: surf-ski. That's what the "sport" is around here. He'll learn
: quickly and won't outgrow it, and he'll have plenty of fun when seeking
: out wind and waves, getting in a good workout, or even racing.

Starting out in the sport with a surf ski? Well he'll either learn quickly or get quickly disgusted with the sport and quit, more likely the later.
