Yeah that is what I am thinking re boards only have the one with me as all the others are in Indo these days. Need to add to the quiver. Had one ordered but its too similar to what I have already - so thinking of getting Tux to make me something for when its a bit bigger / windy / cold !

I will be based in the NW for now but will be keen to travel for waves. Love exploring. With a bit of notice I should be able to get where I need to get



What about one of these with a 6 x 6 x 6 glass job...pretty much covers all bases except nose riding




Real nice cutout there Tux, look forward to seeing that one finished...

Yep Kev, bloooooody windy... hope you weren't on the boat last night, check these out www.facebook.com/DashCamOwnersAustralia/photos/pcb.1090199701039669/1090199574373015/?type=3&theater

Been a wild week weatherwise here Ted , winds up to 130km/ hr , snow to 800 meters , huge swell . Mate went out couple of days ago reckons the swell was pumping ended up with a broken finger and tore off a toe nail . Had fun though .Friday and Saturday are looking good here on the northwest before it gets a bit wild again . It's probably going to be a bit more windy then you are used to .Water temp still not that bad still in the 3/2 and booties .

Few more shots of the action you missed last weekTed . Sadly Saturday looks like a nice day but not much surf around ( good for me I will be stuck at a conference in Launceston ) Sunday - Devonport River which you will see on the western bank when you sail in , preservation Bay , Midpoint Sulfur Creek , possibly Penguin reef could be on , farther west maybe Stanley beside the nut , western end Crayfish creek beach . Gunna be a fair NE wind blowing .

Thats a pretty remote spot McGuane. Surf options looked disappointing up this end of the coast this weekend so I did a brownie points trip earner and we headed down to Launceston - then visited some friends at a winery in the Tamar Valley. Great weekend. Managed to find myself a nice warm new jacket and a few boxes of nice bottles of red. Tassie D invited us to stop by on the way through but we came through at unsociable hours so will have to be next time. We ate lots of yum food and saw some beautiful countryside, platypus and ekidna. Got to say I have been impressed by the northern end of Tassie so far. Nice part of the world - just very very windy. Next weekend will be a surf mission somewhere. Will be hitting up Andyroo, Steve, TD and TC for suggested locations .

Yes I think I know where that one is - I can see it from my lounge ! Well not today as its raining sideways with gusts hitting 50 plus knots right now. Horrid day. Its not working today.....I think its going to need one hell of a swell to break and be from the optimum direction. The neighbour / local policeman always looks keen. I have seen a few hints of its potential since we arrived. Should have brought a longboard down.

My guess would be that is at Godfreys beach , west side of the nut .Typical of the northwest gets a nice wave but not that consistent . Will try and find out for certain on the weekend . Are a few nice spots around Stanley especially on a northeast groundie and that crowd in the film is a big crowd for the area .

Big swell out today but she's pretty wild , snowing horizontally at our front door atm .

a quick pic of a spot they call the pipe on the way past - wave breaks over a shallow reef- double overhead coming through , 2 out , 1 on a boogie board and one on a shortboard , hoping the wind drops and it hangs on for this afternoon

That wave in the video is probably Mt Cameron over the west. That's my guess any way

Another shot of pipe latter this afternoon as the swell dropped . Pipe Andy is the main break of the boogy boarders in the north of Tassie ( some at Devonport way might argue ) It's where the NWBR run the annual comp King of pipe . It's a real shallow beak - never seen a long boarder out there . Only ever seen 2 SUPs out there . It's on the eatern side of the point between Preservation Bay and Sulphur creek - works on a big westerly swell .like most breaks in the northwest is pretty fickle
