Surfing at East Cape Print

We were all a little tired because we came back from expo the day before we went surfing but we all wanted to have a really good time. We got out on the beach and did our warm up; all the while looking at the waves wishing we could hurry up and get out there. We finally got to grab our boards and go. We started off slow but the longer we spent in the water the more energy we had. The waves were getting bigger and the wind was getting stronger. By mid-morning the waves were huge and it was really windy. We paddled in and out all whilst searching for the best wave to catch. It was perfect surf conditions with the wind coming from the shore going out to sea which held the face of the wave up so it didn’t crash as early. I think from the whole morning we all got smashed by a few waves, especially the big ones but that’s all part of the fun. We weren’t as energetic as normal but we couldn’t resist just bumming around on the beach so we had to get out there.

So far that has been the best surf session in my opinion that we have had here. Hopefully there are more like that to come!
