some roughies at palmy on the flying fish. board works well. I can take pretty late drops on it


Same as a general rule but this morning the bottom was dropping out - most boards were failing ! If you got lucky and got into them just a touch sooner you were away and safely inside

weird morning. Started off bumpy when I thought it would be clean...did not take long for it to get glassy though Some really fun waves to be had. Some nice sets would come through with a good wall...then if you could get through the dead section the real fun started on the reforms... great morning with a happy crew out

I looked at the cams chrispy but decided to stay local.

same deal early. I waited a bit for the inside to come good.

funny thing is a lot of other guys had the same idea.

wasn't good or as clean as up your way but that's the thing about my local. it surf able in most winds and conditions

I hear ya. the cams at mine looked ****ed. they are always much better in real life. was hoping it was going to be a repeat of last weekend...sadly I was wrong. was just sent a text that I should have headed further south than macs usual haunt. nice banks glassy and some nice size..

speaking of mac...is he still at the coffee club...or on a epic adventure that no one was invited to

There was a nice wave coming through today, but super inconsistent with some weekend frothers. Felt like I had my share already this week. I watched & chatted to a mate about Sri Lanka for over an hour. Then was about to leave & another mate turned up & we talked about the Hawaiian islands for another 40 mins. He even had pics on his ipad which was really cool. Looks like I'm going to have to pop over to Kuai island, looks epic fun...ended up having a swim with the missus after in beautiful conditions, another day in paradise

had a great day today got up about 5.30 took the scooter for a spin and noticed the swell has decided to show.mates have all gone barra fishing so i
grabbed the wife and slater and went for a drive up the beach.
4.2m tides today so i had to wait till 9 before entering the car on the beach.
lots of cars up the beach,not unusual being a sunday,but plenty of peaks with 3 or 4 surfers.
clean shoulder hi waves with bigger waves on the sets ,the bloody banks started moving around on the dropping tide that made it difficult to be in position.
got some nice waves, but the great thing, i was sharing a bank with three blokes, who i noticed weren't the greatest surfers
but to their credit didn't drop in or get in the way,,, great vibe.


took off on MY wave of the day when down the line one of the blokes thought about it, but didn't… when i paddled back out ,i said thanks mate, i bet you were tempted.

he said i was thinking you won't make it..but then thought plenty of waves hey...



i think its funny when I'm catching waves "don't mater how big" when the biggest set rolls in i always start hooting..to funny

I did not bother either but there were a few good ones sneaking in every now and again. I never take a board down to Sydney as I hate the idea of the crowds but this morning would have been fun at Bondi of all places with just a few out. It was good fun watching from my mates balcony as several pretenders got spanked trying to paddle out though. Great hang over entertainment

Yes its a mighty spot. I really enjoy the morning exercise traffic as well. Probably not too early for a beer - as its always 10am somewhere Pup - you would love that spot I can assure you.

on the lower tide alley was just about sideways.

as usual coolie looked the goods and looked really crowded again.

alley looked a lot better on the higher tide.



and that's where my proposed 7 ft flying fish comes in.





but I've gotten to the stage where I despair when we get a swell because of the lack of options.


give me two to three foot any day and waves everywhere and anywhere

You've got to be kidding or your source was not looking in the right direction,I looked at the cams early afternoon and greenmount was all time.

I looked at 6pm and it was small and clean with 200000000000 people out. yeh that's all time. I think I would have preferred the bigger and bumpier scenario
I guess our its on and all time differ dramatically
