Sorry no photos from me, but there was a nice clean swell today, with barely a breath of wind, and the tiny bit of wind was offshore.

Suitably stuffed after 3 hours in the water! (the green face is the contented look ! )

Anyone get some pics ??

Yet to break my PRK virginity, would love to tomorrow if conditions allow. I have to be at work first thing but could potentially be at PRK by 9. Didn't get a wave in last week and am itching to get out this weekend. Fingers crossed I guess, that the work and weather act together in my favour

3 things are not right for a good PRK....not much of a low tide.... it may be getting windy....& the sand has gone.

shush Dean, I want Danger to myself again in the morning.[}:)]
I wish I had a camera during our first session this morning, some of those right handers were sweet.

Scored today as well. Second Reef, incoming tide, just three of us gorging on endless sets. I don't know where the crowds were. Wasn't worried though. The 2 blokes I was with kept trying to go deeper and both ended up trashing boards. Fortunately Oke was on the way home to drop the battered boards in for surgery. Now bring on next Thursday!
Hey Paul, saw your beloved 12'6" pin at Oke. It's ready for our next Beacon assault.

That's weird, I called them late in the day and they said it wouldn't done until next week.

How did the big bloke go today?

I only saw it sitting on the stands ( maybe waiting to be polished?)

The Russian wasn't able to come, but I think he met a few of the guys at Dead Man's Cove for an early this morning. He's sooo keen!
