One day,while I was traveling around Thailand last year, I had a really noteworthy experience. I wanted to try ride a horse, so I went to the stable and rent horses. At first, it was easy, but after a while the waves started getting much bigger. At that point I decided to go back to shore, but suddenly a huge wave broke right on top of me. I was underwater for what seemed like hours. By that time I was sure I was going to drown. But gradually my board pulled me to the surface. I was able to breathe again! Then some other surfers helped me back to shore. At last I was safe! I was pretty shaken up, but a few day later went out surfing again!
