I’m just back after having my bucks night before the wedding, it was actually a whole weekend where we went down the coast for a surf trip. Unfortunately I didn’t get to surf too much as a managed to dislocate my shoulder AGAIN! on the first day but we had lots of fun anyway. Check out the photo’s in my photo gallery .
I met up on Saturday morning in Geelong with Matt (my best man) and his housemate Matt, they had hired a car and we planned to go down the coast for some surf before meeting up with the rest of the guys to hit the town later. We stopped at the factory shops in Torquay on the way and had a quick not very good surf before getting down to Lorne and checking in to our surprisingly nice backpackers. After unloading some stuff we headed down to one off Matt’s favourite surf breakes and it looked quite alright even if it got fairly close to the rocks as it was low tide. We headed out with the other Matt staying on the rocks taking photos, Matt got the first two waves before I found my first one, I had a good ride but just as I pulled off I instinctively grabbed my board to get back out faster, unfortunately I grabbed it with my dodgy left arm and as I went down my arm was pulled up and that was it, off to the hospital with a dislocated shoulder. 3hours, $150 and some crazy drugs later I was back into action and we went to Lorne hotel to meet up with the rest of the guys who had now made it down. We had a nice dinner and continued the night downstairs at the Pub, the doctor had assured me that there was no problems for me to drink a bit after the drugs but that I would probably fall asleep after two beers. I proved him terribly wrong a lasted till 2am when the pub closed and then back to the backpackers to watch Swedens first depressing game of the world cup, 0-0 against Trinidad and Tobago (I have to admit that I fell asleep a while during second half though) and going to bed around 4am. The next day we went for a drive down the coast, Matt went for a surf and I took photos before heading back home. Even though not everything went as planned it was a good weekend and luckily it is a long weekend so I don’t go back to work until Wednesday so my shoulder should be sort of allright by then (I’m off buying a strap for it tomorrow…)
