It was a hot Saturday in early July. The water and sky were blue in the afternoon sun and there were some big waves for the surfers. A lot of them were in the sea. Nick was there, too. He sat on his surfboard and waited for a good wave. A big wave came – Nick started to swim strongly. His board moved quickly with the wave and Nick stood up on it. He was a very good surfer. There were many Australians on the beach for the surfing competition. Nick wanted to win the competition. One of the surfers was a tall girl with long dark hair – Janelle. She watched Nick and then looked at one of the boys with her. “What do you think of him Mike?” Mike smiled. “He is very good and it is a strong wave. It will be difficult to beat him in the competition.” The second boy, Brian was very small with long hair and cold blue eyes. Janelle was his girlfriend. “We can beat him easily,” Brian said. He is only good because he knows the beach here. I can surf well on every beach. I want to catch some waves.” He walked down to the sea.
