Surfing and Shouka

Today I went body surfing with my besto Zoe!! :) We had great fun and took pictures of ourselves underwater (I hope to post them a little later on ;) ) and so on. Funniest moment of the day was me falling off a zipwire in from of everyone. Embarrasing! :$ Anyways, surfing was lots of fun. I surfed on the waves a lot longer than Zoe so... erm... woo! It was so much fun!

In other news in the world of killer whales, I can happily announce that Shouka has arrived at SeaWorld San Diego from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. This is amazing news for me because in all honesty, I think that Shouka was unhappy at Six Flags, what with the fact she had a really small tank and was ALL ALONE, with not even a dolphin companion! :( Orcas on their own just isn't right, they are so social! I mean, it was just over a month ago when a video was released of her attacking a trainer during a show. D: But now she's at at SeaWorld with a huge pool complex to swim in and eight other orcas. So over the next couple of weeks, Shouka will be introduced to them orcas and with a bit of luck, she'll find a friend! :) Here's a picture of Shouka been lowered into her tank. It doesn't belong to me, but does belong to CBS8:













More piccies of Shouka being moved to SeaWorld San Diego!! :) I'm so happy! :)



Here, we see Shouka being lowered into the water with lots of SeaWorld trainer gathered round.
