She could have waiting until spring to do this. Or maybe even summer.
Even though it was relatively warm in the training dojo, and even though they were still inside, the water in the "Surf-Training Pool" was no less toasty than a pool usually was. That said, it was absolutely freezing outside, and she wasn't about to do something crazy like try to do this in an environment where she could actually catch her death of cold. Sure, she broke rules all the time, but in this instance...it was something that not doing correctly could get her killed. Because for all that she was great with rocks and underground caverns and robbing random strangers as she pleased, Senara was...well.
She couldn't swim worth a damn.
It was just like her lack of visible muscle. She tried so very hard to bulk up--protein bars tasted like chalk and she broke a lot of heavy rocks in the mines! But alas her arms were noodles as always. Similarly she had tried to learn to swim several times in the past, either on her parent's or school's bequest or by her own, and every time she got in the water...nope. Nope nope nope. She didn't like the weightlessness, she didn't like the wet, she didn't like any of it at all so no thank you very much. So why was she here?
Well she had a twelve-foot-long sea pancake that could swim, and she wanted to give this whole surfing thing a chance. He was so large, it wasn't like she was going to fall off him and land in the water by accident! She'd just roll onto more of him. It was fine.

With a simple one-piece pink suit, goggles over her eye and glass eye, and her hair up and out of the way--and a life-jacket on, but let's not draw attention to that!--Senara took out the blue-gem-decorated (normal) pokeball from her purse and tossed it up over the pool. "Crepe, come on out! Time to earn your water wings!" A beam of white light shot from the pokeball and took the shape of an absolutely enormous Mantine. He almost didn't fit in the pool! And she'd picked a pretty large one! Crepe rose up from the water to look his trainer over curiously before he put two and two together, let out a strangled sound of utter embarrassment, and sunk into the water. Senara sighed. Yep, figures.
Damn bashful beast.
@whomever! WC: 424 This is a SURFING QUEST for Crepe the Mantine. But also silliness. (Wow that's a good first roll...)

After luring Crepe out with the promise of another candy should he do well, Senara slid onto the Mantine's back with as much care as she could. With how small she was and with how absolutely huge Crepe was there wasn't even any give when she climbed onto his back. She chuckled nervously and pat him on the back of the head. "Alright, so far, so good. Let's go slowly around the buoys?" Without raising his head to respond Crepe began to glide over the water towards the training obstacles deeper into the pool. While it wasn't especially tricky for him to swim with Senara on his back, his size did make avoiding the buoys a little awkward, especially those close to the edges of the water.
But, in time, he'd made a solid circle among them, weaving in and out delicately as he could. Senara's smile grew a little stronger. "Good job, good job! You're doing so well!"
...oops, wrong words.
Instantly Crepe tried to dive into the water again, embarrassed by Senara's praise, but this time he wasn't the only one going down! Senara gasped for breath as she was suddenly left without support in the pool, flailing her arms while the life-jacket kept her afloat but just barely. The water was SO COLD!! Goddammit all WHY didn't she wait til summer to do this?! Oh God, she couldn't even paddle right, how did people swim?!
Crepe at least realized his mistake and came back up quickly, pushing his master back over the water's surface and back onto him, where she gasped and clung to him tight.
"...DON'T DO THAT," she finally managed to scold, pressing herself almost flat against Crepe's skin, despite its clamminess. "If I didn't have this jacket I'd have DROWNED! Honey, PLEASE don't dive like that when I'm on you...! Uuuuugh, now I'm all wet and in the open air...il fait si froid aujourd'hui, pourquoi ai-je choisi maintenant de faire ça???"
Crepe let out a low, apologetic whine.

Senara sighed and pat him twice.
"It's...it's fine, Crepe. Just. Remember that if you do that when I don't have a life-jacket on, I'm gonna drown. So don't do that again. Alright?" Another whimper. "Alright."
@welp That was Fast WC: 374 This is a SURFING QUEST for Crepe the Mantine.
And that's >100!
