Qingdao Surf

---

Three years !!! Even though I have been in ,a coastal city,Qingdao three years.I haven't been so happy &excited!I have never found so much fun in the sea.
I am from southwest China ,my hometown is wedged between Mt.Cangshan and Erhai lake (a fresh water lake,2000 ).I had not saw the sea until I attempted my university in Qingdao 3years ago . when I was 19years old,I saw the sea for the first time in my life .I will never forget how excited I was to see the real sea !Last week when the 11surfers (Todd,David,Simon,Lindsey,Tammy,James,Chirstina,Jess,Marion,Moira&Nora)from California come Qingdao to teach ,Chinese students,us to surf.Which recall me how excited I was three years ago.
Thanks for Todd,David,Simon,Lindsey,Tammy ,James,Chirstina,Jess,Marion,Moira&Nora for teaching us surfing this week. They are very nice person.All of they have take their surfborad to Qingdao from California ,however they didno't surf ,they had spent most of their time to teach us surfing.At the beginning they pushed our broad when the wave coming ,sometimes they stood in the cold sea for hours... After all they are all very nice person.

The night before they leave for Hainan ,they show us a movie named Heart of a soul surfer .The story of Bethany Hamilton recall me how did I turn to G*d 2 years ago something very terrible happen in my family which let me learnt that we are so tiny and small and powerless and weak.Our God is a mighty one and He created us and the universal. Let us pr*y and He will help and comfort our heart .There are always many things we have nothing to do.But only with G*d and pr*y can let you strong and comfortable you .
Hopefully I can meet they again .
G*d bless they .

I go to Pepperdine and surf in Malibu a lot. I'll be taking a vaca in Qingdao this summer and i'm wondering if there's anyplace i could possibly get a board if i don't bring one.
