Question

3. - READ THE BIOGRAPHY OF A SURFER.


Surfing is an extreme sport. This activity is practiced in many places in the world. The most popular contests are in California and Hawaii. There are also some tournaments in Europe.

“Nothing is impossible, you set your own limits”, said Carmen Lopez, a blind surfer. Carmen is from Asturias, Spain, and she lost her sight because she had glaucoma. It is when the blood pressure in the eye is not normal, and it causes the patient to lose their sight.


Carmen is a great student and a talented surfer, but she likes swimming too. Her day starts at the Salinas beach in Oviedo, Spain. After she has lunch, she does school stuff. She studies online at home, so she doesn’t go to conventional schools. In the evening, she usually works out at the gym, but what she enjoys the most is training at the beach with her coach, Lucas.

Carmen says that Lucas is her eyes to see the sea. They’re an amazing team, so they created a whistling system to communicate. When the wave is on the right, he whistles once, and when it’s on the left, he whistles twice. In that way, Carmen knows where to move.

Carmen has won some competitions in Europe and America. When she travels to other cities, she enjoys meeting knew people and trying new food.

In 2018, she won the fourth place in the Adaptive Surfing Championship in California. She was happy for this achievement, and now, her biggest dream is to participate in the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris.
