Surf trip in Torquay

Here we are, the time has come to explore the surfing scene in Victoria. We headed off to Torquay, home of Australian surfing. Rip Curl, Quiksilver and a few other companies have their roots there. Torquay is a small village, 1 hour away from Melbourne. It is mostly known for Bell's beach that hosts the Rip Curl Pro every year in Easter. The first picture shows Torquay's Back Beach on a windy day: powerful waves were about 5-6 feet, not as clean as the day before. Too much current (hey, I am just a beginner !) forced me to go to the left hand side, where waves are much smaller. The second picture shows me trying to surf after a one year break. I do need more practice and that's where we came here ! One the third picture is Anne-so, taking it easy on the wind and wave free Front Beach.
