The surfing champion who learned from the merman [rebirth]

Iceland's black sand beach is a world famous place.

Under the sun, the white waves rushed from the sea far away, rolling up the black sand and gravel, forming a sharp contrast.

The black on the beach is a pure black.

With reefs of the same color, cliffs, and black water reflected by black sand.

At first glance, it feels like entering devil's territory.

In fact, it was not the first time Shiman had seen a black sand beach, but the black sand beach in Iceland made him feel a little mysterious and profound.

Especially when he stepped on it with both feet, it wouldn't be stained with black.

The fine black sand sank his feet into it, and the tactile sensation made him unforgettable.

Iceland's weather can be unpredictable, and surfing here is a completely different experience than surfing in the tropics.

First of all, you can't wear simple swimming trunks like surfing in the tropics, but you need a fully armed and warm wetsuit.

"Warm up first." Yu Ruo said, looking at a planned piece of land on the beach.

"Yeah." Shi Man took off his coat, and then moved his body to try to sweat a little.

The staff on the beach wear thick coats, even in summer in places like Iceland, because the climate here is still in the polar circle.

So it means that athletes can't be topless like surfing in the tropics, but need to wear warm and fully armed diving suits to surf.

For this, Yu Ruo is quite satisfied.

He hates surfing with his upper body exposed all the time, and always feels like he is being watched.

Especially seeing those eyes fixed on the wet fronts and tight buttocks.

Shi Man didn't care much about these.

Doesn't he think that's what surfing is all about?

After the basic warm-up, the young man walked towards the sea with his surfboard in his arms.

After his calf touched the icy sea water, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

At this temperature, you need to get used to it before you can go into the water.

Suddenly, a splash of water hit the face.

Shi Man was in a state of distraction when he was hit in the face by a spray of water.

Ying Yuhua's voice sounded: "Shi Man, are you here to test the waves?"

Shi Man wiped off the water from his face, and looked up.

The other party was grabbing a surfboard and getting up from the water.

Ying Yuhua seems to have been practicing here for a while, her hair and body are all wet.

"Are you finished?" Shi Man asked.

"Well." Ying Yuhua nodded, and exchanged experience with Shiman: "The wind here is a bit strong, and the height and density of the waves are much stronger than our base, especially the waves are very strong. I just I was photographed twice by the waves."

"Twice?" Shi Man was a little surprised.

Although Ying Yuhua's technique is a bit immature, it's pretty good overall.

He didn't expect that such a big problem could be discovered just by testing the waves.

"I heard there will be a flood tomorrow." Ying Yuhua revealed all the information he knew: "And there will be a lot of tides."

"The greater the tide, the better the effect of the waves will be." Shi Man did not take this seriously.

"Actually, I'm not used to the temperature of the sea water here." Ying Yuhua frowned: "You have to pay more attention."

He was originally from the south, and he was used to the warm and tropical climate, but he was still not used to this kind of icy sea water.

"what happened?"

Ying Yuhua clicked his tongue twice, and said, "When I first got into the water, I had cramp because of insufficient preparation."

"I know this." Shi Man nodded, expressing that he knew these things.

In fact, he doesn't care much about the temperature.

From childhood to adulthood, his father often let him go for winter swimming in order to train him, and took him to cross the Yangtze River almost every year.

Over time, Shiman's requirements for water temperature are not so high.

"I see there are kite surfers over there." Shi Man pointed to the kite not far away and said.

Kitesurfing is also a system of surfing.

Surfers need to surf according to the strength of the kite.

But this sport is a test of wind direction and wind power, and it is also a sport that depends on God's mood.

"Kite surfing shouldn't be in the same place as us." Ying Yuhua waved his hand and said, "I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going to take a rest."

After Shi Man said goodbye to Ying Yuhua, he set his sights on the sea.

On the black sea surface, the figures undulating with the waves are also particularly eye-catching, and there are quite a few of them in Huaguo red surfing suits.

Even if the players of the Huaguo surfing team did not participate in the competition, they came to feel the waves that belong to Iceland.

However, Shi Man did not find Ji Du among the athletes who came to test the waves.

This discovery made Shiman a little surprised, he didn't know what this guy Ji Du was doing recently.

Recently, in order to hear about the system missions, Shiman has always deliberately moved to Ji Du's side during training.

However, he did not hear the familiar electronic sound.

Shi Man shook the surfboard on his hand and walked towards the middle of the sea.

The feeling here is indeed completely different from that in Sanwan City, especially when the sea breeze rolls up a wave of waves and hits me, the strength and temperature are different.

Even when I accidentally eat sea water, I feel different.

The young man came to the center of the sea with a surfboard, waiting for suitable waves.

After a while, Shi Man saw a row of waves coming towards him from not far away.

He quickly lay on the surfboard, and slowly started to get up with the waves.

Taking off is a very important thing, the more stable the better.

He put his arms on the surfboard and jumped up when he felt his center of gravity stabilized.

The action is clean and neat, not sloppy at all.

Shi Man stepped on the surfboard, looking at the black sea in front of him.

In fact, the sea is not black, it is still blue when you look at it carefully.

Especially the sea surface in the distance is gradually returning to a beautiful dark blue.

But because the sea water is too clear, the black sand and stones make this place particularly dazzling.

With a slight effort in his calf, he turned the direction of the surfboard and made a Carve side turn at the shoulder of the wave.

The white waves bloomed behind the young man, forming a sharp contrast with the black sea surface.

The waves are beautiful and so is the scenery here.

Shi Man looked at the sea surface and was slightly distracted. He was thinking about other issues: what kind of combination moves should be used in the competition.

The surfing championship is divided into two competitions, the preliminary round and the semi-final round, and each time requires three surfing rounds.

So this means that you have to prepare six combined movements.

Although the world championships do not require each surfing action to be used differently.

But for the sake of safety and for the average score, most players will choose at least four or so combined actions.

The originally calm waves suddenly experienced large-scale fluctuations, sweeping Shiman down.

The sea calmed down again.

Yu Ruo, who was standing on the shore watching, her pupils tightened and her heart stopped in shock.

He stood up suddenly, not even thinking about rushing to the surface of the sea.

Yu Ruo was a little worried. He was afraid that it was Hai Jue who had tampered with the sea.

And in the sea, no matter how familiar with water, human beings are no match for mermaids.

Just when Yu Ruo was about to jump into the sea, a familiar head emerged from the sea.

Yu Ruo, who had just taken off half of her coat, met the other's eyes, and was slightly taken aback.

The young man raised his eyebrows: "Why are you taking off your coat?"

"Uh." Yu Ruo hesitated and said, "I think you may be in danger if you fall into the sea."

"What danger could it be?" Shi Man stood up in the water as he spoke, shaking the black sand on the surfboard.

The test waves are all in shallow waters, so what danger can there be?

Besides, there are professional lifeguards on site, even if there is danger, there is no need for Yu Ruo to jump down to save people himself.

"Let's go to the RV to have a rest first?" Yu Ruo suggested.

"The car is coming?" After Shi Man finished speaking, he looked up at the coast.

Parked there was a familiar large RV with gold trim and stripes.

And the large XGAME logo is inlaid on the body, showing several different flavors.

Shi Man took the towel handed over by Yu Ruo, and wiped his body: "I need to soak in the sea water again to get used to it. Why don't you go back first?"

Yu Ruo looked at Shiman and said, "I'll go to the caravan first to prepare food for you. You can come up directly after training."

Shi Man nodded, seeing Yu Ruo leaving, he hugged the surfboard and prepared to go into the water again.

At this time, the white player next to him suddenly winked at Shi Man and said, "Chink?"

The original meaning of chink is a gap, and it is used to describe the small eyes of Chinese people in places where Caucasians gather.

This is very insulting, provocative language, comparable to 'Nigger' for black people.

Shi Man clenched his lower lip, looking at the white contestant with icy cold eyes.

But the other party didn't stop, but continued to mock: "Where's your braid?"

Shi Man stopped and looked directly at the other party: "Hasn't your country taught you respect?"

The other party was even more mocking: "Respect? I only respect the strong. I can't respect you weak Chinks at all. It's the same even if XGAME signed a contract with you."

Only when he heard the other party say XGAME did Shiman know why this guy suddenly came to provoke him.

XGAME is very popular in the world, especially in the flag country where athletes are scrambling to cooperate with the company.

The colored person in front of him should be because he saw XGAME sign a contract with him, and his jealousy made the other party completely different.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this person is inherently racist.

Shi Man snorted and said, "You still want to sign a contract with XGAME?"

"XGAME only signed you for the Huaguo market, and you..." the white player hissed twice, and said proudly and mockingly: "My name is Maltz, this time I will let you know what real surfing is. "

Because of the voices of the two, many players gathered nearby.

After Maltz declared himself, players from other countries all let out bursts of exclamation.

Maltz, the main player of Maple Leaf Country, has been ranked in the top ten in the world at the same time.

Everyone knows that he really wants to sign with XGAME, but he has not been favored by XGAME.

This time XGAME not only signed a young Huaguo athlete, but Twitter, Weibo and other social platforms are full of publicity for the newly signed athlete.

Although they knew it was due to the normal publicity process, many people were secretly jealous.

What is so extraordinary about this player that he can be recognized by XGAME.

Jealousy changes people beyond recognition.

Maltz, in particular, came up with some ideas after knowing that the other party was participating in the same game as him.

He wants XGAME to see what kind of weak chicken he signed.

That's why Maltz used insulting language to satirize the opponent before the game started, trying to pre-empt the psychological tactics.

Shi Man raised his eyebrows and replied, "Then we'll see you on the field."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the shore, not paying attention to the discussions behind him.

It's okay, let this arrogant guy know what real surfing is.

No. The 18th World Surfing Championships officially kicked off.
