Australian Surf Life Saving Championships

This was a pretty cool event! We got there just in time to see the start. This was a type of relay team event, one person would paddle out and then back in and then tag the next person to swim the course. The surf was massive!

It was a good day to just lay around...

Me on the back of the sea-doo getting towed in from being out in the rip. Some kids were yelling help and nobody noticed them so I ran out with a body board and tried to help them..before we knew it the ground disappeared and some giant swell was pounding us. Lost the body board and couldn't swim back in because the rip (the reason the kid needed help in the first place). Needless to say the life guards came out, towed the boy in and then came back to pick me up since we failed at out-swimming the rip and since it was much easier; and before you tell me..I did try to swim across the rip.
