Manly is a great little surf town

Manly is technically a suburb of Sydney. It would be tough to live there and have to drive into downtown everyday because the traffic clogs the roads. So most people take the ferry which takes 45 minutes and has wifi. On the weekends, the Sydney crowds come and flood the beaches and surf breaks. But during the week, the place was pretty quiet and very charming:

The beach has surf, good diving, and a nice promenade:

Graham took us to a killer little surf shop with super high quality boards and wetsuits:

A few custom Takayamas that had me drooling:

And some Christenson twinnies:

Overall, Cam and I felt very at home in Manly and could even see ourselves living there one day.
