Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore

  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       surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my      , there's nothing like it. It involves body,        , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all     us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that     , becoming one with the    , is like I'm weightless.

  The one thing I can    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    from any other sport.

  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.
