這個暑假真的是一歹到機會就趕快出去玩個幾天
因為九月份開始就要上全職的朝九晚五的班啦 XDDD
上班真的好累喔..不能偷懶
tofino 的著名紫色海灘真的好漂亮!
而且因為心想...提到 tofino 就會想到衝浪
於是第一次去 tofino 就嘗試了 surfing!
衝浪真的是一個蠻危險的運動...因為要跟海浪搏鬥
三個小時的課
除了一開始花了些時間穿上臭臭又很厚的衝浪衣 + 鞋子以外
花了一小時在海灘上, to learn about waves
- which direction it will take you further/away from the shoreline
- make note of the surrounding landmarks incase you get washed away
- how to escape from rip-current
- how to protect yourself when falling off the boards (real surf board is made out of wood and it's fin is made out of metal, 所以在海裡翻滾時一定要雙手抱住頭 + 用手鐲保護臉)
- why only one person can ride a wave at a time
初學著的話一開始是騎 Party Wave, meaning several ppl can ride on the wave at the same time (party time!! XD)
等真正下海的時候....一開始要克服大浪迎面而來的恐懼
(the wave is really strong... it can still push me back eventhough my feet are touching the ground)
surfing 手的臂力要很強
因為手要不停用力的滑.."paddle harder...paddle like you mean it...YOU WANT to ride the wave!"
而當你騎在浪上的時候
要靠臂力馬上把身體撐到站起來
三個小時的課只有成功站起來兩次 (不到兩秒) 就又滾入大海裡
最後衝完後感覺喝了一公升的鹹水
(早餐喝的甜伯爵奶茶在肚裡翻滾後..覺得變鹹的了 Orz)
這三天的行程:
1. Tropical Rain Forest @ Pacific Rim
2. Sand Dollar B&B - 有自己的的廚房, 房間很舒適~ 有趣的是...竟然是一對 Slovakia 的夫妻開的 XD...這次去完歐洲後很奇妙的碰到很多 Slovakia 的人
3. Surfing @ Pacific Surf School
4. whale watching: saw orcas and gray whales
5. cooking fresh crabs for dinner(3 for $30) + eating raw oysters (99cent each)
6. Cathedral Grove (MacMillan Provincial Park): over eight-hundred years old 神木..比 pisa 鐵塔還要高
7. Coombs Country Candy: 他家的 camarmel popcorn 超好吃的!!! 濃濃的奶香
8. old country market @ coombs: 說真的...沒什麼好玩的耶 XDD
9. Back to Nanaimo under 36 degree sun: saw two seals at Nanimo Harbour (牠們游到手可以摸到的距離...等著釣螃蟹客拿新鮮 salmon 魚餌給牠們吃 XDD)
