Cowabunga Dudes!

Well, it's our last full day down under, and we took the ferry out to Manly Beach for a group surfing class.  The weather was cooperating, it was sunny and about 80 with a light wind, however, we were a little worried because we didn't see too many waves before our lesson.  In the end it didn't really matter, after a quick 10 minute intro (or re-intro in our case from our last surfing lesson in NC) we were out on the water with our boards!

After awhile, the waves picked up, and we both managed to catch some waves.  I really had to wait for the bigger waves since I need the extra power to get me up to speed.  Caitlin however, was flying all over the place and caught a bunch of waves.  All told, it was a pretty sweet $55 and had the makings of a good day.  We sat in the sun a little after surfing and grabbed some lunch and went back to the beach.  The water was definitely too cold though.  I mean you know it's cold if I won't go in there. . .

Tonight we just took it easy, and picked up some take away food and soon it'll be time to bed and we'll be on our way home tomorrow after lunch.  See everyone soon!  We'll be setting up the slideshow presentation sometime next week. . .
