Coolangatta

Last Sunday I went with 2 roommates (Pierrre from France and Gabby from Mexico) and another friend from Sweden to Coolangatta for the Quicksilver Roxy Pro contest, a surfing competition. We enjoyed a bit of the surfing event and hanged around a bit. Some pics:

After a bit of walking, we went to the Snapper Rocks to swim. The Snapper Rocks is a small rocky outcrop on the northern side of Point Danger at the southern end of Queensland's Gold Coast. It is a famous surf break and today the start of the large sand bank known to surfers as the Superbank. This was so cool! I loved it! The water was warm and the sun was shining. We climbed on and over the rockers, we jumped in the water, we went to different water pools, we had natural showers caused by the big waves braking on the rocks! Awesome and refreshing!

After swimming in the rock pools, we went to D-bar for a Smoothie and then we drove to the Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Club. This is a nice clubhouse with a restaurant and a terrace with a very nice view! We had a late lunch here and we enjoyed the environment.
