A day trip out of Geelong led to Bells Beach, a renowned surf beach some 100kms south-west of Melbourne, on the Great Ocean Road near the town of Torquay. Bells Beach is named after John Cavert Bell of the family that first took up a pastoral run there in the 1840s. (credit Wikipedia)
It was a blustery, grey day, but the avid surfers were having a glorious time.
Surprisingly, the sand on the shore was not the usual bright white colour one associates with Australian beaches.
Oops! Maybe Surfing "Down Under" ??!
. . . and this cute fellow caught my eye as I walked back up from the observation deck to the car park!

You got some good action shots there. Not an activity that appeals to me though, I might stand and photograph them from dry land.
Love the sea but only from the shore. Lots of action going on there.
It looks great - I wish I had learnt how to surf when I was younger - now I can only admire it!
Beautiful photos. They look like they are having fun but it's not something I can ever do myself.
Every day is a good one when you're surfing. Lovely shots.
I've never surfed but I rather envy the exhilaration they must feel. Have a fabulous week and thank you for stopping by my blog last week.
