skimboarding

I threw the board down while the water was still shallow and ran to catch up with it. I then proceeded to jump on it and ride for ten feet before I misplaced my weight. I felt myself sliding to a halt where I fell off. Then I landed on it, I felt its spiny surface digging into my foot. I shortly realized what had happened and swam back to shore. I pulled it out carefully feeling the pain shoot up my leg. I then watched as the sea urchin crawled back into the water. Then I saw it. It was huge. I saw the pale underbelly and the stinger waving behind it. I threw a rock towards it and watched it thrash around. It was a stingray and it was very real.
