What is surfing? According to Wikipedia it is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as the surfer, rides on the forward or deep face of moving wave, which is usually carrying the surfer towards the shore. Well for me surfing is simply dancing with the ocean's wave. The happiest time of my life is when I'm surfing. The water rushing my feet, the wind blowing my hair, the sun shining on me feels so great. For me it is an escape in reality which everyone needs. The excitement of surfing relieves my stress and makes me forget all my problems. Surfing is one of the most fun activities that I ever did in my life. I may have slipped on my board and fell, drank or even inhaled some water, but I still love to surf.
I usually go surfing with my sister and her friends in Zambales. Until now I am still active in surfing. It is not quite difficult once you get the hang of it. At first, I really felt scared and nervous because I do not even know how to balance a board. The though of slipping on my board and drowning makes me cringe and want to back out; nevertheless, the adrenaline felt great when I was surfing. All the nervousness and cowardice was drowned by the water. It was one of the best feeling I had.
To sum it all up, I highly recommend you to try surfing. Yes, it is scary, difficult, and dangerous, yet it is all worth the fun. You just have to enjoy and really try to learn how it works. Trust me, you will always want to go more after you try it. |
