Hi. I’m Jo. I live near the sea and I love surfing. In the summer, I go surfing with my friends
every weekend. I have a new surfboard. It’s white and red. In the fall I’m fond of kayaking. I
have a kayak, a paddle, and a life jacket. My kayak and my surfboard are in a hut in my yard.
I also go horseback riding but I’m bored with it now. I want to do something new. My friends
go rock climbing but I’m terrified of climbing. I love water sports and there’s a river near my
house. Maybe I can try rafting!
