Day 3: 13th of April - Surf Class, North Shore and PCC

    The day we all expected was arrived: surf lesson!
 
    Our day started early in the morning. We took the bus to the beach and the bus driver told us the must knows about Hawaii. While we were driving to the beach we almost had a huge car crash! A car drove on the wrong side of the street and hit the bus, 5 people died plus one cat and 6 are in the hospital.. Just kidding, only the bus had a little damage. After the shocking happening, we arrived and got some surf lessons. We were divided in 3 groups and everyone tried their best to catch some waves in Hawaiian ‘hang loose’ style. It was awesome!
 
    Each group had a lesson that was long one hour. First we needed some instructions because the most of us didn't ever touch a surfboard before. They told us to watch out for the turtles because they can rip up your leg if you’re not careful enough. She didn't even tell us the whole story and then a huge turtle showed up. O M G! But no… nothing happened, it was awesome to see such an interesting animal so close! While the third group was surfing it started to rain, but it didn't stop them. The water was warm enough anyways. Meanwhile one group was surfing, were the other two groups chilling on the beach, looking for turtles, playing with the volleyball, showing skills with soccer and tried to get tan even though the clouds were everywhere. Sounds as a lot of fun, and that’s right.
 
    Afterwords we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center where we explored the origin of Samoa , Aotheiroa, Fiji, Hawaii, Tahiti & Tonga. It was really interesting! We finished our afternoon with a huge buffet. On the way back, Freddy showed us the video of the West Coast Trip of last year. We’re also getting a great video of our Hawaii trip! After we arrived we heard about the sad news of probably the biggest storm of the year that will start this night, but anyways we’ll enjoy and make the best of it!
