The lack of internet for most of my trip put a cease to all blog posts from down under. For that reason, there is a flurry of blog posts to come in the near future all most of which will be from Australia. It’s been slightly overwhelming trying to sort through everything and find a logical place to start, so I kinda ended up starting at the end of my trip. Sort of reverse chronological style. Here are some photos from Manly, where my adventure ended, and where the inaugural Australian Open Of Surfing took place and people flocked to the beach to watch everyone spin in the air above gutless waist high waves dribbling into the beach and score 9’s. People came in by the ferry-load from Sydney. Similar to the US open, but less 13 year old girls running around in a dust cloud like canned sardines most of whom are covered in writing and obscenities, and more die hard proud aussie surf fans coming to cheer their country’s best surfers on hoping one of them would win. All faces were turned toward the ocean and it’s little wind waves instead of swimming through a see of people in search of the next booth with free stickers and body paint. Sure enough, they prevailed and the people won with Hurley putting on another incredible event successfully entertaining surf fans on international shores.
