Asher looked around the place, amazed that he had never heard of anything like this. He wondered why he had never gone to somewhere like this before. Probably because he hadn’t exactly been interested in surfing until he met Mel, though she didn’t need to know that.

Setting the board down in a safe place, Asher went to the bathroom to change into his trunks. He was just glad he remembered to bring them when he moved, he had almost left them behind. Taking a minute to look how positively twig-like he looked, he sighed and went back to find Mel.

Once he spotted her, he picked up the board and smiled. “So, maybe you should demonstrate what we’re going to be doing today, just so I have some idea.” Asher laughed, blushing slightly as he felt sort of out of his element. He took a moment to admire how great she looked, trying really hard not to stare at her.

Mel bit her lip a little, letting her eyes give Asher a quick once over before shaking her head a tiny bit.

“Right, of course. Only advice I can really give you is to spread your weight even.” Mel laughed, pulling her hair up to tye it back. She grabbed her board and waded into the pool, which was much much warmer than she had originally expected, waving her hand to get him to join her. 

“It’s warm, Asher, you’ll be okay, I promise!” She laughed, swinging herself up onto her board. She sat for a minute before scooting back a bit, “We’ll teach you the way Dad taught me.” She patted the spot in front of her with a smile.

“The best way to learn is to just do it.”
