That's strange 
I always thought of him as more of a snake than a shark !!!!!
But shark is good.
You Don't want to keep him now that you've got him up there do you
OB that is so unkind....... Just for that I'm going to surf Arrawarra tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday morning, before a midday surf at Plomer on the way home and I'm going to text you photos all the way down.....
See you when I get home wednesday. 
Mac, I'll be thinkin got you working while I'm having a nice road trip...... 
Thanks to Vanders, Mac and Lacey for the company at LM and for that nice little 666 paddle. It was a real pleasure having me at your end of the beach.......
Was great to have ya up here mate, as I said I'm hoping to catch up with you blokes next Sydney trip which shouldn't be too far away, until then safe travels & many happy waves.

He's still got that board Mac although I heard its a bit knocked around. I'll get to have a ride on it one day I hope.
What a cock up. Had great plans to surf my way home to Sydney over two days.
Had a neat two hour session at LM between 7.30 and 9.30 yesterday, that bloke with the orange shirt and matching bourd was there again, but the goat boater was pissin' everyone off...... I then settled in for the trip to Arrawarra. Got there thinking it would be a good place to stop for sunset wave, then a possible early wave, then push home today. Nothin, mill pond, so kept moving. Went to Crescent, Plomer and Port Mac north wall, all yesterday arvo and decided the surf gods were telling me to go home, which is what I did. Arrived home to my bride at 10 last night.
Aks again to Mac, Vanders and Lacey for the laughs.... But seriously, you have to lose the paddles......... 
Got the Farm again with a half a dozen out for a lunchtime high tide 666 surf. Got a few ok waves. Clean shoulder high peaks. Started getting the beast going rail to rail a bit.
It almost feels like learning all over again.
Nice work Sean - glad to see you are back out there so regularly these days and making use of that shift work torture you have to do
I am stuck in the City this week working sadly so no beach time....but checked the report this morning just to confirm my expectations and was shocked at what I saw.....for a long time I have questioned the judgement of our local reporter and today was no exception......
Seriously when did 1-2ft weak swell = a 5 out of 10 day???? Often when its 6ft perfection it only scores a 7 or 8 yet we can get a 5 when its crap. Perhaps he is dumbing down the reports for the lowest common denominator.....is this happening in your area as well?
Effective From: Thu 10 Oct 06:21AM
Surf: Clean 1-2ft
Wind: Light WNW
Weather: Fine And Sunny
Swell Direction: ENE
Tides: Low 07:39PM High 12:56PM
Rating: 5/10
Waves have dropped a little more to be in the 1-2ft range from the ENE and joined by a light WNW wind keeping conditions clean. Still some nice little peaks coming through but just a little small and lacking push, maybe with a bit of searching to those spots that suck in the swell could be worth getting wet. A nice looking day and looking to be a hot one.
I guess it depends a lot on you're equipment, me and MR surfed similar conditions to that for an hour last night, and neither of us waited more than 3 minutes between most rides.
I would have given it a 4 or 5 out of 10.
I had a look today Ted but it was tiny and windy and not worth it. The tide was right up it as well and lapping on the shore everywhere I looked. That was around lunchtime.

Ted, I reckon that some of the so called surf reporters call it down so that the out of town punters stop away. In the vain hope that they will get a less crowded surf session.
As OB said, our session on Wednesday arvo was far less than perfect, especially after the royal treatment I received from Hughie up the coast. I doubt I'd give it even a 4. Still, it's nice to have a break to yourself and a mate and go wave for wave and party the last one in. 
I hear ya ob and MR - I also love those sneaky little surfs you get with no one else out....I am happy to call those a 5/10 day from a personal point of view if you are weighing up both the waves and the session you had but a surf reporter should be giving an objective view point of the waves only...personally I think that the one we have up here is there for comedy value only Personally I just check the buoys and wind and view it myself. But its nice to know whats going on at home sometimes when you are away or you are at a place that is foreign and you are hoping to get an semi inside leg up Only to be disappointed by the goose who wrote it
Ted I have been salying this for ages....predicting and getting it wwrong,well hey it's mother nature. But to have a report from that day giving that much tripe is pretty poor. But I know my way and am not to bad with the charts haha
Oh I scored.week bumpy windswell with Macs mate stuey

Who ever keeps giving you reds really deserves a thumbs up for constancy Buts thats about it because a bit sick really WHo ever its is, Pup You really, seriously have your very own professional stalker
Picking my young bloke up from work at 11 then will head down . Its around head high. Get that barge out again and up the other end of the beach where it can't hurt anyone. Might try it as a quad today.
^ good to hear your back out there regularly mate...
Few waves round here this morrning, good fun on the lb... Now to pack and head north for a week.
Very very crappy here today , wind , rain , sleet . Hard to believe there is a heat wave up the in Australia .
Might get a few waves latter on if I can find a spot out of the wind

How big is your 666 SMH . Have my 9 2 set up with quads and nubster my favourite board at the moment . Surprising the difference the nubster makes .

Mines a 10'6 Laird surftech Tassie. I picked it for its big concave nose and longboard shape because I want to nose ride it. It can be set up as a quad so I'll see how it goes. I'm really only getting the hang of it but getting better every surf. I usually stay away from the pack though. Not really confident just yet.
After our surf we went for coffee and the phone rang,mac I'm mad keen to get this new log wet,yep Lacey so coffee done it was back out this time conditions had improved from very very average to just average,Lacey's board looks so nice and he surfed it well,welcome to the real world Lacey.
