Gorgeous

We traveled down to New South Whales (NSW) the other day with one of our friends that we met at church,  and it is one of the most amazing and gorgeous places ever. I feel like it is a mix between Hawaii weather and Central California empty lands and pastures. Our buddy from church (Malcom) showed us around a couple of secret surf spots that were not working at the moment; however, we did find a right hand point break called Cabarita, and it was a really fun point break with pretty long rides. But the overall scenery made it really special and something that I wont forget! I didnt bring my camera because I was afraid of it getting stolen, but now i know it is relatively safe down there and I will hopefully be posting pictures of NSW soon! 

Oh and the tendinitus is much better the medicine the doctors gave me helped a ton! so I am back out in the water!

Surf

This past week has been absolutely amazing! We are all finally getting the hang of everything over here and are loving it even more as we go along! We have our car which is still running great! We have a nice flat screen TV that I found for a insane deal! 

We got a solid 4-5 foot swell to come in, although the direction was not perfect for all the spots we scored some AMAZING waves. I have never surfed right that was so hollow and so perfect, on top of this the waves go forever, I caught a wave yesterday that went from snapper rocks all the way to the inside of Greenmount (basically I surfed 3 surf spots in one wave), the wave must have been well over a minute long. The inside part of Greenmount has an insane barrel and this is where i have been surfing the most. The wave breaks in about 2 feet of water and just peels perfectly across a sandbar.  

The antibiotics for the spider bite have started to push the swelling down, but the pain kept getting worse, so I went to the doctor and he told me that I have tendenitus and that I wont be able to surf for the next 2 weeks... we will see about that.
