Surfing

The surfing seesion was at Berry Bay North, when we got there we split up in to 3 groups after being allocated boards. I was in Andy the surf instructors group. He then described the technique used to catch a wave and to stand up. every 30 minutes or so, Andy would bring us in and give us feedback.
To Surf you must:
  1. Paddle 4 strokes after the waves hit you.
  2. Bring your back knee up to provide balance.
  3. Bring your other leg up towards the front of the board.
  4. And once your feet are in the middle of the board... stand up.
  5. Bend your knees and maintain balance as the waves carrie you.
The best part of surfing was being able to stand up on the board 10+ times on my second time surfing.

The worst part of surfing was having to carry the boards up the stairs... they were big stairs and the boards are heavy when you only have one arm... -_- .
