Surfs Up!

Our camp was supposed to be this week, but it had to be postponed due to the weather.  We had one activity that we couldn't change, so we continued with our planned surf day with O'Neill Surf Academy.

The Year 6 - 8 students headed out to one of our local beaches.  We set up at 90 Mile, Te- Oneroa-a-Tohe and were split into two groups.

One group swam and played beach games while the other group was surfing.  The surfing group had a lesson on the sand before getting into the water to put the theory into practice.  A lot of the children are surfers or have had a go before, which means they were able to support and encourage the children who haven't.  

The sun was out and it was a beautiful day.  Everyone had so much fun! We are looking forward to the rest of our camp activities next week!
