My new challenge would be to teach KODA because it's a bit different than deaf student; however they all know American Sign Language (ASL). It's perfect for me so I can communicate with anyone who knows ASL much easier. Teaching them in ASL really does inspire me. Here are some the photos that I taught 3 KODAS.<br /><br />I did really had a great time teaching them. Seeing them smile influenced me to smile then I influenced them back too. It was really cool! Now you noticed the students wearing yellow shirts and I was wearing red shirt, there is a short story behind this. Remember I mentioned about last year that I was teaching deaf students as voluntary, I decided to go to <a href="http://pacificbeachsurfshop.com/">Pacific Beach Surf Shop </a> because I would to be more involved with teaching surf lessons. The owner of the shop named Randy knows me from surfing at my local spot and I asked him some questions about teaching skills and rules of teaching students.<br /><br />After talking with him, he decided to ask me why not work for him. It was funny because I was asking him questions and I did not expect to work for him right away. He was asking me how long I have surfed and if I have alot of experiences with surfing. I told him yes, I have surfed for 14 years and the first time I ever surfed was about 20 years ago. Randy thought I'm qualified for the job and wondered if I could make some contacts in the deaf community. I told him yes then he said go ahead start making contacts with them. I'm shocked that I can go ahead and contact the deaf community.<br /><br />Wait a minute, deaf community? How about ASL community? Yes, it's more like it. There are ASL students out there that they are taking ASL classes. Why not teach them how to surf and learn ASL at the same time?! It's win and win situation. Deaf, Children of Deaf Adult (CODA)s, KODAs, and ASL students, please come and check this website out, <a href="http://pacificbeachsurfschool.com/">Pacific Beach Surf School</a>. You see this cool shirt?<br /><br />Right on!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/14393/">Click on DeafVIDEO (Video Comments)</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253039.post-74515045062884212152008-07-11T23:39:00.000-07:002008-07-11T23:40:51.199-07:00In the Search of Deaf Surfers<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uDovki0m5iE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uDovki0m5iE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Need Transcript?

We had great talks about our experiences in surfing for many years. We just realized that we have surfed with 2 or 3 of us at the same time until we all met at the reunion at once! We are appreciated with ourselves in the surfing culture that we went through difficult times in the hearing world in the past. Several years later, we got more comfortable with the surfing culture by having friends to give us support and feedbacks. Now we do have more knowledge about surfing culture that we could share our experiences with anyone. <br /><br />We would like to share our experiences to the youth deaf surfers. Are you ready to join us? <br /><br />Cheers, <br />JONUnknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253039.post-11722351214946932672007-08-19T09:42:00.001-07:002007-08-19T10:00:00.428-07:00The vlogger teaches vlogger to surf!Hello..<br /><br />I would like to introduce a deaf vlogger, who came all way from Fremont and take surf lessons from me.

Sharon contacted me last week after she saw the SDDS vlog that her kids want to learn how to surf. We have been communicating through emails. Sharon has 2 kids, Michael, 14 years old and Rachel, 11 years old. They were learning how to surf while Sharon and her fiance, Ken Rothschild were shooting video and taking pictures. <br /> <br />I'm very pleased that Sharon willing to shoot video for me while I was giving lessons to the kids. I helped the kids by pushing them while they were on the surfboard so they could ride with the waves. I'm impressed with them that they were emulating from my help to their independent. <br /> <br />Now, I will let you to view the rest of the video clip. <br /> <br />Cheers,<br />JONUnknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253039.post-77649828380044988082007-08-15T19:57:00.001-07:002007-08-15T20:05:07.355-07:00Picture by Davy: Tourmaline 8/11/07Surfers: Jess, Jon, and John<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb101/L3nois/TLsurfers.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Photo: DavyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253039.post-10200713130619921582007-08-11T22:39:00.001-07:002007-08-11T23:06:26.717-07:00ASL Story: Tourmaline 8/11/07<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ELA4G3QMLaI"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ELA4G3QMLaI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425"></embed></object><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br />(Transcript) <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Hello..<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I want to share a story with you about <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Tourmaline</st1:placename> <st1:placename st="on">Surf</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Park</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
