Crowdy Gap was picture perfect this morning - smooth, warm ocean, perfect little left and rights and no-one around for miles. Husband and I outlasted the kids - I love it when the kids are waiting patiently on the beach for the parents to have their fun and get out of the surf! You know all is right with the world when this happens. I hope there were lots of surfermums carving 'em up at Diamond this morning..?
Friday night was a blast! The company was fab but I gotta say I loved my champagne, 1/2 pizza, 1/2 tiramisu and coffee! Girl food huh? And very Italian I think. Twas great to see all nine surfermums there in one spot. That doesn't happen very often these days. And we wish Laura and her mum all the best over the next little while. Mums are very important. More than words can say.
Did you know there is a ripple of disquiet begining over the naming of the MOB. An underground rebel group wants to ditch the Mum title and replace it with Babes...or was it Boobs? Fair enough I say. I'm not in charge of the MOB, I only like to write about them.
I like the fact that we had our kids and then decided it wasn't enough to be minding them on the beach. We wanted a piece of the action! And in true Mum spirit we headed out and did it the mum way. Not with egos or testosterone - but with each other, a healthy sense of humour and absolutely no care for hair or makeup! I kinda think its the mum bit that makes our group special. And think of all the school holidays when we have been out surfing with our tribe. Theres been times when there has been 20 of us from ages 8 to... well, we won't mention. Now, that is childminding! Our kids will remember surfing with their mums. How good is that? My surferboy loves it!
After all these years (it has been years you know girls!) I think we surf pretty good, we have fun with it, and we never ever take it too seriously. Its just play. MOBS/BOBS whatever!

PS. We need some new surfing pictures here. Anyone?
