Despite thinking she ‘did okay’ out in the water, Abbie asked instructors Sami and Blake for a ‘review’, filming the whole interaction for Instagram Stories.
‘She’s as good as she is at surfing as she is at dancing,’ deadpanned Sami, prompting Abbie to respond, ‘Okay, bit of shade, but that’s fine.’
Blake said a photo of him facepalming himself while out in the surf with Abbie summed up the experience for him.

Taking it all in her stride, the reality star laughed at their assessments of her surfing ability, as photos of her out in the water flashed up on a screen behind them.
The surf school also posted a series of photos of Abbie during her lesson, and said what she lacked in skill, she made up for in ‘energy and enthusiasm’.
‘Such a pleasure meeting the beautiful @abbiechatfield today,’ they captioned the photos.
