Narrative Essay On Skim Boarding

In 8th grade i was introduced to skim boarding. So one day i was hanging out with connor and a couple other people and connor said my skimboard was gonna be here today and then said lets go skimboarding. Well i wasn't very interested in it cause i didn't sound like something that was very fun but oh boy was i wrong.

Connors skimboard came and then they convinced me to go with them, so after a while i figured what the worst that could happen. So we got down to where we went and i watched at first having no intention of trying it. A couple minutes later i decided to try it well like most things at first when u try it you're not very good at it, and that was my case. I kept going to see if i would get any better and for the first 20 minutes, than hour still the same. We left that day i thought to myself when i got home, this is actually pretty fun. So i ordered a skimboard and

Then came time where we couldnt go skimming because it was to cold so we had to wait awhile. Months passed and then there was the next summer. All i ever wanted to land on a skimboard was be able to do a 3 shuv. I tried for countless hours and couldnt get it and it was really starting to piss me off. By the end of that summer i came so close to landing it but it just didnt happen. So recently this week, Jake Hendricks and I were talking and thinking about how fun skimboarding sounded so we decided to go. We got there the water was freezing my toes were numb but i didnt care i was having fun. So Jake is really good at skimming and did the 3 shuv like it was nothing. Then i thought to my self i can do this. I threw the board and ran jumped on the board and landed my first 3 shuv really clean, which makes it better is the fact that it was on video. So i was really stoked about that and left that day finnaly having the satisfaction of landing it after trying for 1 whole summer
