Now its my
third day here at my cousin Yvonne's place. She and her boyfriend Rhett are living in the very
nice suburb “Runaway Bay”, just one street from the beach. And on the backyard
of the each house is also a pier into the river, from which the ocean is
accessible in a few seconds with the boat. So today morning I took the kayak
and paddled along the river out into the ocean to an island, a few hundred
meters from the beach.
Thankfully
the temperatures are much lower than up in the north of Australia and as soon
the sun goes down and the wind blows a bit, its getting seriously
freezing!!
Yesterday I
went Surfers Paradise, the most famous district along the Gold Coast, and
watched out for surf schools. So in the afernoon I had my first surf lesson.
The briefing was pretty short and already a few minutes later, after walking through half Surfers Paradise with our
surfboards, where we looked like a bunch of dumbasses, we stood at the beach and were shown how we had to handle the board
in the water. And see there, two hours later I was able to stand on the board!
Well most of the group was able to stand at the end, but unbelieavable how many
untalented fat people are trying to surf and get disappointed when they don’t
catch even just one wave to stand up…haha
So today I
had me second lesson out of three. As already yesterday the ocean brought some
big waves, the todays waves were again much more stronger than yesterday
and it was very difficult to learn and practice in these conditions. But it makes fun!
