All Things Beach- Monday- 1st period

[throughaphase]

It was definitely a Danger Shop day today, and today it looked a lot like Hawaii, complete with a surfer boy type standing there, smiling and waving at the class when they came in.

"Today we're going to learn surfing," Kitty told them. "If you know nothing about it, you get a board, you paddle out, and then you stand up and ride the waves and don't fall down."

"There's more to it than that-" the surfer boy started.

"It's a sport that started with the ancient Polynesians, and modern surfing sprang off from that, getting really popular in places like Hawaii and California and Australia in the 50's and 60's," she went on. "I could go onto a whole thing about the history, but it's summer and I don't have my brain turned on so you're just going to listen to this nice guy over here and then try it on your own."

Sidon always enjoyed learning new things, so learning new things that involved the water was like a double treat for him. He hung on every word out of the instructor's mouth and didn't hesitate even to get down on the sand, especially since he knew they'd take it to the water so the inconvenience of sand would be a short-lived trial.
