Monday morning I landed in Sydney at 6 AM, fresh off a red-eye flight and a whopping 1.5 hours sleep. We picked up 10 massive boxes of Samudra product and promo gear in Zane's (Samudra East coast contact who will hopefully be moving out to Dunsborough soon) Land Rover. We spent the day in Manly (Sydney suburb) with Zane's family and then Zane left at 6 AM the next morning to make the 10 hour drive north to Byron Bay, a mini Hawaii. Sydney was interesting- it was a major shock to go from super-rural coastal Dunsborough into a major city... I definitely know which I prefer and its not the concrete jungle. Today we worked our way north from Byron, eventually finishing off on the Gold Coast in Surfer's Paridise, which is very Miami-esque, with massive high rise buildings along the shorline. We saw several new accounts today and all of them are frothing (stoked) on the Samudra products, which is awesome! In one of the shops, I happened upon a book co-written by my amazing Auntie Evelyn- You are world famous! :) This is going to be an incredibly successful trip. Tomorrow we're hoping to score some waves early right out in front of the hotel before heading north to Kirra and on to Brisbane, where the first David Wolfe event will take place on Friday. Big action is happening!
