As previously mentioned, I am back in the home town and have been greeted with freezing water. The water was chilly, but I got that 4/3 Xcel so I was warm as toast. Very few people in the water apart from a few mates and a couple of longboarders from out of town. Still lots of waves to be had.
Check this cool foto of me and a few mates from a recent trip we took up to PA.

So now that I am back from Australia, what did I learn from my trip this time? Well it was a great trip because I was surfing against all the other pro juniors from around the world, and it was really amazing watch the World Tour event, so good to see Jordy do well, and be there to check that out.
The biggest bummer was the prices for food and drinks. It was off the Richter scale.
The best thing about coming home is sleeping in my own bed, and the fact that there really is no one in the water.
We were all on quite a bad food program over there. We ate loads of quick and easy junk food.. really got to get that sorted for the next time I go travelling.
I most definitely picked up a bit of weight, but my plan is to just go surf, to start training and get back into the swing of things.
The most important thing I took away from my trip was I spent quite a bit of time looking at boards, and getting my head around equipment. This is something I want to get into more in the future.
