My Ocean Treat

A sunny, breezy, calm day. The crashing of waves, the smell of seaweed, the taste of the salty water. Boogie boarding waves, then running back out of the water.
I run back to my friends and I immediately get a whiff of the delicious lunch. A cardboard fish and chips box is sitting on the beach towel, waiting to be devoured. I sit on the towel, pick up the box, and open it. My mouth waters at the sight of such beautifully grilled barramundi. I take a bite using my fork and the flavours explode in my mouth. I shove a fry in my mouth to accompany the fish.
After I finish eating, I go back into the warm ocean water with my family, trying to ride the best waves. The ocean rocks gently beneath me. While I'm enjoying the moment, a big wave washes me off my board. I squeal in surprise and water got in my nose and mouth. I cough it out, getting rid of the salty taste in my mouth. I look around, but as the water was bobbing I got water in my eye too. I fought through the sting, desperate to find my precious blue boogie board. I saw it floating a few metres away, and I rushed to it to save it. I climbed onto my board again and this time no wave came. It was perfect.
