On Thursday it is bacon big water beat down Thursday. We had to surf at least one wave or hole without a paddle. I decided to surf phil's hole without my paddle because hand surfing is one of the best ways to get beat down. This is because it is harder to keep control and it is more intimidating because you need to roll up with out your paddle. I was having a good beat down, getting some windowshades- it is so easy to window shade when getting beat down on Thursday- I was mostly in control, but would drop my edge to have it look worse than it really was to try and win beatdown of the week. I don't think I was that close to winning though. I did one surf with a paddle to but it was not nearly as good of a beat down as it was way too easy to stay in control but it was just as fun.
In the afternoon, we returned to the McCoy rapids. We decided it would be a good idea to take a watercraft made out of cardboard boxes into phills with a guy here named Frank. He made it to phills and then came out full of water and swam but it could of ended a lot worse. The hardest part was having to paddle the cardboard board back to Keenerville because it pretty melted in the water. Luckily, we had people to help pick up the pieces.
