Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would
: surfing. But isn't that a boy thing? Some people
. Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and
in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first
was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to

, and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all

from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the "best surfer" because the ocean
an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and
. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it

I've
to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new
, so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start
the limits of things boys and men used to dominate（主宰）？
There're women
side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys
the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to
, and they will.
