Quick update

Alright a quick update for our faithful readers... we honestly can't say how amazed we are to hear how often some people check our blog... very flattered. Anyways for the past week we have been hanging around in Rainbow Beach - only at a new location. We have been working a few hours each day in exchange for free accommodations at a local surf school. We get free breakfast, laundry, internet and use of surfboards/bodyboards. Which brings me to the main reason for this blog entry. Yesterday Amanda and I went out with some surfboards (soft ones - better for beginners). And much to our delight we had no problem riding the waves... but the major highlight was the fact that we both got up and rode at least one wave until the very end!!! So we are just writing to let you all know that we will be joining the Australia surf tour in the new year... haha... take care and keep warm in you -40 weather... not to brag but +36 today.

Ryan and Amanda

Not to brag my butt! We are freezing here and you guys are in shorts! We hit -31 and with the wind chill -40 Not Cool!

Anyway congrats on the surfing, it is much harder than it looks. Not that I have any experience but just thinking about trying to balance yourself on water on a board and then stand up, not gonna happen to this lady! Keep up the surfing and stay away from the sharks I hear they are bad news. love Mom
