Boogie Boarding actually! Surfing Review

Australia is awesome for watersports and there are dozens of beaches along the Sydney area coast including the most famous - Bondi Beach!

My friend whose flat we were sitting over Christmas and New Year's had a couple of Boogie boards that he let us use - he'd taken his surf board with him on holiday, which is just as well as I've only ever managed to go in a wobbly straight line!

Anyway, what better way to enjoy the scorching sunny days than to take a dip in the waters!

Remember though to have plenty of waterproof sunscreen cos this part of the world is distinctly ozone free and therefore you can get hideously burnt in 0 seconds flat!

Also remember to stay within the flags to avoid the nasty rips, stay away from the rocks (one guy was in the news for breaking his back on the rocks whilst surfing while we were there!) and watch out for those pesky sharks - if they get your arm you can only swim in circles, which isn't good for getting out to the really good waves! ;-)

Address: Any of the beaches

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
