金門也有水上活動?

Meet Ta遇見獺–金門也有水上活動?

When it comes to Kinmen, there are some people who think that Kinmen is not fun, but we don't think so. Kinmen has battlefield scenery and historical relics, it is very distinctive. After experiencing body board, we also found it very interesting and believed that Kinmen has the conditions to develop and promote water sports. We hope that this sport can become a leisure activity for locals so that Kinmen's Tourism Bureau or government can value this opportunity. Let Kinmen promote water sports activities and choose suitable and safe waters. Not only does it give tourists more choice to visit Kinmen, but it also attracts more young people to travel to Kinmen. It brings some benefits to sightseeing and shows the special side of Kinmen.

當提到金門，或許有些人會認為金門很無聊，但我們並不這麼認為。金門的戰地風情和歷史遺跡，是非常有特色的。在體驗趴板衝浪後，我們也覺得非常有趣，認為金門具備發展和推廣水上運動的條件。希望這項運動能成為當地人的休閒活動，讓金門政府或觀光局重視這個契機。提倡水上運動，並選擇合適且安全的水域。不僅為來金門旅遊的觀光客帶來更多遊玩的選擇，也吸引了更多的年輕人來金門旅遊。為觀光方面帶來益處，也展現了金門的特別的一面。

『趴板衝浪(Body Board)』

什麼是趴板(Body Board)?不就是趴在浮板上，給浪衝嗎?是的沒錯，它是衝浪的一種，最大的不同點是衝浪者是趴在板上，利用衝浪蛙鞋輔助前進。雖然在大家印象中站在長板上，才叫衝浪。其實趴板衝浪更容易上手、機動力強、樂趣多也不分男女老少!

What is Body Board? Isn't it just lying on a floating board and rushing to the waves? Yes, of course. It is a kind of surfing. Its most different point is that the surfer bends over the board and uses Diving equipment to go ahead. Although in everyone's impression, standing on a longboard is called surfing. Actually, Bodyboard is easier to learn, with strong mobility, and more fun without distinction of age or sex.

2021.10.27 陽光明媚。今日和獺老闆相約后湖。準備體驗期待已久的Body Board.這次的活動很特別，它是金門很少能體驗到的活動。金門海域雖然多，但是很多都不安全。因此，金門水上活動寥寥無幾。很幸運地，能透過獺老闆體驗到新奇的事物。

October 27, 2021, the sun is shining. Today, we meet the boss at Houhu. We are ready to experience the long-awaited Body Board. It is an activity rarely experienced in Kinmen. Although there are many sea areas in Kinmen, many of them are not safe. Therefore, there are very few water activities in Kinmen. Fortunately, we are able to experience novel things through the boss.

后湖海濱公園位於料羅灣西岸，連接成功、尚義、泗湖、歐厝等沙灘，綿延數公里的細緻白沙灘一望無際，是金門最美麗的白色海灣，也是在地人踏浪戲水的著名聖地。

Houhu Seaside Park is located on the west bank of Liuluo Bay. It is connected to Chenggong Beach, Shangyi, Sihu, Ou Cuo Sandy Beach, etc. The fine white sand beaches stretching for several kilometers are endless. It is the most beautiful white bay in Kinmen, and it is also a famous place for local people to walk on the waves and play in the water resort.

首先，熱身運動是最重要的，預防抽筋。接著獺老闆清楚且仔細地講解一切關於趴板的技巧和注意事項。趴板的手繩要確實綁牢於手腕或上臂，這是很重要的，如果發生意外還有浮板可以保命。而在下水前，要先在沙灘上練習板上平衡也要觀察浪況，因為初體驗者適合腰高以下的浪，但還是建議需要專業的教練陪同會更安全。最後在獺老闆仔細的教學之下，大家很快就上手了。

Under the careful guidance of the boss, everyone will get started soon! After all, it is a water activity, and of course, you must know how to swim. First, do a good job of warming up to prevent cramps. There will be a hand rope on the board, which must be tied tightly. This is an important condition for life-saving. Then there is the balance on the board, which is the key to whether you can stay on the board stably. When the wave comes, straighten up your upper body, supported by elbows and forearms, and hold the front end of the board with both hands. Using the white bubble power generated by the waves to move forward with the trend. At this time, the key point is to balance and feel the strength of the waves driving the board. Under the guidance of the boss, the goal of successful board surfing is in front of us.

上半身儘量挺起, 以手肘及前臂支撐, 雙手握緊板子前端, 這時你跟板子接觸到的地方應該只有前臂跟肚皮, 接著順著浪的力量順勢前進, 雙腳也可以試著踢水, 此時重點是平衡及感覺浪帶動板子的力道，順著浪衝向岸邊。

Keep your upper body straight up as much as possible, support it with your elbows and forearms, and hold the front of the board with your hands. At this time, the only place you touch the board should be your forearms and belly, and then follow the power of the wave to move forward, and you can also try to kick your feet. At this time, the focus is to balance and feel the force of the wave driving the board to rush to the shore along with the wave.

從一開始連板子都抓不穩的我們，到後來能自己乘著海浪一同衝向岸邊的那種成就感，和既興奮又激動的心情，實在是難以以文字來形容。雖然結束後覺得意猶未盡，但也認識了這項運動，熟悉了一些技巧，當然也留下了難忘的回憶。第一次體驗趴板衝浪的各位也是收穫滿滿，真的很值得體驗一次，推薦給大家。

It's hard to describe the sense of accomplishment and excitement that we couldn't even grasp the board at the beginning, and then we could rush to the shore together in the waves. Although we feel that we still have more meaning after the end, we also know the sport and become familiar with some skills. Of course, we also leave unforgettable memories. Everyone who has experienced bodyboard for the first time is also very rewarding. It is really worth experiencing and we recommend it to everyone.

從中能發現他是一位非常熱愛大海的男子，平常就很喜灣跟著三五好友一起去從事水上活動。他不僅擁有專業的知識及豐富的經驗，對於推廣金門水上活動也是擁有一股熱情。他希望能在金門的海邊看到更多人在衝浪，讓水上活動成為金門的日常休閒運動，而他正在把這項興趣傳播出去，讓更多人了解其中的樂趣，進而愛上水上活動。

It can be found that he is a man who loves the sea very much. He usually likes to go to water activities with his friends. He not only has professional knowledge and rich experience but also has a passion for promoting Kinmen water activities. He hopes to see more people surfing by the sea in Kinmen and make water activities a daily leisure sport in Kinmen. And he is spreading this interest to let more people know the fun, and then fall in love with water sports.

當這項活動越來越廣為人知時，相信能為金門帶起水上活動熱潮。期許過幾年金門不只擁有歷史遺跡、戰地風情 古蹟民宿、海邊美景等，還有興起的水上活動。那將為金門帶來的益處不僅是吸引更多觀光客的朝聖也會有更多年輕族群的朋友想要來遊玩金門更重要的是當地人的娛樂消遣就多了一項新選擇。

When this activity becomes more and more widely known, we believe it can bring an upsurge of water activities to Kinmen. In a few years' time, it is expected that Kinmen will not only have historical relics, battlefield scenery, and beautiful seaside scenery but also have rising water activities. The benefits that will bring to Kinmen are not only to attract more tourists to the pilgrimage but also to have more young people who want to visit Kinmen. The most important is that there is a new choice for local people's entertainment and pastime.
