Surfer Girl SALTY Gold Coast Qld Australia

Growing up and Learning to Surf at BONDI BEACH  I grew up surfing at Bondi Beach Sydney Australia, during the '80s, there were only 4 girls that surfed at the time: Me, Pauline, Prue and Lisa. Bondi is a tiny city beach and in the summer you can only surf on the south end of the beach making it even smaller. It was so crowded that I longed for those choppy blown out days so I could get a wave to myself.  First I had a surf mat then I had a boogie board, I always loved the ocean. I used to ride my bike down and surf on my boogie board then go play basketball in the Bondi Pavillion, with whoever turned up to play. Learning to surf took forever there were no surf schools in existence. It was a matter of getting a surfboard and doing it.  My brother got a Mark Richards Twin Fin and he hardly used it at the time because he was into Rap Dancing, he used to take a ghetto blaster ( a stereo) and dance in the city on the street with friends.

YouTube - 4 Year-Old Hip Hop Dancer Miles Brown On Ellen Show 10/20/2009 He is so good and only 4 years old. His dad or mum probably loves to dance. Its amazing but what ever we as parents are in to our children will be to. What an opportunity! What pressure! Obviously my kids are going to love the beach and surfing. My 7 yr old can surf on any board short board to malibu. Thats what he's been around his whole life. My toddler also always stands straight up on any board. It was another day in paradise. Hot like summer without being too humid. The ocean is warm like a bath. Love the beach down at Rainbow. We took the log out today. A very heavy old single fin long board / Malibu. Fun fun can catch anything.  All we need is a little more swell. Saw this on a shirt today, "Life is better when you surf". I have a tshirt that say," Waiting for waves is Ok. Some people spend there life waiting for nothing!". "All we need is love and a good day surfing. ...

Here I am living in Paradise. Literally a surfers paradise. We have the best waves in the world right here on my doorstep. I've traveled and lived all over the world- only places that have surf, of course! Some of my favorite surf locations are: Costa Rica, Mexico, Indonesia (although I won't go there now I have family to protect too many bombings). Its been been flat, and more flat all summer. I kept telling all the Surfing Mums" Feb to March there will be swell- in our cyclone season". Just like clockwork on Feb 1st 2010 the waves came. Since then we have had 2 great swells. I caught some waves at Greeny that were so long my legs ached. How can you explain this joy to someone that doesn't surf! Everything has to be right; the swell, the wind -glassy of course, the crowds, have to sit in the right spot in the lineup. Then Wham Bam the best waves of my life. I love it, yes I'm a surf stoked loving surfer.
