Mate. I was raised on Bondi Beach, I now live in the USA. It is a shame you did not hook up with some locals. Yes, Bondi Beach can look like a lake some times, but it is not known for its waves, it is the way the bay is situated that prevents it from getting huge waves! You needed to walk around to the next bay - Tamarama or Bronte etc. You could have even drove down south an hour or two to Wollongong. I am just saying you had so many choices and opportunities you didn't take advantage of.
