imo teds totally lost it
About the only thing he is lost in is ,Paradise and thats not a bad thing,looking forward to catching up with local Ted and Tux next week.
Yes Mac looking forward to it. Maybe we should shoot for Sunset at Old Mans. Nice place to spend a few hours. Swell has dropped off a bit but still some fun spots on the higher tides.
Just saw this Ted...
Same bloke... Same place?
Marvellous noseriding session with Lacey,great to have the right board for the conditions
Yes indeed SP. nice bloke normally comes for a few months at the start of the season for the last 15 years or so. Rips for an Englishman. Watching that first wave live was insane. Thought he was going for al money and somehow he recovered that tail. Incredible.

only surf report to give moonshine
Was glad I got out early today even though it was hung over & sort of peaky chunks everywhere - fattish but some really nice ones if you picked 'em right ..... bit of lubbly jubbly froth

toes pfff,I did the whole body twist
,oh toes no just some walking of sorts,you know the walk from green to lm a few times.
So I saw the wind and figured for some head high fun. Drive down to the beach, suited up, grabbed the longboard rather than the 7' or 8' boards and paddled out without having looked at the beach. .....ummmmm.....whoopsy!
Yep it was glassy and only a handful of people out. It was also surprisingly solid with some triple overhead bomb sets every ten minutes or so. After initially paddling in looking for a small left and copping the first set on the head, I sat out the back for ten minutes and got a really nice right hand set wave from a little behind the peak only to be brutally burned as I bottom turned. I straightened out and had the whole thing unleash on the tail of my board. Somewhere in the flogging the board collected my foot and I presently have a very nice bruise turning purple. It goes well with the remnants of urchin still in there from last week. Being in the middle of the peak, I copped another set on the head and got washed through. I paddled out and got another small one - head and half or so - and that was the end of my surf window. One hour, two waves. I feel like I surfed for three hours though as I am absolutely stuffed. I copped so many waves while trying to get to the shoulder I was paddling almost nonstop.
Oh well, it made me feel alive and manly and I did get the biggest wave I saw come through even if I was treated like red headed step child by old mate.

So. Try again tomorrow

Yeah I ballsed that one up. Lol. Either of the other two boards I had with me would have been a bit more appropriate. I just didn't expect it to be that size, but I think there is a bit of North in the swell as I heard there were waves in the Bay yesterday - which normally needs huge swells or a front - and yet I surfed an exposed beachie yesterday and it was 1-2 foot. For those who know the area, Piquet was too big and Meelup had waves, yet Redgate was pathetically small.
And this little surf was completely unexpected Lacey, as the forecast for the next few days is actually pretty ordinary. I hope I can go again tomorrow but dubious, very dubious.

Mate if your break was striaght we won with small waves from lm to greenie and your boys were off their game equipment wise
and the drip sounds like you were on the wrong equipment also,did you sort the burning guy or lay down
As long as you all had a fun time I'm happy

hahaha i sorta had fun....more falling in love with a board i wanted to burn...yep a fin makes a difference.... we had head high waves but the good ones were few and far between....sounds like you win....how was the crowd first
edit....they said it was barely breaking,so yes that is small....but we are in the longboard forum

so, lust how much did this placebo effect fin cost you chrispy
$125 delivered but im stoked now
edit it might be a placebo effect,as i have had a few bad points in my surfing pointed out....skating is not always going to help you surf
Macaha, unfortunately I was too busy dealing with the wave and didn't get a good look at him. By the time I got washed through three other blokes were paddling out in the channel so I wasn't sure which one it was. Rest assured, one of my character defects is I am not a shrinking violet in the water and words would have been exchanged if I knew who it was.
