It’s a 7’6” mini Malibu board and catches the waves like you wouldn’t believe! I actually bought it over a week ago but I've been too busy surfing to write to my blog! Was an absolute bargain at $330 (about £130) and I’m getting pretty good now.
I am covered in cuts a bruises, half from surfing and half from work.....which is going well still. We have had some really easy days lately and have worked for some rich people with amazing houses! we also replace old units which are usually fucked but sometimes completely fine and the customers still chuck them away. I could have had 4 units for free in the last 2 weeks.....but I dont have a house to put them in damnit!
If anyone has stayed in a hostel before you’ll know that you usually sleep in bunk beds.....well, getting in and out of the top bunk quietly when you’re lashed is a bit of a mission! So the other day I changed rooms so I could get a bottom bunk and ended up in a bigger room with a place for my surfboard, result! I’m now sharing a room with 2 English blokes, and English girl, an Irish bloke and a Swedish girl.
The hostel I’m in is so small (30 beds) that I know everyone who’s been there for a while. Its great cos we all go surfing together in the day and play drinking games in the evenings! Thursdays we all go for steak + drinks and last week I randomly bumped into a guy I went to uni with (Si Hassel if anyone from Uni is reading this). He came here a year ago and never left......small world huh!
I haven’t been anywhere particularly exciting since the last post; I’m trying to save enough money for a car to travel up the coast after Christmas. Been to look at a couple which were complete disasters, one actually broke down when I was test driving it! Luckily one of the guys at the hostel is a mechanic so I always get him to come with me so I don’t get scammed!
The weather is starting to get really hot and I’m ridiculously brown at the moment. The guys at work keep telling me its cold so I dunno how I'm gonna cope when its hot by their standards!
Anyway here are some pics, mainly of people from the hostel.
My lovely board!
