Surfing
In Room 9, we were lucky enough to get the opportunity to participate in a surfing lesson down at New Brighton Beach. This was run by the Duke Festival. When we got there, we were introduced to the instructors and then they got us to identify the parts of a surfboard.
Here is an example of the parts of a surfboard by Scarlett.
After we identified the parts of the surfboard, we then learnt how to safely get on the surfboard whilst in the water. It was very tricky remembering the different steps but even trickier when getting on the board when in the water. It was very easy to get off balance and fall in! Though, I do think that was where a lot of the enjoyment came from.
After we learnt how to get on the board, we got in the water and gave it a go ourselves. For some of us, this was the very first time that we had gotten on a surfboard! It was awesome to see everyone give it a go and commit to the fall off when hitting the waves.
Here are some images from the day!
