surfing "My parents gave me my first surfboard when I was nine. I was so happy I cried! In Bondi, everyone is into surfing get up at six o'clock in the morning to go surfing before school. Businessmen surf before work they take their business suits to the beach in their bags! For me, the best thing is being outside in the sun with my friends and family. I spend every summer travelling up and down the coast, camping and surfing with my mates. ve been to some fantastic places and I've met some of the coolest people in the world. My girlfriend's Japanese and she's just started surfing too, which is really cool! i love searching for the truly perfect wave but I haven't found it yet!
