I am having a hard time teaching the kids how to get up on the surf board. I am posting a video to show how I am teaching my 9 year old daughter to get up on the board. I am thinking our board might be too large for her to get up on. The size is nice when she gets up, just hard for her because there is so much water force on the board in the standing up process. Here is the vid:

At first, I ride with her to show her the method and give her some pointers once we are riding, and she got up on her own once, but she was so tired after the first time of getting up, she couldn't go again.

Any help would be appreciated, whether I need to change the method, or purchase her a smaller board.

Thanks in advance.
