Well me and my youth group went to the beach yesterday and it was a lot of fun. we left our church around 9:00 in the morning and drove for like an hour. then we arrived at the beach. the waves started out like really really small kinda like the ones you see in this picture. however they were perfect for the rookie body surfer such as myself. so thats pretty much all we did in the morning was bodysurfing and swimming. then we went out to the sand bar and the lifeguard called us in like two times because we were too far out which in my opinion we werent especially since we had like 30 people out there that couldve saved each other. well anyways we respected his judgement and went out of the water. After that we ate lunch and then we went back into the water. then the tide was rising and when the tide rises, so do the waves : ). so then we brought out the boogy boards and rode humongous waves like all the way into the shore. oh yeah and i forgot to mention that three people including myself got stung by jellyfish and for those of you that are wondering, yes it hurts like nothin else. anyways me and my friend were having battles on our boogy boards (u know like trying to pull each other off) well i think i won because two times in a row my friend got more speed than me and he cut in front of me and i grabbed him by the neck (back of his neck so i wasnt choking him or anything) and threw him off of his board. well the funny part is both times we did that his board shot into the air and landed on top of my other friend who had nothing to do with our crazy battles. well it was a really fun trip and i cant wait until we do it again.
