Where do you go surfing when Qld has a public holiday and NSW doesn't on a Monday. Road trip over the boarder .These shots were taken somewhere between Kingscliffe and Arrawarra NSW.

With an early morning high tide it was a 4am start . Three cars set off at half hour intervals racing down the Northern NSW coastline and the mobile phones ran hot until we found our spot a deserted beach break with no one out.

At 9am the tide was right for an epic session. The Rat Pack crew consisted of Azza on his custom 8-5 Gambler (white deck) Bretty on another Custom Gambler 8-8 (Bob Marley deck) Myself , Rosco & McGuff on the Coreban Weapon Of Wave Destruction 8-11 Lithium (white & timber deck) & Clarky on the sweetie Pie Gerry 8-11 (blue bottom)

All the boys just ripped it up we got home at 6pm , absolutely rooted .We came came home along the coastline snapping pics at all the different breaks. It was blowing westerly and bloody freezing. The offshore breeze was ripping the early morning fog off the face of the 3 to 4 foot waves. Mother nature at it's best.

Hope you enjoy.

Nice trip by the look of the shots.

What Coreban board were you riding, as you looked like you were leaving some sick lines behind you.

What dimensions is that white board?

Thanks Jan , enjoying the board.

Wazza the white/timber board was the new Coreban Lithium 8-11 x 29 x 4-1/2 at 120 litres , great board just love it. Heaps of rocker and nose lift and tail rocker. We had two of them with different fin sets , one with stock fins the other with the Jamie Mitchells. So we could swap over and compare.

If you look at this photo we ran the centre fin right back on the stock set and forward on the JM's. The JM's had a bit too much base width stiffing up the board , the tail is so narrow and thin in it needs smaller fronts to let release. The JM's work much better on fatter tails.

Great shots boys. You guys don't mind charging the big stuff ... and blowing bubbles!

Those Gamblers look nice - where are they made?

Azza is a local boy and shapes the Gamblers.He has a clubby background shaping the 18 footer prone Molokai boards. Only been into Sups for a couple of years and is ripping it too bits.

I lived there for a while and I'd reckon you stopped at a particularly fast lookout, was a little too unmanagable (and eerily foggy) and then went a bit further to find the place you surfed. Nice spot.

On the way home you stopped through a place with some big rocks and Oxen to check it all out.

How far off the money am I?
