Burleigh Beach was fantastic! It started downpouring after about an hour but it passed pretty quickly. The waves here are OUT OF CONTROL. They made the ones in Ft. Lauderdale look puny. I tried to go in up to my hips and ended up getting my legs taken out from underneath me and got the wind knocked out of me. It was awesome. The lifeguards are crazy strict here. They give you maybe a couple yards of beach to play in, and I literally mean a few yards. After that they flip out and tell you that the water is dangerous, which obviously it is if it was able to clothesline me at waist-level.
There was a surfing rally going on further down the beach that was so cool to watch:
I think surfing is such a foreign sport to the east coast in America that I always regard it like an extreme sport. We're going to Byron Bay next weekend to get surfing lessons, I'm probably going to make a damn fool out of myself, but it will be worth it.
Surfer's Paradise tonight, cheers!
