Personally I'm not a big fan of the ocean. It creeps me out when you cant see the bottom of the ocean floor and at any given moment you have no idea what is going to happen.
I love to surf though. I love surfing with my aunt Angie, we are total surfer girls in a work of progress. I also like to surf with my friend amber, that is how i started surfing! The feeling when your on your board about to go over a wave that looks huge and you don't know if your going to go under, flip over, get toppled, or make it over. That burst of fear your get when the wave is coming towards you is so exhilarating. When your paddling with all your might hoping to catch this upcoming wave, not wanting to look back it fear of what you might see but, as soon as that wave carries you and your board and as you stand up it is the best feeling you can get out there! Or when you standing on your board and you realised you are standing to far up on it and it starts to tip forward and you know your going under and theres nothing you can do about it...... it kinda gets you even more determined to get the next wave you catch right. Or if you just in the water with no board and you gently rock over the waves going up and down like a roller coaster, or when a big wave is coming and you dive into it and feel the wave go through you under the water in your face, then you come up from out of the water not sure what your going to see. After a couple of times i do that i start to picture a shark right in front of me and that's when i know its tim to get out.
My favorite part about the beach is walking or running on the shore either with a friend or family member to talk or just yourself to gather you thoughts. Its the perfect place to think with the sound of the waves in the background or just to look for sea shells.
I never used to like the ocean but now I'm starting to like it a little more. Expeccally since its one of the things i get to do with my aunt! Everybody at the beach better watch out for the new surfer girls in town!
