Surfed probably some of the worst conditions I have ever surfed this morning - the joys of getting one time slot a week in Winter..
High tide, next to no swell, strong side shore conditions and no banks...
Managed a couple of sliders, water temp is getting a bit chillier.
A bit of surf getting into Town Beach this morning. This pic looking from Midway to Waikanae Beach and the harbour.
Solid 3 to 4 foot sets at Midway early morning with mostly just me out. Actually got tubed on one of the big lefts at Midway which was a big buzz but more likely serendipity as no hope of abandoning ship
And at town beach again today
......thick fog.....thick waves....managed to catch a biggie out the back on my knees and lived to tell the tale
Just had a cracking 3-hour session in Westernport on the acid. Looked a bit like STC's break; half of Melbourne came for a surf...
A play at Pt Leo with the vicsup crew . Another successful wave comp done and dusted . Thanks everyone, great fun
I had a surf on Saturday at a well known spot in Westernport, classic winter day, I surf there regularly.
It was me on my mal, and 15 SUPs, I was the only guy lying down!
I have mates who bitch and moan about SUP surfers all the time, they go there thinking who are these pricks, just wrong.
Can I say I was never dropped in on, I was called into a few and had much friendly banter, great couple hours.
I would rather surf with guys and gals like that anytime, we had a ball, everyone sharing, a really good vibe.
Cheers to all out there
One of the joys of SUP that I never would have considered - seeing a good wave coming and calling someone in.
The joy on peoples faces when they know they are able to get a wave without the guessing and hassling is something you have to see to believe
Its a good way to set the tone as well, have had stinkeye surfers and other SUP'ers turn friendly real quick when you do this.
I also like watching other people on waves so its a win/win.
Crazy crowd for a winter weekday morning......was only 3 or 4 out for first 2 hours though (was cold)
Just finished a 2 week tour round the South Island of NZ.... Unreal scenery and I was ever vigilant to try and find a secret break or firing spot while we wandered around. Amazingly, The sea was smooth with nice swell on both coasts... I reckon that doesn't happen often!!
Anyway, I spied a couple of mean looking slab breaks way down south that were the home to a few seals (and prob some 'toothy' dolphins) and didn't spot anyone in the surf till I got back up to Kaikoura on the Nth East coast. What an awesome bit of coast... populated by a few hardy souls ready to rubber up to the max and get into the very cool water. I don't own enough rubber to get in there too.... No stand ups but got a few snaps of a couple of great spots....
