No wife, No kids, and I just had 3 sessions back to back at Palmy, What a morning. Got up early to hit a really nice left off the Nth palmy SLSC, which was firing yesterday but I rode it on my shortboard. Got some awesome waves, but the wind started coming in after about an hour, so I moved down to the change sheds, and met up Roger. We had a very nice session x 2. I am totally stuffed. Here are some pics (apologies, really bad light for shooting) of some of Rogers waves and bloko (sorry I forgot your name). No pics of me again.

Ive spent the morning welding out in the shed, I'm tipping my morning wasn't quite as fulfilling as yours. Beautiful waves in a beautiful place JB!!! Thanks for the pics :)

It was actually pretty packed, but the rides were pretty long, and there was a few peaks only 100m apart and everyone was spread out.

I was riding my 8'4" Naish Hokua. Roger was on his RED fish, thin x short x wide. Dunno what Steve was riding.

Great session, had to miss yesterday, apparrently that was the pick, but hopefully this morning will bring on some crackers.

Yesterday was the biggest and the smoothest early-but SO CROWDED with prone surfers AND 10 SUPs-most I've seen out there. Late surf was good (out till dark) on the glass off and less people-it was breaking out on the buoy most of the day.

See you out there on your sub ;-).

Hi Wheels, the Blue Coreban Icon, I had the quad fin set that day I just got home from Palm beach today, and its still pumping but very very crowded now. I may head out again late today.

Hey Locco the LSDs sure look the goods.

We saw a few at Mambo and they had nice outlines and Steve was having a ball on 9'6 I think.

Nice move

Yeah Phil it's a nice board- (one of many of the LSD/Andersons that are great) took me a while to get it dialled (had a lot of trouble at first-I blamed the board-it was me).

I would like it to be slightly narrower in the tail and in the mid and a quad option-I understand those changes may occur in the next iteration-the guys doing the LSD and Simon Anderson boards are very committed to the sport and super stoked SUP surfers-so they re VERY keen to get it right and are here for the long haul.

Only disclosure is that I'm demoi'ng the board (still have a PSH and really like their equipment) and know the guys doing the boards.

PS-can't see it on the photo-but that was actually a floater and my booger wife was trying to drop in on me-I scared her off......
