It was dark and wet…VERY WET. It was late when my group did stand up paddle boarding. It was a orange-sunset and the night was creeping in very slowly.

I couldn’t wait to get into the water. The tide was going out. In my group from Templeton was Eysten, Charlie, Izzy, Morgan and Anwen and for Tavernspite was Osian, Megan, Mili Hughes and Wiktoria. When we got to the activity instructor we had to get into wet suits. They are a nightmare! But if the wet suits are dry there are not much of a nightmare. 20 mins later we are ready to roll! YEAH!

When we got in Osian fell in on his knees while he was on his paddle board! It was so funny! Then we learnt how to go forwards and backwards and how to turn left and right.The instructors told us to try not to get stuck in the mud banks. But guess who got stuck in the mud banks… me. I had to get off my board and push it out of the mud bank but my trainers got covered in mud it was so disgusting!

Everyone tried to stand up without falling of but me Eysten and Osian  fell in a few times, but the funny thing was when Eysten jumped on to Mili Hughes board and made Mili fall of!

It was getting dark but the lesson stopped. It was a great lesson and i hope to do it again soon!I recommend you try it as it is great fun!
