In the morning, at 8 my dad sponsored a surf comp for 500$ dollars for the open men and 500$ for the open women but, I was in the under 12s my first heat was at 10:25. It was really hard surf for me I had Oille and Milo. It was a challenging heat for me, when I paddled out I was nervous. I made it out there were some big sets. I heard a buzzer go off which means time to start. I couldn't catch any waves until there were 5 minutes to go and a good wave came and I paddle and paddle, I caught it and did a nice turn. Then I paddle back out and another one came I did another turn and my dad saw and I came 2nd.
I was in the finals. I was nervous I paddled out and I was in a rip and so I paddled to a different spot i caught a wave but it closed out and I didn't catch any good one but i came 2nd. I also learnt how to catch heeps more waves then normal.
