@Subasurf:

I reckon I was about 100m south of where you were: That little kid in your first pic charged a couple that were well and truly approaching 2x over his head... (and made the drop on most of them).

That first pick is a girl, with a pony tail ;-)
Her dad was helping her by pushing her into the waves. Was lots of fun for them and great fun to film.

Snuck in one last surf for the year today with a new 'breezer for a decky. My long time stalker Buster fin, and funnily enough he managed to hit the reef with one of his fins.

There was a light onshore blowing but it was still pretty good. Only took the one pic of him on a smaller wave, the sets were half this size again.

Yeah mate, he kept asking me if I reckon I got the shot. Wish I'd seen him in the carpark afterwards so I could get his email. Would have loved to given that little girl copies of all the pics. She'd have been stoked I reckon.

I don't want to Buster. I don't mind the odd still shot but I don't like video, it gives too much away. Anyway, you're back at work so it looks like I'll be on my own again for a while.

Smaller than expected this morning, few fun ones enjoyed by a handful of keen surfers

Went out at 5.30 this morning and was pretty disappointed. Will have a look at Cott this afternoon after I've sold my car
(Hopefully)

I excitedly scooted on down for a session this arvo. Ended up doing a road trip and still couldn't get the excitement back after seeing what was on offer to how many.

Crowds too big? Opted to film in the water instead. Some very decent waves at the most popular spot in perth....shark alarm and all

perfect conditions for one of my favourite waves, plenty out but still got my quota at three different locations. I'll post one crappy pic just for those that couldn't get out today due to various reasons

Had a wave with the rest of Perth today, was the most crowded I have seen where I normally surf, that was not the entire problem though, the general attitude out there was pretty average!

Unbelievable - drop in's, snakes and general "ill vibe" in the water, had to really mellow out to avoid being sucked into it.

I have surfed there when it has been pretty crowded before and everyone was pretty chilled out and doing the righty, the circus was in town today!

Still had fun and enjoyed myself, hard not to when you are surfing in boardies and its offshore with swell early in January!

I can't believe the lack of manners of some of the guys who were out there yesterday.

Some guys will just paddle straight out and sit deeper than you when you've been sitting out the back for half an hour waiting for the set waves and then when you do get a set wave you've got half a dozen guys who don't know how to get out of the way in the way.

I'm going to start asking these guysif they have any manners and if a set wave comes, I'm dropping in on them which is something I'd prefer not to do.

Offshore and swell on the weekend is the new onshore
The time you want to avoid
Sometimes it's just not worth it
Sure we all want to go for a wave but if it's going to do your head in I'd rather go do something else
Hang in there people

Oh, and I forgot to mention, there were guys fishing from the groyne and casting across where people were surfing including some 8 year old kids.

They got asked if they would stop fishing across the surfers and they suggested the surfers move down the beach even though the surfers were there first. When they were casting out their sinkers were sometimes landing no more than a foot away from the surfers.

It was the most obnoxious behaviour I've ever seen other than SUPper's snaking everyone...

It's a good reflection of society today isn't it
Lack of tolerance and respect for anyone

Just got home from two weeks down south at Albany. Mostly surfed Mutton Bird. No huge but fun and the biggest crowd was one day I had both kids with me

Spent the entire time almost with tyres at only 20 pound. SUP surfed the very small days and let me say that is a workout.

Might brave the crowd tomorrow.
