Bodyboarding At MERC

It was a frosty cold day at MERC ( Marine Education & Recreation Centre ). It was our turn to do activity called Bodyboarding. (Bodyboarding is a water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard on the crest, face and curl of a wave.)
First we had to get our wetsuit on so that it can keep us warm so that we don’t get Hypothermia. ( Hypothermia is when you have a dangerously low body temperature ). After getting changed into our wet suit, we headed outside and listening to instructions and soon to get our boards. Our boards were like surf boards, but halved. Next we headed down to location where we were learning the safety calls that we need to know.
After learning our safety calls, everyone race down into the water and when everyone got into the water, it was freezing cold like it was a fridge.Soon, it got warmer and we lyed our tummy on our board while a wave was coming. It hits us and I felt like I was flying and while I was enjoying it, I noticed that when we bodyboarding, we are above the wave. After having a great time in the water, we soon headed back to MERC and wash our boards and washed our wetsuits and then took the things back where they were.
Bodyboarding is fun as it's my first experiences and I hope I can do it again later the year with my family.
