Surfing

Teo, December 28, 2014

Today I went to a surfing lesson at 9:30 in the morning.  I got into a wet suit and I got a blue surfboard.  The teacher's name was Mateo.  He is from Canada.  When he was 9 years old like me, his family drove from Toronto to Uruguay.

The first thing we did was to draw a line in the sand.  It was supposed to be the middle of the board.    I lay down on it on my stomach, and then I was supposed to get up really quickly and put one foot in front of me and one foot in the back.  I did that for about two minutes.

Then we went out to sea.  The water was very cold.   I almost instantly could stand up on the board.  Mateo helped me decide which wave to stand up on.  A couple times I fell off and Mateo told me it was because I was standing too far toward the front of the board.  Mom and Dad and Javy were watching and they thought that my surfing was good.

Here's what I think about surfing.  It is fun, exciting, fantastic, easy, tiring, and wet.
