South coast photos

Just back from south coast NSW... and saw that Camo Hosk was asking about Pambula. Here a few pics from two days ago, late in the day. No SUP action in the photos, as I was the only stroker around and was behind the camera.

Went out shortly after these photos, for a dusk session, and hooked into some good ones. Unfortunately on my last wave decided to ride it into the closeout and ended up being slammed down on my fins, on my back. Board must have flipped and I came down with the lip. Ouch!

Next morning was feeling pretty sore, but Merimbula Bar was firing so had 2 1/2 hours mid morning (together with 20 of my closest friends, lol - no other stand-ups out), but have been paying for it ever since. Had to pull the pin on the trip, leaving beautiful weather and the Bar still working, as I think I may well have joined Phill and others on the broken ribs casualty list. About to go get some x-rays to see what the damage is. Really hoping no breaks, as I am going to go insane if I can't get some water time over the next few weeks, with late Feb and March being the best surfing time in Vicco IMO.

Hi Ross
Wow pambula is cranking some of the best photo's I have seen there for a long time, your session
must have been epic apart from the close out.
Best wishes Ross and hope it's nothing serious and thanks for posting the pics .hope we score waves like this at the 30th Mambo.

Hope to see you for some waves soon.

hey doggie yeah surfed the bar twice that day it was a east south east swell and the bar was heaps bigger !!!!!! the rivo looks epic but its pretty much a close out most of the time . did meet a south african supper who is from goldy riding a starboard who recons he knew jacko ! he watched a session i had lunch time wedensday 4 to 6 ft bar 8 out .iwas only sup!. takin the big kegs , the local boys are finially giving resect plus i call them into sets early . havent seen or heard off the boys of any other sups in the waves last week ! but i surfed wed thurs fri first thing then the 1 till 3.30 shift . got an apprentice who surfs with me and we swap sup for shortboard its like having a caddy . spins crew out one minute your hitin lips on a sup then your getin shacked on a 6/3 shorty ANY WAY ITS BEEN EPIC AND UNCROWED > EXCEPT FRIDAY WHEN SWELLDROPPED A BIT AND MID MORN THE MAL LATTE SET HIT IT ! check ya stevo.

I was out at the Bar Thurs morning - but didn't hit the water until 9:30, so as to avoid the pre-work crew. So must have missed Bournda.

Hi Rosco,

Sorry to hear about the trip over the falls and having to cut the adventure short. I hope you have not done the ribs as it can be a really long recovery.

I surfed yesterday on my shortboard sup for 2-3 hours and woke up this morning looking for a nursing home to check into. I guess it must be 6+ months down the track and they are still giving me curry.

Great photos how did the board perform in the hollow waves?

Fast recovery Rosco!
