Surprise surprise, I woke up this morning at about 6:30am still a little drunk but with a huuuge headache. Everyone was up really early despite being super tired so we all just had breakfast and then monged around a little while discussing last nights events. By about 9am I was really tired, so went back to bed and slept through till lunch. After lunch the sun had come out and everyone was laying around in the sun on the grass chatting about last night and som...

The surf was ...

Everyone was pretty excited because as a group we Havnt been taken to many different spots. The surf at Woolgooga was ok - we surfed a sandbank whi...

What a day.. I am now a fully qualified, internationally recognised level 1 surf instructor. I got up and had breakfast in time for a 9am start to our day of assessment. All morning we did theory about how to be an instructor, about techniques to help people etc. Straight after lunch in pairs we had to present a 'lesson plan' for a hypothetical situation/lesson we were given.
