Bondi Splice…..

Wow what a wonderful winter weekend in Bondi. (And no W is not my favourite letter).....  I had my first experience of surfing and outdoor ice skating in the same day - ‘the Bondi Splice’.  In the past I’d heard about people being able to do that in California and even Europe (in the winter months of course) but on Saturday I did it right here on Bondi Beach!  Well, I actually have to thank my 8 year old….She dragged me kicking and screaming onto that ice rink - as children have the ability to make you do things you really don’t want to do (but that’s a whole other story)….

Anyhoo, …I was competing in the monthly Bondi Girls Surfriders Comp from 7.30-12.30 on Saturday .... in longboard and shortboard divisions.... (I like to make the most of it!).  Then after that, I went ice skating...and guess what....it was fun!  The air was warm, there was a real buzz and watching the waves, whales and dolphins as you skate around was inspiring!!  Plus it was an all round work out - arms while surfing and legs whilst skating - (which is really only a good thing these days!)

Yep gotta admit it.... I love Bondi!.......
