The theme presented here is man vs nature. This is shown with the quote "fierce breaker" as it shows us that the sea (nature) is dominating man (the surfers) so that they cant enter/ compete in the surfing sport.

secondly, The writer uses a simile to suggest the number of heads bobbing in and out. "number of heads bobbing out like corks in smooth water". The adjective "corks" portrays that the surfers cannot handle the fierceness that the sea is throwing at them which causes them to laydown and surrender.

Thirdly, The writer uses an adverb to show us that the surfers are amazing at riding the sea. "rode in majestically". The adjective "majestically" tells us that the surfers consider themselves the king of the sea so they are all Neptune and control the will of the sea.

Both writers have a positive view on surfing, however in source A Doyle is more appreciative of the sport whereas in Source B Bird is more weary of surfing.

Firstly the writer of source A recalls how as a young boy he was "dazzled" by the spectacle of surfing. He uses a metaphor to describe the "bronzed gods" which suggests that he loved to see people surfing which is how he got into the sport. However Bird enjoys the spectacle of surfing but is content to remain a spectator. "I held my breath in terror" here she uses first person to emphasise the shock and also the excitement of surfing. The verb "terror" suggests that because she has never seen the sport before she does not know what to expect, which is the complete opposite to Doyle in source A.

secondly, both sources describe the material that is needed to create the surf boards. In source B Bird informs us how she feels about the surf boards ."coffin lid" this tells us that she feels as if surfing is a bringer of death. she also gives us a religious aspect to surfing as she states " a wood from the native breadfruit tree, then blessed in a simple ritual".

the writer uses language to to describe the sea and surfers by using a simile such as "number of heads bobbing like corks" this suggests that the sea was not smooth it was uneven and up and down therefore the surfers were floating on bumpy seas.

the writer desribes the sea by using the quote "fierce breaker" to show that the sea is powerful. the word firece describes the sea as being strong and quite controlling, which suggests that not everyone can take on the see unless your a professional surfer.

Secondly, in source A Mike views the surfers as “bronzed gods” he has an optimistic view as he himself wants to participate in the sport.  Mike is more interested in doing the actual sport as he fell in love with it when he went to “Manhattan pier” as a young boy, this shows that he’s been growing up with the dream of predicating “I was just dazzled” in the godly sport, However in source B Isabella has a very mellow tone view towards the surfers as she’s observing the sport where she is very relaxed and doesn’t have the urge to patriciate in the daring sport.

Doyle enjoys to take part in the surfing "I managed to paddle" where as Bird is spectating which has an entertaining tone. Bird describes the surfers as "legions" seeing them as an army which is coordinated whereas in source A it only a small amount of surfers which are riding randomly  "some dozen".

# data[].attributes.body
Both sources enjoy the sport surfing and both have a positive attitude towards surfing, However they both have different views. In sources A the writer wants to join in but, In source B the writer is a spectator.

In source A the writer is more describing the surfers. The metaphor "bronzed gods" implies that you have to be look like a god to surfer. "Gods" suggests that the surfers control the sea and are invincible. However, in source B the writer is more describing the sea. The adjective "verge of engulfment" implies that the sea is hunting the surfers and trying to swallow the surfers. The word "engulfment" suggests the sea is going to cover the surfers.

In source A the writer is talking about how he has learning how to surf. "completely panicked" this suggests that he is in expedients and doesn't know what to do next. the word "panicked" implies that he is scared of what is going to happen next. However, in source B the writer is looking forward to watch the show. "Grand display" suggests that the professionals are going out to surf. the word "grand" implies that the surfers are going to put on a  impressive display.

In source A the writer is very keen to go to the beach when ever he can. "As much time as I'd spent at the beach" this suggests that the young boy is in love with the sport surfing. "I'd spent" the writer has put this is the first person to show us it is close to his heart.

both writers have postive view about the surfers and the sea
whereas in source A Mike Doyle
is so much intrested in surfing whereas in source B it is just sitting back and watching the sport and not really appealing. in source B in lines 24 sliding off their board this shows that isabella is enjoying the sport.
however in source A Mike Doyle wants to take part in the sport in order to become a professional surfer you need to be fit, fearless, you need to be able

# data[].attributes.body
both sources like the activity however as there are born in different times so how surfing is done differently

# data[].attributes.body
The writer uses adjectives to describe the sea "As the waves speeds on, and the bottom strikes the ground, the top breaks into a huge comer. This is showing how violent the see really is.
The writer also describes the surfers

# data[].attributes.body
Both sources are similar ....

# data[].attributes.body
source A tells us that the boards are "much lighter and much better balsa wood boards were just starting to appear" inferring that they are developing better ways to surf. In source B however they tell us that the boards are from the "Native breadfruit tree" and are "blessed in a simple ritual" which gives us a religious aspect. surfing is apart of the culture heritage of Hawaii which is why they stick to traditional and custom surrounding the boards whereas in California, surfing is a competitive sport so people want to develop better boards to give them an edge.
Also their detailed descriptions of each board are different. In source A Doyle tells us that the boards were "11 feet long, 24 inches wide and weighed 50 or 60 pounds" the fact that he used measurements shows us that he takes pride in knowing everything about the boards and knows the exact measurements. wheres as in source B Bird says "about two feet broad and from six to nine feet long" this tells us that she doesn't know anything about surfing and is just giving an estimate. which shows how different the sources are.
