Made it home. Fun weekend not many waves up there today, swell was missing it Few little lines at Crescent but fairly crowded and not worth it. Michael and OB should get anew this afternoon at Woopi
Good fun surf late yesterday arvo, Michael and OB had a great surf, both of them got some very long rides on the Munozs.
Good days surfing yesterday glad I went and met the boys. I'll post a few photos later if I can, or maybe I'll draw a picture
sweet mate - hey did the DUDE turn up with you guys I read MR saying something about it yesterday
Cheers SP
thanks for the pics sp. i am with daneli..could have had some fun on those sliders with a big board....now tell us some stories mate
Sorry for neglecting you all, I have only one excuse, MR and I have been surfing our freaking tits off, no poop boys and girls, we're wrapped in this uncrowned surf deal, we're going out in crap that the locals ignore and we're having a ball.
I've had to ban MR from using the 10.6 Munoz, he's having far too much fun and I'm jealous.
Nothing at PP this morning so we went to Arra and got there while the contest was still on in reasonable surf, we didn't want to go in while the heats were on so we went back to woopi and set up camp then went back after lunch.
We got there as they were doing the presentations and I'm happy to report that RG bagged a few trophies.
We then went out and had the point all to ourselves for an hour and i got to cross two more items off my bucket list, firstly, I got to see a sea turtle and secondly, I saw a good size eagle ray do a full breach jump in front of me.
When we came back in we had a bit of a chinwag with RG, he reckons that earlier that day, the woopi club members had to rush down the beach to break up a fight between two fishermen who had a dispute over how boats should be landed.
I was so busy talking I forgot to tie one of the boards on and lost the noserider on the highway. Not sure how much damage was done but I'm just happy it wasn't my beloved 10.6.
MR had some very urgent family business to attend to up at the goldy so he made a dash for it while I stayed in woopi. It's good to finally have a hot shower and a decent feed up at the pub. The steak sambo was a giant.
MR is going to be very busy up on the goldy, but I know he would love to see you guys if he gets a chance.
If you're visiting the SDR emporium, make sure you post when you'll be there, I think he'd like to take a sneak peek at the beer garden machine if the opportunity presented itself.
Sorry lads, no pics yet, I haven't got a thingo to connect the camera to the iPad, but will try to get one tomorrow.
Was disappointed to have to leave OB at Woopi, especially after he lost the Arrow off the roof, perhaps because he was too rushed to get me back tp from Arra to Woopi so I could get on the road. I was planning to stay there at Woopi, but my son is pretty crook and has just moved in to a new apartment in Southport, so I'm helping hm get it set up. I drove for almost 5 hours, had some nosh, then put his new bed together so I have somewhere to sleep here, as opposed to camping out in the van.
It was great to meet some of the lads. A shame Ted and Prawnhead had to leave earlier than expected, and the Dude was there, but didn't get to tell him about Rhonda Rottenbox unfortunately. that Bennett classic single fin Prawnhead took to PP was an absolute pearler.... Very stylish.
OBs largess is only surpassed by the size of his boards.... I rode the 10'6" Munoz, and the 10' Pearson Arrow. Loved the Munoz, but not so much the Arrow, maybe it might be better in a smoother surf, but it was tricky in the NE slop we had this arvo.
So, I'm on the Goldy until Thursday night, Friday morning and whilst I'd love to get a wave with any of the Goldy crowd, time may prove a problem. It may be easier to grab a beer after work though, or a cheapy meal. PM me if you feel like it.
I'd also love to see the Beer Garden board in the flesh, or on the water before I get back on the road.
Thanks Lads, a good weekend indeed.
Nice work MR .... I was rapt to hear the DUDE rocked up , spewing it was a bit early for me to get over , another month or so and I'd have been all over it.
Obs I bloody hope the Pearson isn't shot to shankas brother , rotten luck mate .... and Ted hope all is ok on the home front too buddy ..... shizz Perth is too far away too farken isolated here eh???
Longboard Greenroom is still the one
So what happened,I heard a couple had to bail and the Dude showed up classic.
So where are all the bloody pictures.
I'll be meeting up with MR this week for a surf,coffee,beers and BBQ .
Hey Mr, I fly back into Brisbane late Friday night so I will probably miss you this time. If you head up to see your son again, let us know. Who knows, maybe by then I will have learned to surf. Hope the boy is feeling better soon.
Hey jet setter Saturday's BBQ early surf is the time to meet MR, he mite even sign something for you Kadi unlike the Bob McT dude
