Surfer duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudes
Entry 45 of 49 | show all | print this entry |
Heyyyyyyy guys,
So, upon arrival we managed to jump into the Koala Backpackers' courtesy van to their hostel, phewwwwwww, so we didn't have to lug our bags up the hill!
We went down to the beach for a wander along and to watch the surfers. We got ice creams yummmm a treat and Becky bought a new towel as the smelly one was in dire need of replacing (seriously!! Luke already chucked his and just uses his sarong).
Up quite early the next morning for our 2hour surf lesson, we were taken down to the beach and kitted up. Our instructor took the 5 of us through the 'One, two, three' steps of learning to stand up on a surfboard and off we went.
First he pulled us one by one into the waves so we could practise standing up.... or trying to stand up. We did alright though, a couple of wobbles and flops but we did some standing! Our instructor said it was surprising how well our group was doing, he doesn't normally get a group who do so well as a whole...... but maybe he was just trying to make us more confident.
After a little instruction on the beach, we went back in trying to catch our own waves. Luke was great and caught some with ease but this is where things started to go wrong for becky. She managed to get tangled up in the surf with her board which landed on her elbow....fun. But after a second break we still both went back in, determined not to let the big mean waves scare us away (Luke wasn't scared really).
The next morning we got offers from Quicksilver and Billabong to join their surf teams but we declined cos we miss you guys too much. Aren't we just the best?
(By the way, where is the vote on salty popcorn? You're letting the side down).
After a spot of lunch we returned to the beach to sit and watch the afternoon surf lesson so we could see if they were better than us..... we don't think they were.
The next day, after sitting on the beach and watching another surf lesson, we left for Hervey Bay xxxx

No problem with the original popcorn, sweet popcorn is just an imposter wanting to be salty!!!!!
When I had the restaurant, we served salty popcorn with added tobasco in the bar area instead of nuts/crisps (this was the mid-80's !!), it did help to boost bar sales though!
Love UR xxx
