Surfing At Tauranga Bay

 on the 19# of February my class went surfing at Tauranga bay the weather conditions were perfect and that made up for the previous times last year when we could go surfing the weather conditions were horrible. 


When we arrived there we had to go through a safety procedure about rips then about what to do if you got stuck inside the washing machine which was when you got stuck under a crashing wave. 


The water was cold to begin with but it quickly warmed up. The surfing was pretty fun as it was easier than I thought to stand up and when you did stand up you went flying. 


After we did the surfing we went on a walk to the seal colony which was just down the beach. The seals were down from the balcony and they looked cute and they were having a hard time being pounded by the waves.

  1. Hi Charlie πŸ˜€. Surf’s up! What a great account of your surfing πŸ„‍♂️ experience as part of the William Pike challenge. I was glad to read it especially since I was unable to accompany you on this trip. I know that you had the best time because when I caught up with you on your return you were BUZZING!! It was great that Dad could share this experience with you - he loved it also and I know that you are planning to go again soon! Tauranga Bay is a special place which holds lovely memories from your early childhood days when we lived in Westport.
    I love the photos accompanying your account of the day - you look like a pro!
    AWESOME πŸ‘. Mum x
