Introduction I am obsessed with tubing. Before anyone asks, I mean tubing on water not on snow. Though snow is water and I love tubing on snow as well, but this is dealing with water tubing not snow tubing. I adore tubing to the point that I have been tubing since I was 4 years old. Along the way I enjoyed learning many things. Like the best equipment for tubing. Plus good tips and tricks for staying on the tube so everybody is not losing their pants (I mean it literally and figuratively which has happened to me). Along with the personal laws and real laws of tubing. Equipment Before anybody can even start tubing, you need the correct equipment. If someone doesn’t own the correct equipment the experience will not be as exhilarating. When …show more content…
This rule is more focusing on the woman and not the males. Woman, wear either a 1 piece swimsuit or a good fitting 2 piece otherwise there will be regret in someone’s life later. Men, I suggest a swimsuit that fits well or can be tightened to fit well otherwise it will end as bad as it did for the woman. Speaking from experience it is not fun to lose your pant while tubing. I will tell everyone my lesson learning experience of when I lost my pants tubing. I was tubing like I do every weekend. I was in the Top Dog trying to keep my balance when we hit a wave and I fell off the back, but I did not let go I just sat there being dragged by the tube not realizing my impending doom. When I let go and I'm sitting in the water waiting to be picked up by the boat I realized that my swim shorts were not on my waist or my ankles. It was then I realized that my pants had fallen off when getting dragged. When they came to pick me up I had to yell I lost my pants. I was on a boat with my four guy friends and their dad. To this day they have still not allowed me to live that down. Now every time I go tubing they are always like don’t lose your pants Morganne. That entire day made me more prepared and more experienced for any pants losing
At 15, I was at the YMCA one Saturday when my father stopped by. He was drunk. He tried to play a game of pool with me and ripped the table covering with his cue stick. Many of my friends were watching. I didn't return to the Y for a month.
One day my father and grandpa went fishing but I wanted to go with them, but I had no experience, they would not teach me, and they were going to leave in 3 hours. Before trying to convince my father and grandfather again I talked to my mother and for some reason she knew how to fish so she taught me some basic skills. After the small training session there was about 5 minutes left and my father and grandfather were checking for any hideaways in the car. As they were doing a final check I sneaked in with a fishing rod and a cap and lay inside the car speechless. At the fishing spot, my father and grandfather unloaded their supplies and I fell onto the dirt floor, when they discovered I stowed away they were mad but I told my father and grandpa that I wanted to go fishing with them and they accepted my
It was at Cline Elementary in the 2nd grade during recess when I saw two boys walking towards me. I knew that one of the boys were named Nick and the other was his cousin. At the time, I knew exactly what they were going to do, and I was right. "So, how are you and your disgusting boyfriend.", he sneered. This was everyday of my life, "He's not my boyfriend!", I fired back, "We're just friends." Back and forth we spat out venomous comments to each other.
It was almost midnight on a school night during my freshman year of high school and I had just laid down in bed after getting
Safety is the number one concern with any water sport. In May, the U.S. Coast Guard released its Recreational Boating Statistics, which revealed 701 boating fatalities nationwide in 2016 (Coast Guard). Alcohol
In recreational scuba diving there is a laundry list of available equipment to fit nearly every underwater need. One of the most important pieces of equipment a recreational diver uses is the BCD or buoyancy control device. The BCD is an adjustable inflation vest worn by a diver to increase or decrease their buoyancy during a dive. The BCD is hooked to the regulator or “Octopus” which serves as a junction point for air accessories. The BCD usually comes complete with safety features like an emergency dump valve. Safety features like these help to prevent BCD malfunctions, such as runaway accents, by allowing the diver to release the air out of the vest. Attached to the regulator along with the BCD are air pressure gauges and two breathing apparatuses. One breathing apparatus is used for normal breathing function and the other is set in a known location in the case of an emergency or disorientation. Recreational divers also have a choice between wearing a neoprene wet suit, which keeps a diver warm by retaining a layer of water next to the body, or dry suits that use a layer of air for buoy...
Then after I jumped of the bike I remember that I barely made it onto the slip and slide. Then I heard my brothers laughing at me cause I guess they thought it was funny how I fell onto the slip and slide. I was laughing and screaming after I was done I guess that I learned how to be brave with them. Which I thought it was fun when we played boy games as my aunts told me that I had to play with dolls and girl games. But my dad and my uncles always supported me they said don’t listen to them you can play whatever you want.
'' Not everybody goes on scary rides like roller coasters, or comes back a second time if they try it,'' Dr. Farley said. '' It's those with the thrill-seeking personality who come back again and again. They like adventure, like high diving and hang gliding.'' Once a thrill seeker finds a new stunt or activity that gives him or her a better adrenalin rush they will be addicted to that activity and want to do it over and over.
One thing that I'm not proud to admit, is that I've peed my pants in class, three different times, during my second grade school year. I'm not proud of those moments, because I was either seven or eight years old, and kids that age usually don't wet themselves. Surprisingly, I wasn't the only student in my grade to pee their pants in class at that school, there were several other students in my class/grade, who also couldn't hold it in any longer. Honestly, I still to this day, blame my second grade teacher for my accidents, I always had to hold it, because every time that I'd ask her for permission to go to the restroom, she's snap at me and reply immediately with a "no", so I began to be afraid of asking her for permission, so I'd just try to hold it, and than it'd slip every now and then. The funny thing about it, was how I was so relieved after I noticed that other students were having the same issue, I was literally feeling so relieved, because I didn't have to be known as the only student from that class to have that embarrassing moment.
2. Never swim alone or in unsupervised places. Teach your children to always swim with a buddy.
When everybody left to get cake, I had to clean up the swimming toys. Because one toy was in the middle of the deep end of the pool, I dived into the water. I picked it up and tried to swim up. My hair was stuck to the ladder! I didn’t know what to do! Running out of oxygen, I tried to yell for help.
The first thing that occurred during our class meeting was the guides explaining the safety and precaution. The guides emphasized how to load the canoe properly in the water by holding the gunwale to avoid capsizing into the river. Next, they explained the proper technique for paddling and the proper use of the life vest. Following these safety measures and executing the proper technique will enable the canoe to stay on course. Upon returning to the dock, one of my classmates asked me to take their picture paddling the canoe. Unfortunately, my classmate stood up, which caused the canoe to capsize with both participants on board. After checking on their well-being and confirming that they were safe, the whole class enjoyed a good laugh at their
Well, that time arrived when Dad was taking me, and nothing was going to hold me back. I watched Dad approach me as he returned from a blue and white hire tent with a long (well what seemed long at the time), bright yellow foam board. It had a small white fin sticking out its rear. We stayed shallow and like any impatient 5 year old I began to suffer from frustration as I continuously nose dived into the sand at my efforts to stand up.
It was Friday morning and I was in the 5th grade at the time. My father decided to pull both me and my brother out of school. My mother wasn’t home. She had already gone up to the hospital with my grandmother.
Throughout my life I have had so many embarrassing moments. The most embarrassing moment that will always come to mind is being chased by the game warden. I have had some close encounters with the game warden, but never this close before. The last time I was forced to call my parents to explain the whole entire night. Being in this situation most teen-agers would consider it to be a bad night, but for me it was more of a long embarrassing night. When the game warden was chasing me I felt scared, nervous as well as embarrassed knowing this night might not turn out to my advantage.
