Yes, I’m still alive…..

So for the people who emailed, I hope that puts your minds at rest :)

But only just, mind you! I’ve had some rather bad surfing injuries lately….. a couple of weeks ago I smashed my elbow on the board and it grew to three times its normal size…..it still hurts but looks normal again! Then a few days later I caught a really big wave, fell off at the worst point and finally re-surfaced just in time for the board to smack me in the side of the face…..couldn’t hear anything out my left ear for a few hours and my jaw hurt a bit but its all good now! And finally, the other day a beginner caught a wave and was heading right towards me…..instead of letting me move out the way, he decided to jump off the board which made it fly really fast in my direction. I just managed to duck out the way of the fins, which went into my board, cutting a 2 inch gash right the way through it…..still, lucky it wasn’t my head ey! Those are the major ones, along with a load of fin cuts and scrapes from getting wiped out…..guess that’s why its called an extreme sport!

So my poor board was broke for a few days but it’s all fixed now and I've just come back from a surf :D

Every day its over 35 degrees, I cant believe its 4 weeks til xmas and I’m wearing shorts and t-shirt all the time, I’m gonna freeze when I finally come back home!

Ummmm……not much else to report really, this blog will get more exciting when I leave in 6 weeks and actually do some travelling!
