Back at home a lot of people advised me to think twice about this idea because of the dangerous waters of Australia (sharks, jellyfish, stingrays, etc.) However, I am so glad that I did decide to do it despite my fears of what may lurk in the water.
First, Alyxis and I signed up for the “Learn to Surf” trip through RMIT Link, a program through RMIT University that sets up various discounted trips for students. We went to Anglesea Beach, which is very close to the Great Ocean Road, where we met our surf instructors.
After surfing we all sat around and had lunch and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around us. It was definitely a day that I will never forget. I am officially addicted to surfing now. I can’t wait to go again and practice some more. I already told my parents that I wanted to buy my own surf board when I got back home as well, HAHA!
