My group's lesson was at 7am this morning, so had to get up super early again. Turns out we did an hour of watching back videos of us surfing the other day - all extremely useful and interesting stuff, but it's just so difficult to think about it when in the water and actually try to pull it off.. I'm still having the issues with where my arms are and how to compress my body form bottom turn to top turn. We then went to Mulawarra and there were great waves. Ave...

I've had a really good day today. Our lesson was at 9:30 so I got a lay in this morning, which is always a good start to the day here! There was barely any swell around what so ever so we had to go to Mulawarra. Got to the beach and it looked tiny so wasn't expecting much, especially when I saw Joya and Paul had ditched their short boards for academy long boards. Having paddled out though there were some really fun 1/1.5ft sets coming through breaking really wel...

Not all that much to report today - our lesson was at 7am so I set my alarm for 6:15am, then fell back asleep until Paul woke me as they were off to the beach. Scoffed breakfast and met them at Mulawarra. Surf was actually quite fun, one of the best sessions on my board so far. It was about 2ft and reasonably clean. Still trying to get to grips with all the arm movements etc when doing turns, made more difficult in small mushy waves. Spent ages after the lesson ...

Got locked out my room last night so had to sleep in one of the others, and some how managed to sleep in the bed with the worlds worst mattress. Probably got about 3 hours sleep and then everyone started to move around so I got up, had breakfast and went for a surf. Still getting used to the new board which is frustrating, especially as the surf was a bit lumpy and horrible. Just waiting around for lunch now Byro can't imagine anything interesting will happen to...

So I'm writing this a day late so will probably forget stuff - I got up in the morning and the surf wasnt that great so decided I would chill out and hope the ribs get completely fixed. Then one of the lessons with about 30 people in only had 2 instructors so I jumped in at the deep end and started my 'work experience' hours by helping with the lesson. I really enjoyed it, it was great fun! Its great to help people out and see them improving due to your help. I ...
