Learn to Surf, Sem 1 2011

The weather was great, bikinis and swimming trunks were everywhere. What more can a guy/girl ask for? As usual the day started off behind schedule but that’s kind of expected. The bus ride to Currumbin was comfortable enough thanks to our bus driver, Chris’s awesome bus driving skill. I guess the only annoying thing during the bus ride was when Farhah, our MC of the day kept saying “Can everybody hear me?” each time she spoke into the PA system. Sorry Farhah :P

Overall, I am pretty sure everybody enjoyed themselves that day. Well other than pictures as memories of that day, I’ve got some massive sunburn in the shape of my singlet and my skin is starting to peel now, it’s a bit “geli” . Well, this won’t be a long post of me rambling, I’m just going to put up some pictures and you know, add some weird caption to them. Enjoy

 

Clueless people on how tired they’re going to be later

Getting ready to hit the waves

 

Before that, a quick lesson on surfing by Blondie

Nobody is going to take this board away from me. Nobody!

That’s right, that’s how you dance on a surfer board. Do the booty shake!

People putting their hands up.

 

Who’s your daddy?

I am, I’m flying

After 2 hours of surfing and almost AN HOUR just for changing, we were ready to leave for Surfer’s Paradise to jalan-jalan/makan but before that, group pic :D

This is so boring, everybody is being so beautiful

Much better

But I personally think this is the best group picture for UQMSA so far.

It’s been a pleasure organizing this year’s Learn-to-Surf and I just want to thank Farhah for helping out, and I really hope you guys enjoyed yourself. This is Jiansheng signing off and all the best for the coming mid-term examinations.

Currumbin Alley’s sheltered layout makes it less exposed and open to the prevailing Southerly winds, creating both perfect Learn to Surf conditions and challenging long rides for the experienced surfer.

A wet suit and surfboard will be provided by the surf school. Learn to Surf lessons include instruction in paddling, wave catching, various prone to feet methods, surfboard design and Surf Safety.

PS: Non-surfers will get to laze around the beach and play some games while surfers try to 'Hang ten" :D
