The pursuit of our interests can take us to so many places and expose us to so many different situations.
Sports, in particular freestyle sports, often have the ability to take us to places that most people only dream about.
My name is Jordan and I'm in search of an adventure, though I'm trading winter in Adelaide for a sunny 27 degrees further north.
I'm off to spend three weeks travelling down the Queensland coast from Port Douglas to the Gold Coast with PKRA world champion and all-round nice guy Andy Yates.
Now we're just heading south and we're at Incomon Hill, which is usually a sick paragliding spot but there's no wind so we're going from Rexlokat to Windy, going to die to this, not even get up off the ground.
So it's pretty finicky but that's just paragliding. Got to roll with the bad conditions better to just be safe and fly another day.
We did a pre-mission drive down south. We're at my home beach, this is actually where I grew up, where I was a froth and grommy every morning before school and after school I'd be a chubby serpent.
Whenever I can I try and get home here for Townsville and just get as many waves as I can because obviously there's no waves up in Townsville.
We're back in town.
We're back in town.
We're back in town.
We're up on Sunshine Beach. It's just near Nusa on the Sunshine Coast.
Now this is attempt number three, paragliding. Lucky three, we've had, haven't had the best of luck but I think it's going to be good.
I'm a little bit nervy, got the butterflies going because I haven't actually flown here before so I need to get up there.
Pretty sure this is where I want to be but I guess until I'm up in the air I don't know really what's going to happen so...
I hope for the best day.
There's a lot of people down there.
We're back in town.
We just landed here at Sunshine Beach.
It had a pretty good fly. The wind I'd say was just right for here.
I'm not exactly an expert here. It's my first time flying it but it seemed pretty good.
It seemed like I had the right amount of wind and just cruised around, floated around. Just got to change up from what we've been getting, kiting and surfing and cable and what not.
So it's good to just hang out there and take in all the view. I've got a nice view of Alexandria Bay and then Nusa heads around the corner.
There you go, how's that? Comfy, eh?
So we're going to my favourite spot in the world, Clan of Roofmounds. We've picked up Matt. Did you see Matt?
I'm a bit squished in here. Introduce yourself. I'm Matt Buchanan. I'm very squished in the back of the car.
Always running out of short views, baby camera one. When I try to take the right path, don't leave me here. I just want to get up to a good start this year.
This is me putting one good foot forward. This is me just set back to our plan, cause I don't know what fight I'm losing.
We got a long road here before us, but I've already packed my bags. We won't take for granted the things we have.

I'm Matt Buchanan and we're at Landry's mouth today. It's looking alright, it'll be a bit of fun. Me and Andy, we're about to go out for a session.
I started scootering at 12. It was downhill from there. It was downhill from there. You're on. I'm not ready.
This morning started pretty early. Me and Andy were up in Adam about 6 o'clock. Took a while to get Jordan out of bed, but we finally got there. It's going to be pretty sweet. We just found out we got about three foot of snow down the Gold Coast.
So we've got our coffee and we're off. We're here at Greenmount on the Gold Coast. We just had a pretty fun surf at Debar. Although it was a little bit smaller, some sick waves coming through. Nice shape.
This brings to the end of our road trip. We've had some fun and we're Jordan. It's been a big trip.
I just wanna get out of here and start this thing.
