My only day off this week and the southerly has wrecked it Never mind because I'll be on holidays next week


You didn't surf then? Or was it just rubbish and a wave of desperation?

Aloha!

Back to work for me after having 28 off :) Busy being Mr Mum looking after the kids (hence scare appearance here) as the Mrs was off playing with Orca's doing he research thing.

Still managed to get some waves but really only about 4 good sessions in the last month. One epic at a local Beachy that saw more barrels in one sesh than I've had in Oz in the past 3 years and rounded off with some quite large descent Winterish type waves last Friday and Saturday Denmark way. Good solid swell but a bit fullish. Great to christen a new board, a few on the head with associated hold downs to keep me honest and grateful for breathing. One Solo session at a large rarely good left that was cut short given the appearance of an unidentified shape, so paddled in rather promptly and left it at that, watching good waves come through for the next hour un-ridden...and just appreciating that. Awesome stuff.

Hoping you all get some epic surf, and looking forward to hearing about it! Yeeeww!

Yeah wind was on it here too but went out anyway and jagged a couple,sometimes when it looks f**7ked its worth getting wet as you sometimes snag a few good ones and theres no-one else out,Ill often ride my bike down wetty on, board under arm,so hit it regardless of conditions,had some shockers but had some good ones too.Picked up a new board a couple weeks ago,absolutely flies in decent waves.Pretty sorted for boards now but will be selling my Tolhurst single fin and shaping a mal with some multiple concaves through it very soon,could be good,could be not so good

Ricardo it was the same here this morning. This pic and the other one were taken on hight tide. What happened after that left everyone smiling.

Best surf since being back. Few technique issues on some waves,but stoked to be getting back







Oh the second surf curse did hit us though.

After standing around for an hour or so gloating and glowing about the morning. Well it still looked so good so paddled back out. Fist wave and the wind came and our fairytale was over

I'd be happy with that. The wind has backed off a bit here but it's pretty bad so I'm going to paddle the river. Better than nothing

Nice work Chrispy. I just came in from a poor surf ! Very very slow. Caught two waves in 25 mins and came in. Too much work to do and not worth it if it's slow. The two I got were good though

Surfed one of Cuttlefishes fav waves today. Super fun at times but with the big tide and weak swell nowhere near as epic as it can get.

Well I hope something moves further North & the winds stay as good as the last few days. I've been looking, but I aint seeing anything to get me out there & about the least fussy bloke you will ever meet. Had a sh1ton on though keeping me away from the water over the last few weeks. So maybe I missed somethin, but I doubt it...please just let me think that way for now

Fast moving tides today. Third surf was a disaster. 4th wave ended in me being dragged across the reef. Thank goodness for the helmet

I would have popped out for a bit of a chat if I knew you were one of the 4 666's out there mate, unless that's from up around your holiday house. Perfect conditions for up there yesterday.

Locally I saw 1 set of 2 waist high waves at about 1345 in 15 mins. I'm not fussy, but I'm not patient either lol I usually have 3 or 4 waves in that time I get bored
