Friday, 7 May 2010 - A Great Surfing Day

After school Sarah, Julia, Marcel, Gian-André, Thomas, Til and I went to Pacific Beach by bus.

First of all we all needed a surfboard. Therefore, we went to a surfboard store. Because none of us is eighteen years old we couldn't rent one. That's why we needed an adult. Sarah's mother was so kind that she rented the surfboard for us. Thank you again, Mrs. Fink.

The shop assistant had only four surfboards so always two of us got a board. We were so excited before we went surfing that we forgot to bring our swimming trunks and bathing suits. But that was no problem at all. We all got a wetsuit from the shop assistant.

When we finally arrived at the beach, the fun started. The boys went first into the water and tried to catch waves. Sarah and I stayed in the shallow water because we wanted to get a feeling on the board.

All of sudden a lifeguard car approached us and we were told that the waves were too dangerous for us. So we tried hard to surf in front of the lifeguard tower. Meanwhile the boys were already surfing the waves.

It was the very first time that I went surfing. And believe it or not: after two hours Sarah and I were able to stand on the board to surf the waves! What an awesome feeling!
