In the last 5 days Ive had 3 really fun sessions. And that could have doubled if I didnt have a wife and 2 kids to entertain
If you keep an eye on the tide you will score a ZERO SWELL surf and with no crowds
Yes it is possible if your willing to think outside of the square you live in.
Here are some photos I took with my phone.
Tomorrow Miller and I are in search of some more ZERO SWELL surf. Wish us luck and I might take a few photos

Hey Greenie
I have been zeroing as well the last six nights, just came in from one. Last Thursday night there was a little pulse of swell as the period picked up and found a great little channel at the beachies. Zeroed at the photo place on Sunday

Hey Twimby. Yeah this ZERO swell sucks huh
Tomorrow morning should be fun if your keen?
Super high tide could mean that a number of spots will have waves

Thinking of you after surfing all day and having a Bintang on the beach after paddling in from airport reef.



Been small but fun

Thanks to Pete from SupBali for taking Jenkz and I up the coast yesterday. Swell Friday so another trip may be on. Impossibles may be the go

Nice paddle this morning with Wok but coped the board in the ribs hope no serious issues, ice and Bintang this arvo no late bash

Oh did I mention no wetsuits

Windy have you braved the cold since getting back?

skipped work today and scored some fun at your X local, with Greeny.

the sun came out, so it wasn't too cold, not bad for 1m swell.

I got out for a paddle today as well but after spending the last couple of weeks in Mauritius I did not enjoy the cold.
Been living in boardies for two weeks, only put the rashie and booties on for a bit of protection from the sun and the coral.
I made the mistake of not taking a SUP and hiring one over there, which was ok but I could only use it at Le Morne, so had to revert to surfing my little kite board when we went on trips up the coast.

Thought I would throw in this shot of me on my 5'9" kite board, I have enough trouble these days on a 6'6" surfboard but going from a SUP to this was no fun at all.

Did you hear me do the seagull noise when all 4 goat boaters paddled for the one wave? We all had a laugh
