Death Wave

One day I was in North Carolina and went boogie boarding.  I was with all my friends.  It was a cloudy day, the tan sand was smooth. This was the only beach I've ever been to with tide pools!  It was also the cleanest, it was amazing.
As I went in the water I thought about how warm it was.  I might as well been taking a bath it was that warm.  I had never  went  boogie boarding before so I didn’t know how good I was or how to do it at all! The boogie board was a cherry red color.  I was a little nervous. So my dad taught me how.  He taught me by bringing me to a wave and throwing me off like the Hulk!  I turned out to be pretty good!  So I wanted to go out more so we did.  But I tried a new scale of wave and then… CRASH! The wave hit me and it fell on me like a million hammers pounding on a bent nail.  I swam as hard as I could to get a breath of air. I was pretty much helpless. I was hoping I was going to make it.  After I got to shore,  I was blind for  a while, but it wore  off.  I wondered if I was in heaven or  something; but I opened my eyes and it looked exactly the same as before.  ”That's enough boogie boarding for me” I said.
