Knee Boarding

The picture above is me getting ready to knee board. This was taken at the swimming place below Russian Mission. The guy's back is my boyfriend driving the boat. Before this, I have never gone knee boarding so I was sort of nervous. I had a lot of fun though. The first time I tried to go, I went under the water because I wasn't leaning back far enough. It was embarrassing. Further toward the left was a bunch of other people, who were swimming and sitting around a fire. 

It was a nice and hot day out so a bunch of us decided to go swimming. Some of the boys asked if I ever tried this out. When I said no, they told me I HAD to. It sounded scary but after I saw my friend Carl go, I thought it would be fun. One of the guys wanted to use his HUGE boat but it looked scary. It would've made bigger waves so I said NO. They decided to use another smaller boat. 

When we started going, I was so scared and I thought I was going to drown, haha. It was hard to see where I was going but when I looked down, I saw some shallow areas. I was hoping that I wouldn't crash on the shallow areas. It gave me a huge adrenaline rush and I want to try it out again someday. I might actually consider buying my own for next summer. It's a lot of fun and if you haven't tried it out yet, you HAVE to!!
