This social story by Ms. Molly Shea, a kinesiology/pre-health professions student at Temple University, explains how to surf a wave.

1. How To Surf A Wave

2. Riding waves with my friends is fun!

3. First I need a surfboard and leash

4. I need to put the leash on my ankle and
go in the ocean

5. When I am in the water, I will lay on my
surfboard, on my stomach.

6. I will then begin to paddle further out in
the ocean

7. I will now sit on my board and look for a
good wave!

8. When I see a good wave I will begin to
paddle back toward the shore

9. When I feel the wave pushing me I push
on my board with my hands and start to
stand up

10. I will quickly pull my knees to my chest
and stand up!

11. Now ride the wave!
