No.surf for me today as Sundays I entertain the precious cargo. Went down to support the nodeckcrew at the narrowneck longboard comp. The lads scored some very fun waves.....until the finals and the devil south wind hit. Went to LM,and scored some yellow sand filled drainers. Very glad my neck was not snapped.
Well here are some narrowneck longboard pics
Yeah. Some if the bigger waves at lm where a lot of fun speeding down the line. Very good wave when it gets like that

Shattered can't believe Souths are out.
Bloody refs where do you think Souths will be surfing today Scotty?
Got a few lefts out there today. Nothing special. Was a bit rusty after not getting any waves for 2 weeks. Couldn't believe how much warmer the water is compared to a few weeks back. No sharks 
Nice work agnak
We had glassy but bit wonky 3ft up here for a couple of hours until the devil south wind killed it.....scored some some nice ones. I was pretty happy as i have been surfing pretty badly lately. Today I was not great but I was sorting some bad habits out.....so very happy if it continues
^sorry bout that chrispy, tried to do two pics but fked up...swell dropped heaps here today but conditions were bit better.
Got some little knee high runners . Clean and the water is warming. May be getting close to packing the steamer away but we could get some cooler days yet.

Hey Chrispy, how do you go about working the bad habits out. I've got into a terrible habit with my pop up which I keep reverting to without thinking. It's totally doing my head in as it screwing my surf right up. I try concentrate on the change I need to make but as soon as I take the drop muscle memory takes over.
Hopefully you've got a neat Jedi mind trick for me?
Salty Sea Dog you made me smile. Jedi tricks ummmmm
Look I was having problems going from my midlength to my shorty. My mid I could pop up and surf the board from anywhere. I could also get into waves so much easier so it sorta made me lazy. I also get into the bad habit of getting straight legged instead of compressing and extending.
On my pop ups I read something a while ago about popping up on dry land no more than ten times. So I worked out how many tiles on my floor would be my
board. Then I just started popping up. I guess I'm retraining my muscle memory. I will do it all the time over the last week and it seems to be working. Especially being bent at the knees and relaxed when I'm on my feet.
On the straight legs,I'm just on the skater and pretending I'm on a wave. I'm sure I look like a tad,but that too is working. Bend the knees low and compress,then extend the legs through my turn. Just big carves really....
When I'm in the surf I don't over think it,just a few good breaths and hope for the best
More importantly we had the most fun waves today. Reports were way off the mark.
Took this pick when I drove into the carpark..... It was way better than the pic....but hey,that's all I took

That works well and even just visualising the movement and postures you want. I lived inland for four years in the late 90s and my surfing improved markedly even though I surfed less and I put it down to active visualisation and practicing in the lounge room the positions I wanted my body in. The compression on take off is pretty important. I distinctly remember the session many many years ago where I finally figured out what the other bloke out was doing and why he was making these drops I was struggling on.
Visualise and dry runs and a calm mind while surfing. The calm mind stuff works too I reckon. I started that when I used to surf some big waves and that head place still helps in crowds and critical spaces.
BTW, surfed today for the first time in a week and half. It was PUMPING this afternoon. Bigger all people. Glassy. Double head high. Yeeeeewwww!!!!
Some fun ones on the log today. Conditions were perfect for trying to cross step, but I still struggled. Just stepped right off the front of the board a couple of times
good conditions yesty for the inbetween swell novelty spots, it`ll be on in a couple days tho.....are you ready Ted?
Yes indeed. This is what happened on my fourth wave This morning before the sun was even up

Bad luck hey.
Will you get another?
Ordered one a few weeks back - but might try n get an Evo or another Nano if I can one in Bali today. Have a mate driving back here Wednesday so he can bring it back for me.
lol, crikey Ted thats a mess,
this morning was crankin, next sesh i`ll try an get a pic
Surfed some wonky rights on Saturday for an hour with a couple of others
Sunday morning 3 hrs 3-4 foot low tide rights 10 guys pumping
Sunday arvo 3 hrs 3-4 foot high tide rights 10 guys pumping
...my arms may fall off at some stage
1 foot clean beachie at Cenang beach Langkawi on a soft top yesterday. Warmest water I've ever felt, too warm if you don't pace your waves. Place is basically East of Northern Indonesia. I'm surprised how much warmer the water is than Bali & the sun goes down a lot later too. Bali's dark at 6pm, is like 7pm here...skys just clearing up after the fires in Sumatra...nice place, but I wouldn't plan a surf trip for here haha
Ted you did a great job on that board, if your gonna break a board, ya may as well do it right eh...so how exactly did it get so hammered? & did you do that at home or in Oz?
Low tide n breaking square Mick - it just collapsed on me as I grabbed the rail to pull in. So must have done it on the previous wave I think. Then I copped the next one right in the detonation zone - good size n it came up in pieces. Got absolutely smashed. Glad there was not one more behind it or I would have been in trouble.
Surfed a nice long left this morning on the low tide. Fun but not too many coming through. Hate the back up board - it's like driving a slow bus after the last one.
Calm before the storm here today. Nervous anticipation at every corner. Few bloodied bodies but not seen a broken stick yet.
Looking forward to getting up to the NE of Indo come the wet season. Glad to see u having some fun.
yep that was a decimation ted 
a island yesterday was not as good as hoped but still some very chunky ones coming through
today no vanders,i did try and no luck,so went to a point closer to home...was crowded but lots of take off points...very fun.
tomorrow i hope to be at home...if our good banks have not been decimated by this swell...fingers crossed and then get my new board shaped
Chrispy tried calling you back before I hit it for a second time with Asea. Phone is pretty much being ignored so as not to get dragged back into work stuff.
2 good surfs today at Kirra, northerlies predicted to come in so time to make the best of it.
