My First Time Wake Surfing

My first time surfing was very hard it took me at least 5 tries to get up.  But once I got up it was super fun and I realised that I could get good at this.  So when I started out I was very bad I didn’t really know how to turn and wasn’t very smooth with my movements either. Also wake surfing is surfing behind a boat where you have a boat that can throw a huge wave and you surf that.

But after a lot of practice I was starting to get better throughout the summer.  Also I was getting smoother and learning how to control the board. I was also learning the balance of surfing and that made things much easier. I was also starting to be able to control the speed of the board and not keep falling back on the wake.

And towards the end of that summer I was starting to take some of the fins off my board and make it a bit more slippery to make myself even better.  The first time without the other fins on it was weird because the board always wants to slide out without them on. But eventually I was just as good without them on as I was with them.  Also it was beginning to be easier to climb up the wake and slide back down.

And the summer after that I learned to ollie the board go up to the very top of the wake and grind the side of the wake with my board.  Also I learned to go to the other side of the wake and jump off of it. Also I was starting to try tricks which didn’t go that well but I think I can get it eventually also I started to be able to get really far away from the boat to the steepest part of the wake and get really close to the boat.  Also I was able to create the biggest part of the wake and grind the side of it.

So this summer and the last summer I learned a lot and got really good at something.
