Surf Camp...

About 30 of us from the BU program went to surf camp this past weekend 2 hours north of Sydney in Geroa. I know when everyone thinks of Sydney they think 80 degrees, sunshine, calm water, etc. Well think again people. Imagine Boston on a rainy early April day. Thats what this weekend was like. I was cold for 48 hours straight. It basically poured the whole weekend and was about 55- 60 degrees, with 30 mph winds. That said, I HAD A BLAST! Not only did was I proud of myself for not wimping out, I also really improved as a surfer, and the instructors and group was really fun to hang out with. Anthony of course excelled (like he does at everything) and was one of the best in the group. We did two 2-hour sessions a day. Putting on those wet wetsuits was the worst part of the whole experience. Actually, the water was not cold at all, especially with the wetsuits. It was way warmer than the air. But with the wind and rain made for really rough seas. Wave after wave pounded down, making paddling out almost impossible. It was so tiring. It really was "the elements." But, seriously, it was really fun, and now any other surfing conditions will seem like paradise. Im very sore, but nothing a few days of advil cant cure. Back to another week of school- I have to start all my papers this week, so dont expect another post until some news comes along! Miss you!
