IDEAS FOR COOL COLLEGE CARE PACKAGES
PARENTS COLLEGE CARE PACKAGE
EXCHANGE
Once your child
graduates from High School it seems that you may loose track of parents
that you have become friends with over the years. So why not
gather them all together and do a care package exchange. Step One:
Email parents to see who would like to be involved. Step Two:
Select a date, time and location to meet. Step Three: Make one
person responsible for purchasing the items (i.e. baskets, boxes,
stockings etc..), cellophane paper, and ribbon to hold all of the
goodies (share this cost). Step Four: Select a theme and set a
dollar amount. Step Five: Everyone decides on an item or two for
the basket and then goes out and purchases enough for each person
involved. For example if there are 6 parents involved then
purchase 6 of each item. Step Six: Meet at designated place
and time to put the baskets together. Step Seven: Mail them off to
your college kids!!!! Step Eight: Do it on a routine basis.

Surfing
A bad day in the water is better
than a good day at work or school!
TYPES OF
SURFING


|
Malibu surfing is the second type, which
is the typical image of surfing that you have, and it involves
the surfers lying down on a fiberglass board using their arms to
paddle and catch a wave. Once they catch a wave, the surfer
stands on the board and rides along the wave. |
 |
Body surfing,
where the surfers lie on boards made from lightweight foam about three
feet in length and ride the waves. it is very common with young children. |
 |
Kneeboarding, is
where surfers ride a specialized small board on their knees, they must
stay in a compact and stable position so they do not fall off. |

Tips to help

History of Surfing
Surfing is one of the oldest practiced recreational activities in
the world.
AGE |
Since this sport obviously requires a lot of patience so it is
important that your child be at least the age of nine or ten
before beginning to surf |
LESSONS |
Surf lessons
are available in many countries through surf shops or
independent companies. You can either take group lessons or
private lessons. Lessons can be one, two or three hours.
It will cost approximately $55 or $60 per hour for group lessons
and $80 - $90 per hour for private lessons. |
BOARD |
As a beginner, you need
a long, thick, wide board. The objective is to get something
that will easily allow you to catch waves and be stable and
forgiving when you are learning to stand.
In addition to your board you're going to need
some wax, A leash and something to wear. |
WETSUIT |
In many
locations a wetsuit is a required piece of equipment for
surfing. A wetsuit is a snug fitting neoprene rubber suit
designed to insulate you in cold waters.
Depending on the
temperature and condition of the water, you may consider a hood,
gloves, and/or booties. Remember that your body cools much
faster in water than it does in the air so keep your head and
body warm! There are a variety of styles of wetsuits to
choose from and it really depends on when and where you will use
it as to what you should buy.
|
LEASHES |
Leashes keep
your board attached to you. The rule of thumb is that you leash
should be at least the length of your board or slightly bigger. Leash will cost
approximately $20 - $25. |
