Stuart loves to surf.

He's been doing it since he was five.

"I go every day that I can," he said. "There aren't waves every day, but when there's waves I go."

He lives on the east coast and had never even seen the Pacific Ocean, until he came to visit us.

He was anxious to give it a try, so that was one of the first things we did.

Unfortunately, the waves were pretty weak!

"It was fun," he said. "The water is a lot colder here than back home though!"

He's on a break from school and trying to save up enough money to return.

"College is expensive!" he said. "But I'm getting there."
