[No one said this was going to be easy but if she followed along by his example Rise would do just fine and might even enjoy herself in the process. Laying out the ground work for her Ekko watches intently as his counterpart hoists herself onto the windboard despite struggling a bit at first. An amused grin washed over his lips as she now sits upon it perched on her knees as instructed, nodding along as his smile grows wider at her insistence to keep her steady.]
We're just getting started. Now hold on a minute while I grab my ride too.
[Wading back through the water he is quick to usher out another board into the open sea not to far from her so she could watch carefully for the next step. This was the hard part other than steering but so long as she kept her balance when she got up onto her feet and use the sail to stabilize herself it would be a cake walk after that. Pulling himself up and onto his own as well staying in place on his knees he looks back over his shoulder towards Rise with a firm nod.]
Okay now its time for the tricky part...Grab the rope attached to the sail then slowly rise onto your feet standing up straight then you're going to lean back a bit so the sail comes out of the water. Watch me, got it?
[Leading by example the boy rises onto his feet planting them firmly in the center of the board about shoulder width apart before he uses the rope to lean back a bit, sail coming out of the water on cue at a ninety degree angle so they wouldn't catch the wind and go jetting off without their grip on the actual steering portion hold itself.]
