It was our first session of surfing and the waves were great because everyone was wiping out with a face full of sand, our mighty surf instructors Mel and Pete from the Surf Shack rocked up to East Cape Conran to teach us our gnarly surfing skills to rip up the waves on our perfect sunny day and not a cloud to be seen. We practiced on the beach before going into the water so when we went in we were the most skilled people ever to be seen on the beach. Together we all ran towards the beach to hit the waves but when we touched the water our feet were swept away by the huge oncoming waves that were bigger than all of us, we all persevered through the giant waves and made it to the outer water where we caught the monsters to the beach and celebrated with some well-deserved cookies. After our surf we felt like our arms would fall off from all the paddling but in the end it was worth it and on top of that we had to carry the surfboards up the huge hill to the safety of the surf bus. Once we got back we had a water fight which drenched everyone. No one was safe.
