Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Any More

If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I am one of the few girls who would   21  : surfing(冲浪运动). But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people  　22　　 . 　Most certainly not.

I started surfing about five years ago and   23  in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding the first   24   was the best feeling I had ever experienced.

When I try to   25   surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my   2—___26   , there’s nothing like it. It involves(牵涉到) body and  27  . There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt   28  all around us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing   29   that water, becoming one with the   30  , is like I’m weightless.

The one thing I can   31   from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean  32  an too many kinds of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive(活跃有力的) and   33 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it   34   from any other sport.

I’ve    35   to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new   36  , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start   37 __the limits of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰)?

There’re women   38   side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys   39  the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to   40  , and they will.
