When I first held the board, I doubted whether I could do it. But my burning determination made me forget my age. And being accompanied by a young, energetic instructor made my doubts disappear instantly. Every time I fell, the instructor laughed softly, but my spirit never faded. Sometimes he explained how to keep my body balanced, and he didn’t just explain—he also demonstrated it directly. From that moment, my determination grew stronger. No matter what, I had to try. I lay on the board. When the wave came, I slowly lifted myself up. When I finally managed to stand and keep my balance, I heard cheers from behind: “Hooray! Hu hu hu!!!” accompanied by joyful applause. I couldn’t help but feel happy too—huhuhu!!
