For anyone who does not know, a grom is a surfer under the age of 18. I have been surfing since I was 9 years old and fell in love with it form the moment I caught my first wave. I did not get my own board until last christmas. My board is a true beauty, it is 7 feet tall, fiberglass, and a teal color. Island Water Sports shaped my board and from the moment I first laid eyes on it I was in love. Shelly(my board's name) is a longboard and is great for riding waves into the shore. In the future I would love to get a shortboard, which is perfect for carving waves and doing turns.
As soon as I got my board I wanted to take it out, but the waves were terrible. :( Finally, I got to take my board out on a beach day with my friends. I was a little rusty from not having surfed in a while but I managed to stand up and catch a couple of waves! Of course my mom only got pictures of me paddling out...
