Swell jumped overnight to a 4-8 meter SE swell with a 12-16 sec period. It caught me out as have been to slack to fix a busted fin plug in my gun and had to nurse my lightweight 8' 4". There will be some epic sessions in a few spots.

South Narra tow ins this morning:

I heard about that apparently him and Marty (Last SPSC comp winner) went out next to the pool with the dead whale in it and got covered in slippery blubber.

No so you can paddle in em more easily and have better vision. A lot of the tow guys here now SUP the same waves they used to tow. Big waves = more manageable - on SUP compared to prone IMO.

Totally - and you can paddle the hell out of the impact zone faster, when required.

Had a sick session out the bommie a little cross wind but so fun of the 10,6 gun ripper,first time I have ridden it. So had to learn quick,so smooth on the bigger waves.
Just miss Tommy by minutes but when I got to shore I saw him catch a few sick ones on a massive gun,he ripps. Hope the swell holds in for tomorrow. Later freaks

Good to see you got your priorities right.
You can study any day of the week - but the swell's not always pumping.
OUT THERE GROM.

Respectfully Greg........my definition of a grom is a young guy charging and having a go. Where the hell did you get the impression I was questioning his ability ?

Insane session this morning at my local slab. One of those days where no one wants the set waves, was a like a wave machine, got so smashed but also got the best SUP barrel of my life
