Senses poem
On Monday 21st March the Year 7/8s from Rimu Class went surfing for the day at Sumner Beach as their first Outdoor Challenge for the William Pike Award. I expected it to be quite easy, but it harder than it looks! I found actually getting up on the board quite challenging, but once I practised a lot it became easier. I learnt that my classmates really like surfing! Everyone seemed pretty happy and keen to keep giving it a go. When I surf again I will remember the 'cat,..,...' movement and to keep my feet right down the bottom of the board when I start. It's important to be aware of other surfers too and not to cut into their wave.
I smell the sea air.
I Smell the salty air as I surfed the waves.
I smell the wet dog as I crashed into shore.
I Smell the salty air as I surfed the waves.
I touched the cool salty water when I fell of my board.
I touched the board as I made my way up to stand up.
I touched the cool salty water when I fell of my board.
I touched the board as I made my way up to stand up.
I feel the seaweed running thru my feet.
I see the waves crashing.
I have always thought that surfing looks quite hard. I am glad to hear that you persevered and that you enjoyed surfing. It sounds a little like skiing as far as having to watch out for other participants. Do you think you might add surfing to your leisure activities? I look forward to your next blog post.
