Hoping to find stories of stoke or carnage about yesterday...
Wind was good, and swell was absolutely massive - biggest it's been for years. Some real heart starters coming through.
Yesterday more than made up for all those windless 40 degree days, yet didn't seem to be many crew out.
Did you get some?
Still grinning,
Late session Thursday at the spot as the swell arrived. Followed by a down winder back to Coros. On the water at 9:00am the next. Too many waves for one man - gluttony is all I will say.
Just waiting now at 7:00am for the coffee to brew before another feast.
25kn plus, 4m swell waves everywhere going left ,right and plenty of boosting off big ramps on the way out. Great session in gero with the Radman
Huge day at Horrocks... 30 knots plus a super heavy swell. Pretty scary with so much water moving around. Never made it all the way out through the break. Had to keep turning around when another avalanche threatened to engulf me.
Swell still up today, but more settled. Hopefully we will get some wind this arvo.
Awesome downwinder - Lano to Wedge
8 kiters in total, lots of big swells and big grins
Only one stop on the beach whilst one of the crew untangled lines.
Oh and in case anyone is wondering we had a first aid kit, mobile, water, hats, spare pump and a driver at Wedge to collect anyone
The lads smashed out another Lanno to Wedge downwinder. A few of the boys rode strapless.
I won't say how big it was at the outer reefs, as the keyboard heros will have something to diss.
Biggest waves I have riden in 5 years anyway.
Pulled up sore this morning.
Edit: hey Swinging, you beat me to it.
Yep Lano to Wedge was epic, swell breaking miles out to sea the whole way.
A well earned beer out of the wind.

Yep had an awesome sesh south of perth by myself yesterday, no mates ;) good swell :) definitely made the most of the last 2 days.. Have that soreness that's actually a nice feeling and the beers tasted even better last night
Early session at point Moore before it started to close out then downwind from drummonds cove to corro, going deep and slaying dragons all the way, well over mast high close outs and long punchy rides on the inside. No sight of anybody all the way, props to my downwind buddy a true slayer of giants.
THEN corro was going off nicely out back, the bar has been raised and what I considered big before is just a walk in the park!
GERO all time yeeew
Had an awesome sesh north of Perth, creased my board 3/4 of way into it and managed to ride the rest of the sesh out.. Yew!! Aching all over today but still smiling!
Was really good, some massive boost's and first backroll transitions! Yeeee
That's on river tho with Mr. Universal and others:)
Another cracker Lano to Wedge yesterday... And possibly a new record for longest ever self-rescue....Trying to outrun moster wave, loose rail, drop kite, kite inverted try flying kite inverted which now has the flight potential of a one winged retarded albtross.... Finally give up and hack the 1-1.5km self rescue.
Thanks to the awesome crew. Stayed eith me sll the way, waited on the beach with me and assisted with the chinese line tangle puzzle. Think i still owe a couple cartons for that one!!
Totally jealous.
Have not seen anything above 1 foot since, er "whenever" on the south east coast of Australia.
Oh a Lano to wedge DW and you didn't post on the internet you were going .Did you have GPS EPERB PHONES BACK UP 4x4 and boat ?????? WOW You guys are radical!!!!! i don't know how you did it ?????? FARK !!!!! AMAZING ..... NOT >>>> P.S. I am a bit jelous though... Tee Hee
Too cool - great stories.
Juddy hope u r still good for the LOC??? DNS = Carton of Corona
Underoath what happened to the invite :(
I was out at Lancelin as well. Had a good sesh with some MASSIVE waves in the back. I'm not brave/good enough to tackle those badboys just yet but it was fantastic to watch all you nutcases shredding those waves apart!
All and all a good day full of boosting and learning new transitions.
Saw a dude get dragged over the beach and slam face first into the sand dunes. I'm sure some other guys at lano's would have seen it... Does anyone have any further info on how it exactly happened and if he's ok?
