I'm back from my weekend of surfing.. it was AMAZING! The place we went is called Spot X- it has hostels, campground, cabins and teepees. The beach is gorgeous, really big and had great beginner waves.
We got a bus from Brisbane on Friday night and got there late Friday. Our surf lessons were Saturday morning and afternoon and Sunday morning. Surfing reallllyyy takes it out of you; between the waves, the sun, getting thrown around and trying to actually surf- it's definitely a good workout.
On Sunday I managed to catch a few unbroken waves which was really exciting! To learn you start on the broken waves, the white part and then you move up to the more green, unbroken waves. It's hard to judge the waves sometimes and a few times they broke on top of me, or made me nose dive and spun around in the wave. Nothing wakes you up better than a few nose dives into the ocean.
Saturday night there was a big party, the theme was Gender Bender- the boys had a great time putting on make up and dresses... reminded me of theme dinners at camp. There was also a great live band that played during the night. It was a lot of fun.
The weather was GORGEEOUSSS! The forecast wasn't great but it was hot and sunny all weekend. It was a nice change from the rain that has been around for the last few days.
The surf school took a whole bunch of pictures and I some but the way it works is you go online and look at them all and then chose the ones you want. There are a lot of pictures to go through so I wont have them up for a while.
Sharpie flies into Brisbane today! I'm looking forward to the second half of my trip with company! It's another sunny, beautiful day- I hope it stays like that for the rest of the trip! :D
