CAS, Activity – Surfing in Costa Rica
I’ve returned to Costa Rica for a second time for a short exchange program with an IB high school. As part of our after school activities, I have taken on surfing with some of the other students. This has actually been a huge challenge, even though I have started surfing in the past. For the first few days, I could hardly get up on the board, which I had done many times before in the previous year. This highlights the importance of practicing skills. This connects to LO2, as I had to continually challenge myself each day going out into the ocean and tiring myself as I tried to get up on the board. I would frequently be completely out of breath after coming back onto the beach following this attempt, but I was always invigorated, and I eventually redeveloped some of my skills.
