Surfing is my passion, my way of life and what I LOVE. It all started when my mum started surfing-3 years ago, when I was 7 and my sister-Sophia was 4. Ever since my mum started I've always watched her, thinking how fun it would be, I mean she's ALWAYS out there! I REALLY wanted to have a go! 1 year later- when I was 8 and Sophia was 5 we went to the beach again. Me and Sophia thought it would be like normal- watch mummy, go to the lolly shop and go home. But this time it was different, when we got to the beach mummy said "Okay girls, get out of the car and get your wetsuits on"
"Okay we'll get our...WHAT?!"
"Okay we'll get our...WHAT?!" We both replied in unison. "WE'RE GETTING WETSUITS?!?"
"That must mean...
WE'RE GOING SURFING!!!"
"WE'RE GOING SURFING!!!" We both screamed in joy! "Well we thought that you see me and daddy surfing all the time, so we thought that you would want to have a go, and if you like it we'll you out more! Mummy replied. So we got our gear on and headed out. The first few waves I caught were rubbish!!! I kept either falling off the board (also called a "wipeout"), not catching the wave or getting water up my nose! I was about to give up-I never knew surfing could be so hard! I decided to try to catch on more wave, so I paddled out. When I got to where the waves were I could see something moving in the distance, as it got closer i realised that it was a wave! And what looked like a good one too! So I swerved my board around and started paddling hard out. NO! I MISsed it again? NO!, NO NO NO NO NO! I'VE CAUGHT IT!!! MY FIRST WAVE!!! YES YES YES!!! I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT FELT LIKE! NOW I KNOW WHY MUMMY GOES SURFING ALL THE TIME! IT'S BECAUSE SHE LOVES IT AND SHE LOVES THE RUSH AND ADRENALIN THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU CATCH A WAVE!!! AND I LOVE IT TOO!!! And from that day on I've kept surfing and someday I REALLY hope to become a well-known professional surfer!
