wednesday

On Wednesday, the weather was wonderful! I only had three periods, because I went surfing and we go during schooltime, so the first periods were good, but quite boring, just like usual..

At period 4 was assembly but for the surfing we would have left during this time, so we didn't have to go to the assembly, which was really nice. We stayed for a while in the classroom together and could eat our lunch and then we got ready in the van. Then we drove to 2 students house, because they had forgotten their stuff and then we went direction waimarama beach.

When we arrived we got quickly into our wetsuits and then we went into the water. I must say that the water was definetly less cold than last time I went and I really liked it because I knew what to do and we had perfect waves, apperently it was one of the best days of surfing for this summer!

First a little refreshment of the bases

trying to get up-I managed to stand several times, which is actually pretty good, and it's just a wonderful feeling!

there were a lot of crashes

the first step, pushing your chest up,

then get on your knees,

then one foot in front and standing straight!

The car with the surfboards, after the lesson, everybody was pretty tired..

Here I go fully focussed!

wonderful waves!

Mr.Kitchin actually forgot that Rikke wanted to come with us surfing, so she was looking for us and ended up calling us and, she just went home, because we were already at the beach.. Poor Rikke!

So it was great and we had wonderful waves! I really enjoyed it and I must say that there is quite a lot of salt in the water and at the end of the lesson, your throat is pretty scratching because when your in the water your also getting some in your mouth..

But after the lesson we got some ice cream!:D I had maple shortcake, and it was alright, not super special but good:)

Home at 5, I was pretty tired and then my hostmom went to a dinner for work and my hostsister had been at home the whole day, because she didn't feel good at all because she has gladular feever...
