Chris Foster founded the Fozzy Surf School on the North Shore of Oahu. The school gives vacationers the opportunity to learn surfing from Foster, who ranks 63rd on the World Surf League’s all-time list. Supermodel Alexis Ren could not pass up on the opportunity to learn from such an experienced and talented surfer. In a small video clip that has now gone viral, Ren caught a small wave standing shakily on her surfboard. The beautiful woman was bathed from head to toe in the bright yellow glow of the setting sun on the horizon.

As per reports on Surfer.com, Alexis Ren posted the video on her Instagram account and captioned it, “Lots and lots of practice”. Apparently, it took many hours of training from Chris Foster for Alexis Ren to reach the point where she could confidently ride a wave. The Insta-star thanked Foster for his expert tips and even tagged the Fozzy Surf School in her post to promote their surfing program. Iconic surfer Sheldon Paishon captured the video for Ren from the shore. The Oahu charger’s story from the streets to international fame is another inspiring tale of determination.
