Another fine day in paradise

Glassy conditions at Crescent- a little smaller but oh so clean, alot warmer and no crowds - what a fine way to finish a magic week!!

Great to be alive!! by the travelling surfer Bel.

Sooo Great to be alive!! A girls surfing weekend surrounded by fabulous women with just enough time to unpack, repack and head to Crescent with my family. With the promise of a southerly change on the way the vibe and anticipation was palpable...and so it delivered. Wednesday arvo proved to be not for the light hearted because of the freezing currents and cold winds a blowin' but you cannot let a good wave go by. To add to the pain wetsuit was still wet from the morning brrrrr... I swear my bones were so cold they were playing tunes that I last heard at Carla's jam session!! Thursday just got better and better with the sun even peeping out at times to thaw our blood in readiness for another session. The length of those rides will keep me dream'n all through the night. Home tomorrow but not before we embrace the surfing lifestyle for one more day until we can do it all again........ Sooooo Great to be Alive - I Love My Life............

Cheers to the super surfermums for a fabulous weekend.

It was rather fortuatous of me to secure a spot at the Cellito Surf Classic on the Surfermums Smiths Lakes Surfing/Yoga/Laughter weekend. My absolute favourite part of weekend was of course the visiting possum-I'm sure everyone would agree-ha ha ha ha ha

Another Excellent Weekend

What a brilliant weekend!
Once again the surf gods looked kindly upon the little Mobsters and let there be just enough surf for us - but not enough to attract many others. Ahh...thats what we like - Cellito to ourselves.

Look out for footage of the Grom who will turn up in a surfer movie very soon. She got so many great waves that she is considering surfing on the MumPro tour. :)

Here she is conquering one of her fears: a cute and cuddly possum. Yes, believe it or not, she will drop down 6 foot waves without a second thought but should a possum rub up against her leg she will jump out of her skin.


Excellent food, fabulous company, and perhaps a little more laughing than usual this time. Thanks Jules. Thank you Batgirl for the champagne, and thankyou to the lovely surfermums. You make excellent fun.

Another day in Paradise

 Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NoNo Its a WHALE!!!!!! A few whales put on a nice performance for us ladies this morning.

 Even though it was small,the sunshine and clear waters gave us no choice but to follow its orders and head in. Nice shot of the board Bel.......

Shell watching how its done..... Nah.. She caught a beautiful green wave today,all the way in...... 

I love Melbourne

I haven't taken any surfing photos lately. Has anyone got any they would like to submit? Nevertheless I have taken a few Melbourne snaps after Husband and I spent a couple of nights there to see the Vienna Art and Design exhibition. The exhibition was fab, but Melbourne is just sensational! I love the the trams, the shopping, the MCG precinct, and how centrally located everything seems to be. We saw Ned Kelly's armour, free outdoor music, discovered a brilliant underground bar (I am sure there are millions of them!) that sold Heinekin for $10 a jug!, and got kicked out of the MCG!

When I say kicked out, what I mean is that we were walking past the MCG after one of their semi finals, the place was locked up except for the open 'members' door. Of course, not being one to miss an opportunity, Husband suggested we cruise in, make our way down to the pitch and check it out. This all sounded fine. To me. Not to the paranoid security guard who thought we were terrorists. Some friendly Geelong members insisted to him that we were their guests and managed to smuggle us over to gaze down at the hallowed turf. Then we got kicked out.

Everything is abuzz in the lead up to the big event this weekend! Champagnekate is turning 21 again and it should be a blast! See you there.
