Olivia & Luke hang ten








I would like to tell a story to you.  The story is about when I went surfing in Australia.  We were with Daniel and Anita and we were going to a great beach on a glorious day when the sun was out.  Daniel brought his surfboard so Luke and I could have a go on it.  The waves were going to be 4 feet tall and that answer was correct!  It was a perfect day for surfing!  When I got a go on the surfboard, I was shaking with excitement!  Before you get into the water, you have to put a velcro strap on your ankle so your board does not hit anybody and so your board does not go to far out and you lose it.  When I got in the water, Daniel said to hop on the surfboard so I would not have trouble getting over the waves.  Finally we got out far enough that the waves would be good.  He told me when he said go, I would stand up.  When he said go, I was ready to rock and roll.   When your surfboard is moving, you have to stand up right away or then you will fall off.  I stood up on the wave and on my first try and I did it!  It was crazy that I did it on my first time!  My family was screaming "Olivia"!!!!!!!!
It was a great day when I got to surf in Australia!
