Biggest Ive seen it!! Not that I go there much but wow!!


Not that big really, but a fun solid day. It would have been bigger further south, but I ordered a board and it was close. I wanted to hit one of the waves south of Gracetown, but couldn't be bothered driving.

Of me? No...my personal photographer couldn't make it. Lol.

I had my eight footer out and just picked off the bombs. There were some nice waves to be had on the inside too.




There's a bloke in that barrel even though you can't see him. He made it too.

Oops. Wrong pic. It's the one below.




The big board was handy when I went to this peak too.

It's been a great run of swell up these parts the last 4 days and more to come with high tides hitting the early now. Gold

Belangan this morning, full but fun and well over head in a friendly kind of a way, easy on the occasional set on the head. ( 2 in 2 hours ).

This afternoon offshore 150m + rides just over head height lefts this afternoon, with 8 people in the drink....unbelievable, even had some entertainment with one knuckle head trying to take off way too far inside and bouncing off the cliff. He's OK, so we can and will continue to piss ourselves laughing

As of tomorrow, will report on Lembongan

Prone surfed a 666 after being unable to use the paddle to get onto a wave. Last time I listen to the missus who said, "Don't take the longboard. It will make you use the SUP."

Except after falling off for an hour, I really wanted to catch a few waves and the longboard would have been perfect.

For WA locals who recognised the wave in the 666 room, the rip was hideous and short boarders on the inside didn't last long. Not many with walls in there either. Just a bit too much swell for it. If you have surfed there you know the fatness and rip I mean with a bit of swell running through it.

Women!

Or maybe I should just slap myself around like a red headed step-child for listening to her.

Surf looked small when I checked early. Had to do some stuff, headed down with the 666 & the log. Felt like a bit of a 666, but after a few sets came through decided the log would be more fun. Had it to myself then coz some chick reckoned she saw a shark & was marching up & down the beach letting everyone know. Same chick did that the last time I saw her lol...I was thankful, I now had it to myself again. Surf seemed to pick up & some long wally chest high waves were great fun

Missus wanted some ocean swimming advice today. So I waited & waited & waited & then about an hour after I thought she was just about ready we headed off. Surf was better than expected when we arrived. Spent 10 mins giving her pointers, paddled out with the SB & paddled in to get the LB when i realized I couldn't compete with the moderate crowd. And then the light onshore came in lol...next time I'm just gonna tell the missus I'll meet her there

The West has had some great weather the last few days & waves up until yesterday. "You should have been here yesterday" haha nah it was just small & fun yesterday, but I surfed everyday straight for 10 days after only surfing twice in 2 weeks in Malaysia. Really felt like it was going off after that

Looking like desperadoes Wed, bit of swell onshore slops with little crowd Thurs & possibly pretty good Fri...from my pov, Perf will be just as sh1t as usual...although the Hong Kong BBQ restaurant in North Bridge has really bloody good Chinese Roast duck man, highly recommend

well there has been cranking waves up here lately....and i missed them all.

surfed the spit today and it was the best on the coast and it was rubbish.

walked down for a surf check with a longboard and 666 champion who was getting ready for the aussie titles....and well mr close like i said...i dont carry a 666 down to the surf...not for me or anyone,so dont cry


i did laugh at some of the 666 crew though...some of them had boards smaller than mine and they could not even stand on them to wait for waves...it was pretty sad to watch

Went early and got a few. The wind came up early too but not too bad. About half a dozen spread out on the whole beach and I had a bank to myself. People started turning up after I got out.

Great fun today, almost too big for the log. But too inconsistent with the sets for a short board. Was happy to just get wave after wave on the middle size ones. Sadly a mate got a big full thickness head gouge that required a quick getaway to the hospital. Poor bugger is or was headed for Bali on Monday. Hopfully he can still go & drink bintangs on the hill at Ulu's & heal fast.
