NSW Surf Weekend

Always willing to expand my surfing horizons I took off on a 4-day weekend with a few mates (old and new) to camp and surf in New South Wales. We left early Friday morning and stopped after a couple of hours driving for a surf at South Ballina. While sitting on our boards waiting for the next set Steve enthusiastically recounted his week-old shark story about how a 2-3 meter long shark swam within arm's length of him in this exact location.

We decided to move on shortly after this... We drove on to Wooli (a total of 350km south of Brisbane) and set up camp where it promptly started to rain. We braved the elements though and managed to get in another surf before dark. Saturday was filled with surf, rain, kayaking, and good times. We finished the day out with dinner at the Wooli pub and watched a game of footy before chatting up the locals.

Sunday was the nicest day weather wise and we filled it with beach, surf, bbq, bocci, and general chilling out.

Monday we had to head back to Brizzie, but not before another 2 surf sessions. One of these was at Lennox Head, the next headland south of Byron Bay. Apparently it's one of the east coast's premier point breaks. It wasn't too good on this day, but it was good enough. I caught a few waves there, mostly scraps leftover by the locals. It was awesome though...
