I bought Eli a boogie board for Christmas this year, so we made sure that once we got to Noosa that we made a few early morning and late afternoon visits to the surf beach (in truth we're probably starting to outgrow the sandbank trips a bit, so it is time to start tackling the waves).
As I had anticipated, Eli took straight to it and was even 'happy' getting splashed in the face (I was a bit worried that he'd use his favourite 'sensitive eyes' line). Here are some videos of Eli carving it up on the child-friendly Noosa swell.
Not every wave took him all the way to the beach and he did get spectacularly dumped on one occassion - fortunately Grandma was filming so we can all enjoy it here...
In addition to catching waves, Eli also really enjoys waiting in the shallows and get knocked over as the waves roll in. Here's a photo of Eli and I, waiting to get knocked over, without watching the waves.
Of course Eli still likes building sandcastles (some of which now include him as a feature) and having the occassional running race on the beach too...
...there's always plenty to do on our beach trips and we always come home exhausted.
