looking like a great day be super glassy waves by the look of things
Now i just gotta stay off the beers at my mates birthday party? Dout it
Looking real good. We've had plenty of swell the past few days, and the banks have been becoming more defined each low tide, should have some nice bars to choose from.
Look forward to seeing you all Sunday.

Just hope the wind is light enough to get the helicam in the air for some footage.
Looking forward to it, young bloke is frothing, I am hanging to see the heli cam in action again
So JB how's that local of yours looking ?? You thinking north or south palmy looks like little to no wind with small east swell so either would be on ... Any early predictions?
There is a nice bank at the corner of the road, so a possibility of setting up on the grass south of the surf club might be nice, alternatively the same car park we were at last time about 2 or 3 car park bays north of the surf club also have some nice banks. It's gonna be a low tide start with high tide after 12, they seem to be pretty big tides at the moment at the moment also, so it's gonna change a heap through out the comp (as it usually does). Swell size looks stable around 2 foot and assuming the wind stays away, the northern option will probably be more favorable as it's likely to have a little more size.
I'll swing past today a few times to see what's happening.
See you all tomorrow,
JB
Hard to tell with the onshore wind at the moment. It's pretty clear the two main banks north of the surf club would be the best go. Possibly the far north car park bay like previous comps.
JB
Definitely far north car park, looks awesome 3 key peaks to choose from. Light 2-5 knott westerly wind, glassy water. Waved nearing head high on the sets.
Yew!!!
See you all here.
JB
Awesome day - we fully snagged it with the weather, swell and wind.

Bummer!! Spent the day on Narrabeen beach at branch Nippers watching peaks firing up and down the beach all day! A couple of PB's from the young fella made it worth whilst though! Hope fully next time!!
Absolutely awesome day team,
Thanks heaps to Casso, Steve, Di, Andre and the rest of the SPSC team for an excellent day. Great food, excellent waves, perfect fun, next to no wind and slightly off shore, you can;t really ask for much more than that! Looking forward to the next one.
I've got about 580 shots to sort through but will through them up once I'm done.
JB
Yep, absolute cracker of day!
I think that was one of the best comps yet ( but we say that after every one!).
And that Palm Beach shorey is bloody lethal !!!
I agree Simon, best one yet.
Standard was very high in the good conditions and Robbie won his first heat 27 all up in the surfing.
Thanks again to Casso and the hard working crew of SPSC.
you guys are setting some high standards......I'd think your club would have to be one of, if not, the strongest in Oz?
great day.Thank you to all spsc crew.Love those shots Casso and Mat out standing
Did any one leave thongs and green rashy behind.
