[She's trying very hard not to appear as a scaredy cat in front of the guy, that's NOT cool. So Rise does her best to reel in her panic when he waddles away to get his own ride. She can feel the board underneath her shift on the waves and she has to close her eyes to focus.
When she hears him coming back, there's an obvious relief on her face, but also apprehension because- she needs to stand up now, from the instructions she's getting, and that's easier said than done.]
Hmmm-! You do it so easily! [She feels around for the rope and finally grabs it, and shifts to sit back on the balls on her feet. Maybe... maybe if she sees this like some kind of dance practice will help? No, not really. She'll have to push through it.
She pulls firmly at the rope and slowly raises herself to her feet, her foot slipping for a moment on the wet board, but she keeps her balance, and manages to get the sail up too!]
Oo-! Oh, this is SO not stable! [She's standing but her balance is off.] It feels like I'm going to fall over any moment... [that was more to herself than the guy. He's done a stellar job teaching her, that she will appreciate later when her feet are on even ground.]
