Just woken up from a night out in cheeky monkeys, the most famous bar in byron, lots of table dancing was involved, to celebrate finishing our surf school, yes thats right i can now sort of surf! The surf school was amazing we started off at the surf camp in seal rocks and the first day was spent learning the basics and standing up on a few white water waves, its preety amazing how quickly they have you standing up. We then went back to the camp and the instructors organised some very embarrasing drinking games, which im not going to go into. The next morning we were all woken up at 7 with some preety hefty hangovers (and that was supposed to be the quite night!) and went straight out to the beach for some more surfing. We started off learning how to paddel out to the back and how to catch unbroken waves. After a couple of goes and some helpful pushes from the instructors i was up and riding the waves to shore! We then had a delicious lunch of toasted steak and cheese sandwiches and went back out for a bit of a muck around on the boards and manageed to spot a pod of dolphins swimming in the water. To relax after a hard days surfing we went to a local pub, which apperently served the best beer in australia and also randomly had a bowling green attached to it. That night was party night at surf camp and much beer and sangria was drunk and drinking games were played. The next morning we hit the road and started our trip up the coast stopping in taree, the worst town in australia according to the instructors, so that the bus could get checked out (this took absolutly ages!) Eventualy we arrived at scotts head and mastered the art of turning on a wave, gnarly bra! In the evening we watched super bad, which was the one film i'd heard everyone talking about but was yet to see so i was stoked that i got to see it and it didn't disapoint! Today we were supposed to go suring in the morning but the waves were too crap so we pushed on up the coast up past coffs harbour and had anouther surfing lesson learning about rips and the water system on the beach, then we went out and surfed! We were staying in a hotel above a bar that night so we had a bbq and a few drinks at the bar some people started betting on the horses and dogs and one guy even one 150 dollars! The drinking carried on upstairs and some people took it a bit to far and broke the ironing board and nearly got in a fight! The last day was kinda sad, we started off with a free surf in the morning and then had the waves surf competition, which was based on creativity aka get naked on your board and you win which is exactly what happend (no i didn't win in case you were wondering) then we said goodbye to most of the instructors and bomed it up to byron bay had a meal and headed out to cheeky monkeys.
