Thoughts

I have foiund this subject quite fun, i have learnt a lot of new things, i like it because it is a mad bludge and the stuff that we are doing is appropriate to us (not appropriate for our dgree) however still appropriate to us. Matt is a cool dude and a good lecturer which has also influenced my perspective on the subject.

Waterskiing

Waterskiing is another very big hobby in Forster, my family does not own a boat therefore we don't do it too often howveer im always more than happy to tag along with my mates, which is awesome fun.

Camping

This picture was taken at the end of our HSC exams when we were burning our books. This is a typical night where we would camp on the beach and quite often get very drunk at the same time.

Scuba Diving

I got my open water level scuba ticket when i was in year 10, i then progressed on to get my advanced ticket when i was in year 11. From this i began helping out my dive master for work cleaning boat hulls and helping instruct diving courses.

Surfing and Body boarding

Although I was never really any good at Surfing or body boarding, i really enjoyed having a go, especially on little waves with a long board. Surfing is a massive hobby for some people living in Forster, and is quite often a stop for professionals for leisure and competition.

Spearfishing

I also done a lot of spearfishing when I was younger, It is fun and you get a free feed of fish if your lucky. Quite often we would go out spearfishing in the afternoon and cook what we catch for dinner. Mostly small fish but occasionally decent size fish, lobsters and abalone.
