it was wet… REALLY wet. The rain had been pouring down a minute ago but I wasn’t bothered, I just couldn’t wait to get paddle boarding.

we were going down to meet our instructor and, because it had been pouring a minute ago. Our instructor first told us to get our wetsuit on, showed us how, gave us all a wetsuit to get changed into. When were changed, he gave us an oar each and showed us how to use it then gave us a board, but before that, he showed us how to hold it. when we got to the water, he told us to put it in at knee deep so we don’t scratch the board. we we went in two by two and paddled to his instructor, got told how to backwards paddle to turn around and we went back. I was quite fast. when I got back, I was told to paddle into the seaweed, which I later learned was called bladderack. When everyone had done that, we went down towards a huge, rusty old ship. I was almost there when I was told to come back. That was when everything went wrong. I was paddling back when I accidentally went past the buoys that we were not supposed to go past, because it was too windy and I was being pulled away like some others. The mans assistant had to come pick us up. when we got back from that, we went in and put all but one paddle board next to the wall and he put it out on the water and asked us to get into pairs. I paired with Jack. We had to get on the board and rock each other off but even though I stood on the grippy side and Jack on the slippy, he managed to knock me off, I even had a good start! When I got off, I went to the losers side then, I started throwing bladderack around and Luke sarted cringing away from it  and he was quite scared of it so some people started teasing him.
