This past Sunday, after visiting the Nippers, my mates and I headed to Bondi Beach to watch the Boost Mobile SurfSho. It was my first time to Bondi Beach and I went for a run to check out the area. I had run from Coogee to Bondi before, but hadn’t been on the beach yet. I was impressed by the crowd the competition had drawn.
Kelly Slater was suppose to be at it, but never showed up. However, I was able to watch several other surfers. Many of which had taken quite a tumble at some point. Competition exists amongst the surfers, but you wouldn’t know. They shake each other’s hands and I spotted a lot of smiles and fun amongst several of the pros.
Sponsored by several Co.’s, I received several freebies! The facility they had set up included a large screen projection and sound system, as well as several tents.
The crowd really seemed to get into the event and cheer whether surfers did well or wiped out. A few of my friends have picked up surfing since we’ve been here and I’m interested to see if they can come close to the skill I saw on Sunday!
