The Surfboard
I dragged the faded blue surfboard behind me into the waves. Once I was out deep enough I got on. I tried to remember everything the instructor said. I dragged my hands through the water. I saw a wave. Paddle paddle paddle. I grabbed the sides of the board and pushed up. I stood up. The board bounced underneath me. I stretched out my arms and tried to keep my balance. I rode the wave in for a little while before I fell. It was exhilarating. I dragged the board back out to where my dad was. He tried to catch a wave and stood but then lost his balance and fell back down. The waves started to get bigger. I tried to catch one but fell as soon as I stood. I was bringing my board out when my dad called,
"Five more minutes!"
I paddled out. I found a good wave and caught it. I stood and I rode the wave all the way in to the shore. It was the perfect way to end the surfing lesson.
Hi Sophie, I found your blog, but the link to the class blog isn't correct, FYI. This sounds so cool! And the picture is heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the part where you talked about riding a wave all the way back to shore! Keep up the good work!
