My weekend (13/14th Oct)

Hey Adamo here- signing in,
Seeing that I only started my blog yesterday I wasn't able to tell you all my terrific news that happened on the weekend, so I shall do it now!

Saturday
I had surfing training early Saturday morning at 8:00 am. My  surfing coach is awesome and I have improved so much. I do the training with one of my best friends, who now goes to a different high school. Well there was a little bit of trouble with our parents, so I shall skip over that, but the surf was...hm... average, maybe? We were doing tag-teams and I managed to score a 6-7/10, which is really good in the conditions. So that was my exciting news for Saturday.

Sunday
I belong to a girl only board riders clubs and it was competition day. I am in the intermediate competition level. There are girls from a range of 8 years to 40-50 years old who compete in the level of their chose.
In my heat there were two other girls, one younger than me and one maybe the same age, a little older and it was head-to-head. The older girl I took as an equal and marked her as my competition. The surf was small and you had to continuously paddle up and down the bank. The older girl and myself were both trying to get around each other to the inside of this rarely formed wave for that day. I just manage to get infront and her board nose clipped the tail of mine,  and I was away. Pumping up and down this decent sized wave, it felt great. When I was surfing that wave I felt like I could do anything and I could. I won my heat, which meant I went on to the finals!

Me at my surfing competition!
So the finals were up later that morning and it against and to older women who were maybe in their 20-30s they both looked quite young, and it was the most fun final I have ever been apart of. The girls were friendly and for once supportive of each other. It was great. I was relaxed and surfing the best I possible could. When the final was up I paddled into shore laughing and smiling, it was wonderful. I ran up the sand to the score sheet. I HAD WON! I ran over to my dad and gave him a huge hug, I was so excited, I just couldn't believe it.

So that was my wonderful weekend, and it really was amazing and I had so much fun. I got to see my best friend, surf, each cake and share the day with my dad. My mum and one of my sisters did the 5km fun run and my other older sister was driving them around.



Please fan my blog and tell your friends :D
For now, Adamo
May the odds be ever in your favour- hunger games!
