..:*+⸖𐰬༼|:|~ SURFING ~|:|༽𐰬⸖+*:..

Not only we went surfing.. we did so much other things too! LIKE A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP! so we went surfing out at Ahipara down the street were that little old park is and there is a mini track and... a big river you have to cross to get to the beach.. literally there was no other way for us. in the river you couldn't see anything.. kind of like coca cola lake, the river\lake was up to our thighs so it was OK! anyways we went and put our wet suits on and the surfing instructors Kim, Mack and jack split us into groups, they told us to move to the side and all of the girls went to one side and about 3 boys we're in there with the girls. and all the rest of the boys went in one group. we crossed the river and the group with 3 boys and all of the girls.. the group I was in went first we got taught how to use the surf board and the do's and don'ts. The instructors kept on making us laugh with all the hilarious jokes! the group I was in got split into groups to surf with. Now I was TERRIFIED OF THE MASSIVE WAVES, I was able to go to Mataibay and dive under HUGE WAVES but that was Mataibay THIS IS AHIPARA/NINTEY MILE BEACH!  but the instructors helped me.. I was still scared though.. I did catch a few waves... but its hard to swim with your back constantly bending down with a heavy board that can knock you out. but the surf instructors helped, and no one got hurt when it was time for us to rotate and us to go back while the boys go do there lesson, we got to have lunch and relax in the river! (or lake). I have never liked evil sea creatures like eels  and crabs and since this river/lake was not clear and like coca cola lake you had to take a risk. one of the boys in our group came out of the lake with a massive cut.. everyone thought it was a stingray and stingrays are very dangerous.. the're sharp tails stab you and then you have to get the tail out of you leg or wherever they stab you, glorious but DEADLY. but the cut on his foot was not from a stingray.. I bet it was from shard coral.. because I think I've steeped on those sharp coral before.. and IT WAS CORAL! we PICKED IT UP  and it was! ''false alarm guys!"  so we went in the water and it was like one of the best days of my life! since it was up to our thighs you couldn't really doggy pattle without your hand touching the ground.. we played tiggy and I kept on running then jumping on the water one stop to get away, then you know when you glide? and your legs go straight? well it made it even funner because I'd dive then quickly crouch my legs in! then it was time to leave.. we all but our gear together and crossed the river. We went and said "THANK YOU!" and went to the bus.. but we stopped at a dairy and one of the people in our group, there parents were to kind to let us all have ice cream! and it was so much like a happy ending EVEN THE BUS DRIVER GOT SOME ICE CREAM! it was truly a happy ending! but it was to good to be true... I got sunburn everywhere
