A New South Wales Adventure - Part 1

Last summer in Australia, my girlfriend and I headed up from Melbourne, Australia, and did a New South Wales, Australia road/surf trip.

We started in the city of Newcastle.

With a huge storm bearing down on us, wet and windy weather was on the way. And that brought huge swell.

Most places looked unapproachable. While others looked more approachable than they really were.

Me with my tail between my legs. This point looked so fun from land. But in the water it was a different story. I was quickly overwhelmed and out of my league. I didn't catch a single wave.

That night we found ourselves at Forster. And, with the sun still up, it was pumping enough to warrant going out for a crack at a new spot.

Again I surfed like a bum, so there aren't any good action photos of me. I've included the below photo of me paddling over a wave to give you an indication of how bit it was that day.
