Went out pretty early chrispychampion - had our local 6 bothers & sisters show up mid morning and that was an ice cool hour or two right there but no Brother Michael PC so I am hoping he hit it a bit further down
I was falling over all over the farking joint in my hurry to get out lucked it Purdy
How good was this morning on the Sunshine Coast.
The best beach breaks I have seen for a long stretch, every where from Yaroomba to Sunshine had waves from 2 to 4 foot and light off shore breezes.
Got a bit too quick for the old fella as the tide dropped off.
great morning up here.
ET.
Vastly different conditions this morning sadly - the devil north slashed it to mush very lumpy morning , got a few & got wet and that was about it !
Wicked Sage - that northerly would have been just the perfect angle up there , I got a bagful yesterday so wasn't grizzling too much ..... well maybe a tad onya
Well.done crew me,I surfed the local with a couple of breezers on what was a ordinary day compared to the rest of the week. Bit straight at times.... Also bloody good at times.
Hit the points early. No breezers around,and surf was that small it was not breaking at times. The local was better,but was expecting a big southerly. I made some.poor.choices today
nothing of note around these parts - just spent 90 mins exploring for no result. Lots of short period decent chunks in places but the wind is awful and the swell does not have enough power in it to get in to the sheltered spots. Looks like an afternoon in the garage for me or maybe I should drink some beer. Difficult decision.
Lovely session at Bells this arvo. Nice fun, solid lines coming through. Very low crowds... Rode the 9'0 Blue Gun - Bob's Hand-shape... Picked off the King Sets perfectly!
Patagonia Wettie Review - 9.5/10! - 3/2 Sealed Steamer, feels way more like a 3.5/2.5, or even like a 4/3... Not as stretchy at other brands, but just go +1 Size Up... Warmer than other brands though. The only fault I can find... THE TAG! For a Brand that kind of aligns themselves with "No Brand"... The TAG... it gets stuck in the zip, sometimes... I keep forgetting to cut the stupid thing off! But it didn't need to get placed in that location to start with! (Yes, PEDANTIC fault... almost not a fault!)...
I bought this one, last winter... 12-18 degree water range. Ideal for our Winters...http://shop.patagonia.com.au/wetsuits/r2/ms-r2-bz-full-suit-10.html
I wear a Quiksilver Cypher 3/2 Steamer from 18-16 degrees. This from 15-12...
Had nice hour to myself at a local spot just down the road from Bells was wondering where everyone was...then a mate paddles out at proceeds to tell me that he can't believe I'm out by myself at dawn after whats been happening the last few days..apparently the crew got chased out by a 5-6 footer on Friday and a couple of guys got bumped at winki a few days before that with one ending up with a few bite marks in his calf for good measure....anyways I got a few good ones and keeps the crowd down so happy days
