Pity it didnt quite live up to the hype, and went onshore a bit earlier than expected!
I took a drive to one of the best kept secret spots in Perth and was very surprised to find the lack of SUPs in the water, was I in the wrong spot????
Not that I was complaining, got more than my fair share of waves. It was the first time Ive taken the trip and was happy to find the fact a comp was on is no reason not to paddle out. Even better was the fact a party wave was not frowned apon. I got into the swing of it before long and made my self at home.
Just thought I better thank Waveslave for the visa to enter his territory. Cheers...
I tried out a new spot and had a wave all to myself yesterday! Tide was a little high but its got potential. Got spooky all on my lonesome though!!!! Felt like my Exmouth downwinder all over again. Was even talking to myself. (crazy alert eh!)
So where the hell was everyone! Checked a few places but not a paddler to be seen anywhere!!!!! All I wanted was a bit of paddle company. Think I went the wrong direction. i even went to your holiday house to see if you were in Hilly! We def couldn't have paddled there. Massive.
Anyone up for a early Wednesday morning session somewhere?
Or how about instead of making us all extremely jealous and getting uncrowded waves during the week you get jobs! Especially you Belly, not only are you not working but buying new boards as well, you make me sick. Alternatively you could all buy a bunch of tv airtime, help me get budget and then i can come join you.
This is what happened to the buoy off Kangaroo Island Sunday as the predicted swell hit - 3m -10m in afew hours.
2ft - 6foot on the south coast in a few hours
The swells just keep coming - early start to winter patterns over here
Yep, count me in for Wed, day off....just let me know where you are thinking of heading to.
May be able to sneak one in Tuesday afternoon. Finish school late though so might miss the boat. What time is sunset these days?
Got to get in as much water time as I can before I sell my board. Don't know when Ill get my next one so might have withdrawals.
Ha ha. Small wave hate eh Hilly!!!!
Mulla's rarely has good banks anyway. I haven't had a chance to get out at those other spots yet..... Have been wondering, blast from the past! Haven't surfed there since I was learning in high school. Used to get smashed on the reef because I couldn't duck-dive my oversize, yellow stained, crappy first surfboard properly. I loved that board. Hot Brewz.
Might see what the forecast looks like before I make my mind up. Greenie is good at making calls. He he. Winner last time.
Sorry Hilly will refraze... Some rideable waves
Only surf them because it takes me all of about 1 minute to be down there and in the water..
No names of coarse
Yeh same Rez will wait till tomorrow night look at the forcast and decide
Belly
Belly and I are heading to Never You Mind about 2pm tomorrow
If the forecast doesnt come true then we have a backup plan.
Hilly might be joining us? Try and hook up with Hilly Rez. He might be able to help with transport?
Laurie might be coming too. Im just waiting for him to reply.
Had a tip off from a very reliable source, any truth that Doggie has been out at Triggs on his new SUP that he has bought for upcoming Bali trip?????
Haha i like talking like this better then saying the real names.. Gets the brain ticking and you never know if your gonna turn up at the right spot or not haha love it

Just to clear things up. There was a comp on, but as there were about 4 take off spots along the break i stayed well clear of the guys in rashies.
What did you think I was out there burning crew trying to run a comp? I do have a bit better form than that.
For the record, I didnt actually fade anyone. I had the paddle power to get plenty of my own waves.
I was on 8'5 Starboard pocket rocket for the guy that asked.
