Surfing Aussie waves

The beaches are varied and vast with lots of waves. It is great to watch the changes that occur between high tides and low tides.
Here are the safety rules we have learned about the ocean waters while on their trip and surf school.
1. Swim between the flags where the lifeguards are present.
2. Swim where there are other people present.
3. Always use sunscreen.
4. Swim parallel with the shore if you get stuck out. If will drift you back to shore.
5. As a wave approaches you must choose to:
        swim under it
        swim through it
        ride with it
6. Watch for oyster shells, Ouch!!! Both Leona and Jude have had their feet cut up.
7. Watch for jellyfish, they can sting you badly.
8. Swim away from rocks formations present in the water.
9. Watch for other surfers, boards, and swimmers.

  3. Hey ladies looks like you have learned how to surf very well. Looks like lots of fun. It is almost 40 degrees here so a little warm or December. Howard and Randy are getting excited for Christmas to get here. They played stinky smelly shephards in the christmas program at church. Take care love you all. Aunt Claire
