It wasn't how I expected it at all because on tv people are really good and then we were like newbies so it was really weird watching everyone.
The things I found challenging were standing up on the board and remembering all the movements.
Some interesting things I found out about my classmates were that some had surfed before and some hadn't but overall I think everyone had a blast.
When I do it again I will probably remember some of the movements that we learnt.
Below is My Poem:
I smelt the disgusting salty air.
I smelt the salty water.
I smelt fish & chips.
I heard dogs barking as they were chasing after sticks.
I heard the waves crashing down on each other.
I heard people cheering people on when they achieved their goals.
I heard seagulls fighting over salty chips.
I felt the water touch my skin as I stepped in the water.
I felt the salty water burn my eyes.
I felt my board whack me on the head.
I felt my head banging in my brain.
I tasted the salty water run down my throat.
I tasted the salt on my lips.
I saw dogs chasing after each other.
I saw people staring at us and taking pictures.
I saw the waves pushing people off their boards.
Wow Laura! You stood up on a surfboard. Some people have never felt that sensation. Some say that surfing becomes a way of life so be careful if you get hooked on the wave action.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem and you have certainly placed emphasis in the salt. I was in the ocean so much over the Christmas holidays that my tear ducts could not salinate my eyes. for a couple of hours it was a little painful.
You have asked all of the questions I was going to ask so I have come up with this one. How important is the ocean when it comes to producing oxygens for humans?
I look forward to your next blog post.
