the surf is cranking. doesn't look like many spare ones at cooly.
im out with 2 lots of stitches in my back.
might be worth having a look tho
JB has lucked in down at Byron it looks good.
Yeah who would thought surfing could be revolved around so much walking. Went to bed with lats and shoulders cramping. Woke up with legs and heels screaming. Of to do it again ?? Very pretty spot but some real wild locals. Best one is the guy in his Tiddy Whittys. He reminded me of a homeless surfing but with style????

When your feeling better we can test your back on one of my 24 " race boards
It be fun. We for me anyway
Well, Just got back from a week in the Byron area. (Broken Head)
Monday to Wednesday 2-3ft warm SE swell, light breeze and lots....and I mean lots of wave..made a pig of myself (as did my son )..these days were just fun waves with some great long rides... rode everything from mals to shortboard..
Thursday and Friday....ahhhh the NE blew in so no surfing, but did notice the changing swell direction and it growing in size
Wake up Saturday .... OMG, what a difference 12hrs would make. The place became no place for a mal....! Light NE - E breeze and 4-6ft standing up solid on the sand making the faces at times well in the double OH mark. Some of the bomb sets would send the entire crowd heading for the horizon....if you did not make it... It felt like you were being slighted to Perth 
(For those that know the place, at times the waves would break over the sisters....!)
Broke out the 6'10...with some serious trepidation, but heh ..YOLO 
.. Got some epic rides and some EPIC wipeouts (read ; I think I Paid my life insurance type thoughts after sufacing ).
One attempt to paddle out after the return run back around from the previous wave and timing it wrong saw me washed some 300mtr down the beach back to the exit point from the ride. Other fared worse with numerous broken boards. Many of the better surfers (not me) pulled some great and brilliant barrels ... I stayed well clear of those although some chose to close out over me 
..... not my choice...just bad positioning by yours truly.
Fell asleep at 8.00pm ...but with us leaving on Sunday.. I was keen for one more thrashing.
Woke about 5.00am and the wafts of a light SE breeze...waiting for enough daylight
All I can say about Sunday .... Long....Clean ...Faaaaaaast .... Unforgiving ...... and please can I do it all again.
No wind, tide high so the full length of the back was on...
After an 1.5hrs and some awesome waves, I got out (thank God, we packed the night before...totally stuffed). Spent time watching the crowd grow and wave after wave being mauled by some incredible surfing. Far there are some brilliant surfers on this planet..was in awe of the display!
Best session on big wave I have ever had... crowd was insane but with so many waves it just did not matter.... I can still feel the adrenaline in the system today...yeeeewwwwwwwwww
Glad you had some good waves Climber. Nice read. Thanks.
Seems young Mac has been doing some good work as well

Yeah I was going to say that was a A plus burn.
I never really seen him do that before. Not saying he doesnt tho.
I remember watchijg a post heat interview at burleigh ago and mf lost.
He said to was probably karma for dropping in on some guy in the warm up

Yo Ted WSL just sent Matt an email
went to get some tail chocks for my race boards.
kirra had a very good soft c0cks wave.
half temped , stitches and all
Woke up after night shift just before 12. Wind south east here and not many options so i had a river paddle. Hard work on the way up aginst the wind and the tide but coming back was OK. Back to work tonight then I get an 8 day break. Should get some waves then and kids are back to school
Finally got out there after 5 13 hour night shifts . Had to walk a long way in and out because the road is under repair. Bummer. Got a few . Felt a bit wobbly today but I'll put that down to all those night shifts. Still got a few though.
Kinda sux smh, but at least your getting a few mate. Things have been really slow the last couple of weeks here. Only had 1 or 2 surfs a week since around NY's. Took the 666 out the other day, but it was a lot of work paddling to stay on the tiny set waves. Can't really say I've had any waves this week.
On brighter news I got a decent offer on my log & my whalebone has gone in for surgery

I'm not walking that far again with a 666 Mick. Theres some decent east swell here. Might take the belly board out tomorrow for a change of pace.

This looks the most interesting beach option today. Sitting watching the officials wonder what to do next
I have been asking people all week why is that boat just anchored in the middle of the bay and most hadn't even seen it. Now I guess it got their attention
[:
P]
Maybe the captain freaked out last week during the swell.
I'll be down tomorrow JB,picking up McHenry's board,if you have time for a coffee
and I can pick up the beer garden board?
Lacey you want to come for a drive the devil wind is making a statement NO SURF.
