AHHH! Big wave. I'm too young to...! I froze as I was under the big wave. I was with my Aunty, Uncle and my sister. We were at Papamoa beach motor camp. We went there because a friend of ours asked us if we would like to borrow their cabin. The cabin was joined onto a caravan, so there was much more room! [thankfully!] So, heres the story. We all woke up and decided that we would go to the beach. We got all our stuff and started to walk down to the beach. Once we got there, the sand was as hot as the sun! The water was really blue and was full of waves. BRRRR! It was freezing once it got to my waist. But I got used to it. After a while, it started to get really windy. So, we were just floating along. Until, I went on my stomach and realized, I was actually quite far away. I tried to stand up but it was too deep. But, not as far as my sister! Man, she was far, far away. It was like she didn't even care that there was a big wave coming right behind her. My Uncle was yelling at my sister ‘trying’ to get her attention to come back but, she couldn't hear. A big wave came and took Christina [my sister] back to shore. My Uncle told my sister to get help but, then he said it was alright. My Uncle and Christina felt so bad that they couldn't help us!
