Surf Lessons in Noosa Qreensland

Started our Aussie holidays by 3-day surfing lessons. All other people in our group are half of my ages. The instructor, James, is very patient and pays attention to all 7 of us. We took turns to try to catch the waves (at the same time, battling with the rough broken waves and currents at the chest deep sea water in Noosa beach), of course the most important thing is to pop up on the board. Pop up involves doing a cobra, plank, then move the smart leg in the center of the board, and finally, the dumb leg to the front of the smart leg. That was not too difficcult because it is pretty much the same as Ashtanga yoga practice I have been doing for almost 8 years - we generally do 40 to 50 combination of cobra and plank in every practice. The most difficult bit is to catch the right timing when waves come, and paddle to speed up to catch the front side of the wave. Today is the second day of daily 2 hour surfing lesson, from 9 to 11am. We figured it is a bit too much to do it 3 days in a row, we asked for a break, resume the last class on Monday. Noosa head is the traditional East coast Aussie's holiday destination. Clean street, warmish weather (it is close to the winter now, early morning and evening are still cold), lots of nice tree, green bushes on the side walk, fancy restaurants and cafe, fashion shops (people always want to shop). But however fancy the restaurants, the food all tastes average. The ingredients might all come from the same supermarkets we bought our foods from. No comparison and no requirement, everyone is happy with the average food. Where is the food culture (crying)?
