I Remember the first feeling of touching the water for the first time. It was a feeling of joy, not only that but, I felt something else. I felt something ring a bell, something that I never felt before. To this day I still don’t know a word to describe it. Honestly I would describe it as “the feeling that you get when you feel that something belongs. "That might sound a little crazy but I was, I was feeling something. This is the story of my crazy journey of my life.
Hello I’m Sienna Hurak, I want to become a big wave surfer, I’m not quite there yet but I will not give up on my dream. And I hope you don’t give up on your dream also. When I first started, I told my teachers and friends who where a huge support in my 5th grade year we would do a “restorative circle” when you do that you share what you did over the weekend, and when I said “surf competition” my teachers and friends would say oh how did you do did you place in all of your heats? Sometimes I would say yes and everyone in a while I would say no. The thing is you can not only win. Sometimes you have to lose to get better. When you lose, I know you get sad but if you really think sometimes you can figure out what you did wrong. You might think of hiring a surf coach (which I recommend) or you can do one lesson. My beginning competitions were Christian surfers and gnarly Charley. Visit their Instagram or Facebook pages for more information at http://www.gnarlycharleysurfseries.com https://www.christiansurfers.net/.
Each of these are great organizations are perfect for beginning contests Gnarly charley has lots of fun games and giveaways, they are great at making sure everyone knows where to go and are organized. However Christian surfers have great prize bags and is very relaxing. They also do a great job keeping everyone organized.
