How do you start your day?
For many Aussie’s, it’s checking out the surf.
This is Bells Beach on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria. The surf was good and lots of guys and girls were out on their boards. I always think if surfing as a young person’s game, but it is a lifestyle and people of all ages participate.
Bells Beach is the home of the world’s longest-running surfing competition – the Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival, an annual event which began in 1961.
The final scene in the 1991 film Point Break starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, is set at Bells Beach, although the scene was not actually filmed here.
I will have to look for that movie. Patrick Swayze was a great actor! 🙂 Have you seen the movie Soul Surfer?

That’s just down the road from me. 🙂 But I’ve never surfed. It’s on the bucket list, though.

I never had surfing on my bucket list, but I do love watching them at our beaches. These are beautiful shots. When I start my day, the first thing I need is good coffee. 🙂
