Coffs Harbour
Today we went from Shoal Bay to Mojo Surf, which is by Arrawarra Beach, Coffs Harbour. I was very tired on the bus so I slept most of the way. I think that's why it didn't seem to take that long.
When we got to Coffs Harbour we put our stuff in our rooms and went for a surf lessons. Our rooms were old transport containers that had been converted. They were quite basic and freezing cold. I was sharing with Julia and Margaret.
After a short talk we went and got our wet suits and boards and made our way to the beach, where we had a theory lesson - practicing on the sand. Then we went out into the water. The first few goes you try smaller waves and everyone falls of and gets it wrong. It really is hard work for all over your body.The surfing was great fun even although I wasn't very good at it. I got photos of me but they are not very good and are certainly not pretty, I don't think I'll be showing anyone them.
Later we had a shower, and went to have dinner, al fresco, it was nice, I had fish and a little bit if pasta. We then gathered round the camp fire and had a few drinks, our entire group and some people from the surf camp. The people from the surf camp were all very nice most of them were people working for a time whilst travelling.
