It is a sad day, we write our last blog.  The journey has been amazing. We have driven almost the entire east coast of Australia. Surfed more breaks in 2 weeks than I think I have ever surfed in one period of time. And had nothing but good adventures everyday. Road trips are the ultimate surfing adventure. You are doing nothing but trecking around looking for the best waves. You don’t really know what you are going to find around the corner. Sometimes you score when and where you expect it. And sometimes the places you think are going to be going off aren’t and you find an amazing wave where you least expect it. Surfing new waves every day really helps your surfing you constantly have to adjust to something new. And its always nice when a cool local shows you a thing or two at their break like what waves are the good ones and where to sit in the line up.
Over the last two weeks we all became close and really got to know each other. We were all pushing each other with our surfing in the water and creatively with music, artwork and photography outside of the water. We had such a unique blend of people I don’t think we could have possibly hoped for a better crew. Not to mention our photographers Ryan and Zaz and filmer Sonny were the best guys ever to travel with and captured this trip better than anyone else could have. We all got along great and when the weather was bad and the road got to us all we stuck together and had fun and found other cool things to do.

“So it’s my last day with the girls in coolangatta, packing up my boards and luggage, putting an end to this amazing road trip, as I look around the apartment that we are staying in, Jen continues to play the ukulele, Kass prepares a good healthy breakfast, and Lyndsay stretches on the yoga mat. These girls are truly amazing people, in every way, artistically and athletically.

Surfing with such an eclectic group of girls has been inspiring, from The world champ herself Jen Smith, to the Most stylish Noserider Kassia Meador, and then you have the freakishly good Grom Leanne Curren, and the all round Ripper Lyndsay Noyes

Thanks Roxy for making this trip possible, thank you girls for being a part of my life and thank you Australia for having me.

Bring on the next road trip Europe here we come. Xo” Candice

So the last day of the trip the waves weren’t the best so we decided to go to this waterfall in the mountains. It was raining pretty hard, so when we rocked up the fall was flowing full force. The air was really cold because we were really high up in the Australian mountains. We threw on our wetties and had to get down in the water and check it out, being the adventurous crew we are. Water is the strongest element in nature and being there feeling all the energy around us we couldn’t help but feel alive. This was a perfect ending to a very unique trip.
Thanks for joining us on this incredible adventure. Hope this inspired you to get a few friends together pack up the car and head our on your own road trip. Who knows what you will find. Now we are off to the gold coast to watch the best female shortboarders in the world battle it out at snapper rocks for the Roxy Pro. xoxo
