Today is international surfing day and I just thought I didn’t write a lot about surfing though it was one of my favorite activities while in Australia.
\nSurfing was part of culture in Polynesia for ages but only in the last century the surfing was gaining popularity in other parts of the world.
\nMy first touch with surfing was in very unusual place.\u00a0 During my trip to Germany\u00a0 I was walking around Munich and suddenly in the center of the city I saw surfers. Can you image somebody surfing in the middle of the city<\/a>? So it was my first time I learned about such kind of activity.
\nIt took five years till I actually tried to learn surfing. It happened at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa. I took some lessons there. Unfortunately it was very bad season and even for learners waves were too small.
\nSo it passed another couple years and I arrived to Sydney. I said myself I need to learn surfing now or never. It was early and not warmest spring, but I went to Surf Camp near Sydney<\/a> (which I definitely recommend). It was two intense days at Seven Mile Beach, but at the end I could stand up without problems and ride waves! It is unbelievable feeling.
\nOf course it wasn’t wave like this one:<\/p>\n
