We left Hervey Bay early to travel to Noosa Heads. Shanae in particular was up and at 'em early this morning as she could smell surf coming on. We got to Noosa before lunch and set ourselves up quick smart so we could hit the beach. Board and wetsuits packed, we were off. We have waited nearly 10 weeks for this opportunity and were looking forward …

Am Frühen Nachmittag erreichten wir Noosa Heads wo wir gleich unsere Unterkunft bezogen. Anschließend machten wir …
