Body Surfing Sea Lions

May 20, 2009 - Posted by Lee Welles-author

Via this super slow-motion technology, it is easy to see how creatures such as sea lions (and dolphins and humans) can ride the energy of a wave coming to shore!

I love to body surf and that is why I talk about it in Gaia Girls Way of Water! Have you ever ridden the waves?

    Wow! That was so cool! It was so amazing that a creature can ride the waves and swim like this and to think that they have nothing except their body construction to help them! Yes, I have ridden the waves, I go to this little beach in Long Island where my grammy lives a lot and last year their was supposed to be this huge storm and the waves were HUGE! My dad dove in them and body surfed it was amazing! There is the beach called Patchouge that we also go to. That one is fun. I don’t like the beaches that have lifegaurds and the lines sepperating the parts where you can’t swim and where you can. That is why I do not like to go to Jones Beach or Jersey Shroe.

    I miss the ocean. I used to live in Hermosa Beach, CA. I couldn’t see the ocean from my house, but I could hear it all night long. I went to the water every day. Of course,the walk in the woods I took today was quite nice too.
