Byron Bay

---

We got the overnight bus to Byron Bay from Newcastle. Byron has very nice beaches and loads of activities on offer. It has a slightly resort like feel but remains pleasant place to be. We stayed in a couple of YHA's here for almost a week. We spent most days surfing including a lesson on the first day. Standing up was easy enough in the lesson on their big soft-ish learner boards and quite a bit harder ( though still achievable ) on the 'real' boards we hired after. We also spent a day cycling and walking and a morning on a tour to go Kayaking with the local dolphins. Guess how many dolphins we saw ? None, not a single chuffing dolphin. "Oh, we've seen loads" everyone else we met kept telling us, "and whales too." Liars.

Simply by tilting the camera the wave became as large as the pacific

I thought this looked like fun, why did you have to stand differently on your boards
