Arrival at the Tweed Coast

The sun was just beginning to rise as I arrived at the Tweed Coast, a place that had been on my radar for quite some time. Known for its diverse cultural scene and stunning natural beauty, it was the perfect spot for a two-day surfing adventure. As a professional surfer, I’ve spent years chasing waves across Central America, but the allure of the Australian coast was something I couldn’t resist.

The journey began with a drive along the Pacific coast, where the landscape shifted from bustling cityscapes to serene beaches and lush mountain backdrops. The air was filled with the scent of the ocean, and I could feel the excitement building as we approached our destination. The Tweed Coast is a melting pot of surfers, artists, and free spirits, and I felt right at home among the vibrant community.

Surfing Lessons with the Pros

Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendly and enthusiastic instructors who would be guiding us through our surfing lessons. Their passion for the sport was infectious, and I couldn’t wait to hit the waves. Despite having years of experience under my belt, I was eager to learn from these incredible teachers who had a knack for making the lessons both educational and fun.

The first day was all about getting comfortable with the waves and understanding the unique conditions of the Tweed Coast. The instructors were patient and encouraging, and their expertise was evident as they guided us through each step. For those new to surfing, like some of my fellow adventurers, the instructors made sure everyone was up and riding in no time. It was a joy to see the smiles and cheers as each person caught their first wave.

Camping Under the Stars

As the sun began to set, we gathered around for an Aussie barbecue, sharing stories and laughter with new friends. The sense of camaraderie was palpable, and it reminded me of the many nights spent around campfires in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. There’s something magical about connecting with fellow surfers, sharing the highs and lows of the day’s adventures.

We spent the night camping under the stars, the sound of the ocean lulling us to sleep. It was a perfect end to a day filled with sun, surf, and new friendships. The next morning, we woke up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, ready for another day of surfing and exploration.

The Tweed Coast Surf Camp was an unforgettable experience, one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the surfing lifestyle. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time surfer, the combination of expert instruction, stunning scenery, and a welcoming community makes it a must-visit destination. Tweed Coast Surf Camp
