One of our outdoor education activities was surfing. First of all we got sorted into three groups. The first group were in the water first, of course, which meant that they had to get ready first. So we all got into our wetsuits, and yellow shirts that everyone had to wear so that we didn't get lost. Then we all went down to the beach to get shown what to do in the water. The rules are don't go out of your depth, jump off your board before you reach the shore, and don't surf too close to the rocks. Then Simon and Jo taught us how to catch and ride waves. They said first you lie down on your tummy with your toes near the end of the board, do chicken wings on the rail, then you slide your legs up between your arms and stand up and turn around.
We all got to stand up on our boards, but most importantly, we all had lots of fun!
