MY NARLY BEACH STORY BRO!!

Whoooosh, the sound the calm water makes as it blows pass my face. I’m at the beach on a sunny day in June just catching waves dude!! The water feels great and the waves are coming in non-stop. Its surfer heaven out here!
I’m sitting on my board waiting for the next wave. Here it comes. I’m up on my feet, this is a big one and I’m ready. Whoooooosh I’m riding the wave now and its going smooth. For about two minutes because I look to my left and all of a sudden this wave of water wipes me off my board. Now I’m under water trying to gather myself and I see this pretty, shiny fish swim by with its babies following. So I swim back up to the surface in search of my board, there it is to my right.
As I’m swimming for my board I feel something brush pass my feet. I dive back under the water to see what it is. I look left and right but I see nothing. Then I look ahead and see the tail of a shark swimming away. I go back up to the surface for air because I want to make sure the shark is leaving. I go back under and the shark is literally two feet away circling me. This goes on for about one and a half rotations as I notice it’s a hammerhead. I realize the shark is just trying to identify me and as I do it swims away. I go back up for air and then back down to make sure it’s gone. It’s gone. I grab my board and start back toward the beach. I got to call it a day after this encounter.

  1. I like how you use the sound effects. Also you talk as if you are a surfer and it makes it very interesting.
