Whagamata Kayaking

On the 18th of October I was on my way to the Whangamata Surf life saving club, the leader said “when we arrive there we will be going kayaking”. We got there then we had to get changed into our togs.We then had hop in the van to head to the place where we were going to start.

We arrived there and we had to have some lunch then wait 5 minutes before we could play games.We had to play games because the leaders had to set everything up, so we could start straight away.We played this game that was like soccer but we could hold the ball instead of kick it.

When we got in the water everyone was crashing into each other, because most of them didn’t even know how to kayak.After about 10 minutes we played a game called candle stick which was like tiggy.I was a tagger with 3 others but they all were faster than me because they were leaders.

After about 30 minutes I flipped into the water, because someone crashed into me.To get the water out I had to turn my kayak over. I then had to drain all the water out so I wouldn't flip again. I was lucky I knew how to get the water out, because I could have been there all day.

Even though I fell out of my kayak I still had an awesome time.The most best thing for me was playing candle stick because I tagged someone then there team mates would free them.On a scale out of 10 I would give kayaking 9/10, because people kept moaning when I crashed into them by accident.
