Just after arriving to Australia, we were so furiously overexcited with the “Australian surfing culture” thing that we bought a gleaming new surfboard on the first weekend, rushed to the beach and began an intensive waxing to the sunset.

Yahaaa!  It was  like a childhood dream becoming true. The Australian sun, so bright, the Australian beaches, endless kilometers of immaculate sand, so white, and the Australian waves, so perfectly curled…Yeah, AND the Australians surfers, hoards of them, tattooed from head to foot, thirsty for the perfect wave and SO ready to make mincemeat of whatever got in their way…

Do I need to say it didn’t take long until we got tossed off the beach…Sizzlin’.

So with surfers, now I think I just like to look…There’s nothin’ better than sitting on the beach, sippin’ soda, and watching the hunks float by!
