Last week we went to Australia and we went surfing at Apollo Bay! And we had surf lessons!! it was fun! We got to stand up on the board. To stand up first, when you see a big wave that has already broken, you start doing freestyle swimming on your board away from the wave. When you feel the wave on your feet then you do three more big pushes, then you do a yoga-stretch thing, lifting your body halfway up on your arms, and then you kneel down while you are holding to the edges of the board. Then you bring one leg up in a kneeling position and you stand up. If you fall over then you fall over backwards because if you jump off you might twist your ankle. It was really exciting.
