The Beach :)

Last weekend we went to A for the weekend. Mum was away so it was just 
me,Dan,Reuben,Daddy, Noel and Rachel.We had planned to go surfing in T,but no-one 
replied to my email about borrowing boards! The car journey to get to Taghazout takes 
about half an hour, but the journey is nice because you can see the waves. When we got 
there we rented three foam boards and drove down to the beach. It was so hot that the 
sand burnt our feet and we had to run to the sea! The board was so heavy that I had to 
drag it to the water. I'm only a beginner and I can just stand up... and fall down. On my 
first wave I was too far up on my board and I went over the handlebars. I think I stood 
up on my third wave, it was amazing. I stood up lots after that. What you ahve to do is 
pick your wave, jump on your board with your back to the wave, and you paddle for dear 
life. If you don't, the wave goes over you. When you're in the wave and balance, you go 
on one knee, then you half kneel and try to stand up (and not die.) There are lots of 
swimmers, so I accidently crashed into a little girl,... twice! The waves were perfect 
and the water was cool, clean and clear. It was so fun, except that we all had board 
burn, sore backs, sore heads (from board bashes), and were exhausted, but it was still 
amazing.
