Today, what started as a rubbish day actually turned into one of the best on academy.. I got up for my 7am lesson to find the surf is awful - Arrawarra is half a foot and choppy as hell. We all went to Malawarra for our lesson...which was 1ft and also choppy, plus a lot of horrible rips going through the peaks. I had 2 good waves but it didn't save me from having the most frustrating and annoying session since I have been here. After an hour or so I sacked it o...

So I did stay up for some Goon last night, but in the end I was super tired by about 11pm and went to bed. Dave my room mate woke me up at 7am by accident so despite still feel the effects of the Goon I went got a surf. It was a clean 2ft which was fun, only stayed out for about an hour and a half though. About 10:30am Charlie and I went to surf Malawarra and it was absolutely PUMPING. After a hellish paddle out I saw a guy take a wave which was barreling as wid...

Got up at 7am this morning despite it being a Saturday as we were expecting the waves to be really good. In the end Joja, Val and I walked to malwaraa but it was huuuge and closing out so we surfed down the beach at Arrawarra instead. It was a clean 3ft which was fun but not as good as expected. After I got out there was a shark spotted near the shore at Arrawarra so all the lessons were pulled out the water etc. which all caused A bit of excitement. Just chill...

Our lesson was at 7am this morning which was pretty good - it was considerably smaller than yesterday, other than the odd set, and there wasn't much wind. I enjoyed it a lot more and got a couple of stand out waves. One of which both Rhys and I were on so I'm looking forward to watching that video in theory at some point. After our lesson I came in for a 2nd breakfast before going back out with the other group. By then the surf was pretty rubbish so I got out af...

Stayed up and had a few beers night but still got to bed by 11pm as we all knew the swell was meant to hit today. We weren't disappointed - I was woken up at 6:30am to the sound of waves landing on the beach. Our lesson was at 7am so I ran to breakfast and then got the wetsuit on. We paddled out and the sets were considerably 4ft with some outside coming through at 5ft+. I didn't really have best of sessions, just couldn't pick the right waves out. Linton was v...
