously, the trip was so good and your input just made it the best surf trip ever. You worked so hard for us all and I know that everybody really appreciated your input. I mean, who gets to go to the Maldives with a bunch of crazies from down under, on a boat like that, with that food, tax free, and has a pro surfer to talk them through their moves?! It's just amazing! I've been trying to lift my left arm up at all appropriate times and have been trying to wind up and rotate every day too.......!If you ever need a place to stay in SA you are so welcome in out home.

Keep in touch.

I had the best time with you all. I can't agree with you guys any more, and share the same sentiments. James, thanks again for putting together such a great trip / conference!! Josh, fan#$%^tastic ! I learnt so much about surfing - unfortunately my theory is better than my practical !!! ha ha - but I now understand the biomechanics of surfing so much better, which will now help me with my work whenever I see a surfer with an injury ! Love the stretch theories and the front foot rotation correction Josh. Will keep practicing.
Hope to catch up soon.

first first first off - THANKS HEAPS again for the awesome three days of coaching.  Like I said before, you're style of delivering positive and constructive feedback is wicked and you do a great job of keeping things simple and fun.  Since I've been back, I've read and re-read all my notes, watched vids, and pretty much surfed heaps on my shortboards and the longboard trying to practice practice practice everything you had for me......

Big hugs,

Hammy
