Surf Again YEEHAH ... well yeehah

Yesterday went to the beach for my afternoon swim to see a bunch of waves coming in. I'll admit that on any normal day in a normal place where there is lots of surf I wouldn't bother going out but being out of the water for almost two months I was ecstatic. I don't think I have have taken my surfboard out of the car so quickly. The internals of the car were tossed around as I looked for bits and pieces that had moved to the bottom of the pile, wax, wax comb, surf helmut, rash vest, wetsuit. WETSUIT... Hah you can stay in the car I told the miserable piece of rubber skulking in a yellow plastic back in the depths of the car boot.

Surfing without a wetsuit is one of those pleasures that must be experienced. Warm water is just a joy. I can't say the rash on the inside of my leg where the board wax and my leg hair were violently coupling is anything fun but it was definately worth it. This morning I got up early and the swell had held up through the night but with an offshore wind now the water was turqoise glass and the small peaks were fun to play in.

Booked in for a medical test this Monday so I can do my PADI beginners dive course when I get to Ningaloo. Too many people have told me how cool diving is so I'm gonna give it a go. Will probably head outa Broome straight after the Medical. There is a concert in Broome this coming sunday to support the erection of a radio transmitter for JJJ. That should be a fun thing before I head off.

Way too hot today though.. After surfing I headed to the small mall and hung out in airconditioned comfort, eating icecreams and reading magazines, exiting the building only to call Evelyn in Austria who was all bleary eyed and sleepy given it was only six in the moring.

Oh well not much else to say. So adieu.
