Surf Days

Year 8 Surf Day

On 2 February, classes 8E and 8L headed off to Sumner for their surf day. We took the buses to Sumner and got dressed into our wetsuits.

We then had a briefing on how to surf, which included how to stand up, how to surf in different types of winds, and how winds affected the wave quality. We then got put into two groups, the Seals and the Dolphins, and each group either surfed or boogie-boarded. After putting on the vest and lying on the sand for a practice/demo, the boys were ready to head out to the water. The waves proved great challenges and each boy had lots of fun trying to stand up and surf the wave. After having a fun surf and boogie board session the boys headed off to get some food. They played on the beach, playing some beach cricket and digging big sand holes. After all of the fun, It was time to head home. The other two classes, 8S and 8D went on 6 February.
