Surfer Babe
I had my first taste of surfing at Evans Head. Three of us rose early and made our way to the beach at 8.30am to meet our two surfing instructors. Go here to find out more about lessons.
They were two very young and hunky Aussie lads in their early 20s. One very blond, the other very tan, buff and bronze. He was later nicknamed the "hunk" by M, one of my closest teammates. Haha.
Before the practical part, we were given some theory lesson on how to look out for rips, waves, tides and currents.
And then we had to practice some technique on land. Of course, it was all very well and good on land. Haha. That's me on the extreme right.
I then headed into the waters and looked out for waves and rips with the hunk by my side. He really was quite gorgeous I must say. :p
And here I go!
I managed to stand a few times but not without first falling a million times! It definitely takes a lot of practice but nonetheless heaps of fun as you ride the waves!
Ooh, I LOVE the beaches in Australia!
