A couple of weeks ago we got our first pay packet in Australia and spent it wisely - two brand spanking new surfboards from the famous Zak Surfboard Shop in Melbourne! Jen got a beautiful blue Hot Buttered short board at 6'4", 20.25", 2.5", and Joe bought a Zak fishtail 7"0, 22", 3.25". These boards are a huge step up from the boards we had previously rode (Jen 7'6" and Joe 9'2"), so we knew they would take a lot of getting used to - hopefully the excellent Australian conditions would give us a helping hand!
Since our purchase we have been taking the boards down to Torquay and Jan Juc on every spare day we have had! We've had some great conditions and some of the biggest waves we have ever surfed in. In such conditions you have to learn fast otherwise you'll spend all day getting battered by the waves. However, we both feel as though we have already made huge strides on our new boards; and we still have two months of non-stop surfing to come!
There are likely to be plenty more surf pictures in the next two months as we head up the east coast so keep logging in to check out our progress!
