Cyntihia Charles- Body boarding

Body Boarding was exciting. This is one of the best experiences I ever had. At first I was nervous because our teacher gave slips of the requirements for body boarding and one was that we know how to swim up to 100 yards. The first thing I thought about was 100 yards is a football field. I could only swim until I get tired but I could swim though. When we arrived to our destination we went far in the bay. As we headed towards there, we seen beautiful houses, a beautiful view of the ocean and the mountains. We also seen the island that they filmed 50 first dates and we seen the house that President elect Obama had rent out a few weeks ago that costs him two million dollars. When I started body boarding, I would either keep getting hit by the wave, missing the wave, or I would just go through the wave and be pushed down in the water. With all that happened to me, it was still fun!

In body boarding we used a short board and waited until the wave came towards us. We were still in the shallow part of the ocean by the way. When the wave came, we faced the front of the beach, jumped up and rode with the wave until it brought us back to shore. The entire experience was fun and I was glad to partake in it!
