I was in Botany Bay and got in a good 20mn before it hit: I was getting electric shocks in my bar all the way through my body till my board each time I was landing. Not exactly enjoyable... I now feel like I'm fully charged...
The drive back turned out to be a lot scarier than my session tho... I didn't want to believe that Sydney gets more rain than London... l now know it's true. It's just that it comes down all at once...
