Surfboard

is a time to showcase a special handshake and to practice for homecoming court in front of the student body. We spent many hours practicing our handshake. In the handshake was a mock lightsaber battle, me standing on top of him as if he was a surfboard, leapfrogging off one another, and pretending to slap him in the face. I was nervous to perform this in front of the school body, because we had not gotten the routine down. During the performance we had both messed up the routine, and would…

In 1964 a young surf freak called Sherman Poppen was dreaming about surfing the magic winter landscape of the Rockies. As a consequence, he built a surfboard for the snow. His first prototype was an about 1,20 m long plastic plank: two kids' skis bolted together. It was a present for his daughter Wendy which soon was a winner in the neighbourhood. One year later, in 1965, his idea was put into production: Carried out together with a bowling-ball manufacturer, the now called "snurfer” found its…

Essentially, skateboarding was supposed to be “sidewalk surfing.” If we examine the cross sectional shape of a surfboard, we see that it has a very small thickness and a width that’s much smaller than its length. The dimensions of a surfboard are the basis of the dimensions of a skateboard…

I am Calvin Aberg. I am 5’10”, I have hair and eyes that are chocolate. I am involved in many activities, my favorite of which is basketball. I enjoy basketball because I always like to savor the soft swoosh of my basketball as it softly falls through the bottom of the net. Another activity that I greatly enjoy is baseball, where the loud crack of the bat is accompanied by the wafting smells of hotdogs and peanuts as the ball soars out of the stadium and to the other side of the world.…

Sam grabs his surfboard and swim trunks and walks down to his favorite stretch of beach, Brooks. Sam finally reaches the beach only to find no waves have been breaking all day. Sam jumps on his board and just paddles out to the kelp bed and watch the vibrant garibaldi dance underneath the distortion of the water. Something bumps into Sam s arm and distinctively he sprawls of his board and into the salty sea water. He looks over and seas a abandoned surfboard with an address enscribed…

with their friends.” We eat fast. And once we’re done, Malcolm goes to get his surfboard. While I grab two towels, and several bottles of water and trail mix from the kitchen refrigerator for a snack, and a backpack for other essentials. Then, we’re off to the beach. The weather is ideal when we hit the shore. We find a spot on the sand close to the water. I sit and settle in on a towel. While Malcolm grips his surfboard. “Wish me luck,” he says, and heads to the water. I watch as he…

She states that she will still be able to take care of a baby with one arm. It will be difficult for Bethany to handle a baby,…

I would like to begin by saying, the poem Kinky is part of a book with the same name, and it is the most popular written by Denise Duhamel. Also, most of her poem, including this one, are characterized by been feminist, humoristic, heretic, and the use of literary devices, such as extended metaphor, imagery, theme, to convey meaning. With that been said, we can go to the other side of the coin. My understanding of the poem is a doll and a toy attempting to fit into the real world, the prolonged…

rush through my hair, digging my toes in the sand its very soothing to me. It seems like everyone has a different feeling when they catch a wave for their first time. My first time was in Florida with my uncle tony in the water pushing me on his surfboard catching small shore waves, the feeling was amazing I was thinking of thousands of different things to a point where I was questioning myself, starting to get nervous trying to guess what might happen,…
