There is a variety of trips and the best thing; you will usually get at least a discount of 15% when you book these events.
I went to the Surf Camp this weekend and it was such a great experience. You definitely have to take the chance to learn how to surf during your stay in Australia.
It is very easy to book this trip and to make this adventure come true.
You just have to have a look in our events calendar and search for the Surf Camp. Then you have to click on “Book here” and the link will automatically lead you to the booking page of “Surf Camp Australia”, there you have to choose the “Ultimate Surf Weekend” and that’s it.
Very easy! You don’t have to worry, the normal price is $345 but if you use our promotional code you will get it for $270. That’s really great, isn’t it?
Our meeting point on Friday evening was the “Wake up Point” in Pitt Street, it is very easy to find as it is close to Central Station.
First I was very surprised that there were so many people, but everything was well organised. There were about 90 people and there were 3 buses which carried us to the Surf Camp.
About 45minutes after the departure we had a stop. This was really cool because everyone was hungry and there were lots of opportunities to eat something.
All in all it took about 2 hours until we arrived at Seven Mile Beach.
After the arrival at 9pm, we all came together and one of the instructors introduced the others to us and explained everything about the following two days.
Afterwards, he split the camp into two groups, we got to know our roommates and finally everyone went to bed.
My group had breakfast at 9:00am and our first surf lesson started at 10:30am. Even though it rained and was very windy, we were able to learn the Surf “basics” on the beach and to have our first experience with the surfboard in the water.
It is not as easy as it seems, however the instructors are all very skilled and they explain everything we needed to know and even assisted us to manage our boards in the water.
In addition, they were always making jokes and knew how to keep us motivated, so it was always very funny and amusing.
What was also very cool was the fact that there were always some instructors who took pictures and videos. These were posted on Facebook at the end of the trip for everyone to see.
After two hours our lesson was finished and we had a great lunch. We were then given a break for about 2 hours and the second surf lesson started soon afterwards.
We got to know more about surfing and began to improve.
In the evening we all had a barbecue and the atmosphere was really nice. We watched the pictures and videos of the surf lessons from the day which were very funny, and afterwards we went to a pub for a few drinks.
Sunday
On Sunday we had breakfast at 7:00am and our surf lesson started at 8:30am. I was so happy because the weather was much better than on Saturday, it was not that windy, the sun was shining and the waves were perfect for beginners.
The lesson lasted two hours which was long enough as most of us were now able to paddle and to stand up and we got to know how to drop into and ride across the waves.
It was amazing and everyone was very proud and happy!
After lunch we had some time to relax, pack our things and enjoy the sun either on the beach or by the pool.
We then had a so-called board lesson where we became familiar with the surf rules, weather conditions, the board, the water and so on..it was very interesting!
We watched the latest pictures and videos of our day in the surf.
All of us on the camp received a $20 voucher for the Rip Curl store in Sydney CBD.
The bus ride home went smoothly and then we carried on the fun by partying at side bar.
I have to mention it again...if you have the opportunity to come
to Sydney, then you must jump onto the surf camp! Apart from learning how to
surf, you will also have a great weekend on the beach and meet lots of
interesting and funny people!
