Everyone has now completed their final surfing lesson. Over the period of four lessons we have learnt how to paddle, catch a wave, the different techniques of standing up and how to turn the board. We have all really enjoyed these lessons at the beach and give a big thank you to the surf instructors Mel, Pete and Phil!

We have all walked away from these lessons with our heads held high and now either a level 1 or a level 2 in surfing.

I have really enjoyed my time surfing and was sad to finish our last lesson. However, the waves today were pretty small and it was like trying to surf in a bay or a lake, which was a bit disappointing. I have done my best to make the most out of all my opportunities to surf whilst being here, as I really love the sport and I don't get the opportunity to surf at home.- Caitlin

Surfing for me was really good. I really enjoyed it, even though the waves weren't that big. I tried my best to get level 2 but I don't think I did. But the day was still very enjoyable. When I get home I hope to continue surfing for recreation. - Reanna

Last night Reanna and I had the opportunity to run an evening class (gender night). This was a great opportunity for us to improve our leadership and public speaking skills.
