My Blue Heaven

Back to the Real WorldTM

Got back from surf camp today. Two things. I had an absolutely awesome time up there. Coming back to Sydney sucks.

Some highlights for me:

• learning to surf (and actually being able to stand up fairly well… whilst catching the white-wash anyway)
• getting absolutely pummelled by nose-diving when trying to surf the larger unbroken waves
• spending hours battling to get out and getting absolutely nowhere coz I wasn’t in the right part of the surf
• having incredibly sore arms the next day from carrying the surf board up the beach and from paddling out – I can barely lift my arms now
• having an even sorer butt from chaffing from my boardies…. OUCHIE! 🙁
• getting really really REALLY tanned (man, I don’t look chinese anymore!)
• taking in the beautiful scenery of the area – I am in love with the Great Lakes… esp Wallis Lake (the sunsets over the lake were absolutely breath-taking) and Seal Rocks beach.. in fact all the beaches in that area. I now understand why people say Sydney beaches suck!
• learning surfie talk… Sweeeeeet! WoooooooOooooooo!! 😛

I think thats most of it so far. I took a few photos whilst up there… which I’ll put up later. And I got some photos that were taken by the instructors of us surfing. Apparently there are a few good ones of me. 🙂

So anyway.. I really wanna do it again! Maybe I’ll try some of the surf schools in Sydney. Or perhaps I’ll get more into body boarding (gonna have to buy myself a decent body board first.. Cha-Ching!) In any case, I’m definitely keen to get out in the surf more often… I think I’m hooked! Plus its really really good exercise!! My arms haven’t been this sore in a loooong time.

Well.. its off to bedfordshire for me. Nighty night.
