Small crowd and some nice waves this morning. Did the dawnie and had a ball out there at Racetrack - it was pretty hollow at dead low tide - lots of skin left on the reef 
Here a couple of action shots from the trusty photographer crowd who dominate the hill.

Nice to see ya being sun smart & getting some shade over there Ted...keep us posted mate 
getting waves ted. it looks a bit rough on the face mate. is that a bit of morning sickness on it
It was all good LL that corner of the reef at low tide was a bit chopped up but nothing to complain about. If I saw wave like that at home I would been frothing!!Our boards never came off the plane last night so fingers crossed we get them Tom. Be interesting to see if they turn up - with 3 connections required! Fingers crossed. 5 of us in the same position

****ing nice one bro !!
Yeeeeeoooooooooow rhino great stuff
On the wave front here, well yesterday was all time. The best I have seen it and we have had some smoking days lately,but my quiver has been culled by huey
Today was smaller but that stiff offshore just held them sucker up. Well worth sacrificing some sleep,at least I will be happy at work tonight.
Tomorrow is looking just as fun,but it will be on the longboard I imagine
Hope you goldy crew got out when I predicted and scored some,,if not hahahahahahaha
Yesterday afternoon at Maroochydore was just insane.
The surf report said 3-4' (roll my eyes at that one) but the bouys topped 5 metres.
Paddled out at about 2pm after doing a run (in the car that is) to Brisbane and back in the morning.
Got a cold and not feeling too good but the waves were just crazy.
Lines of swell just wrapping in from the North the likes I've not seen before.
Made the mistake of paddling out on a 6'2".
Got out the back fairly easily and a nice big set came with no one looking keen.
Paddled hard and the offshore held me up the top so I could have a view of the yawning drop below as it hit the bank, unloaded and ran away without me.
Ok...another one with me in position (or so I thought) and paddle hard only to have the same thing happen again.
Started to then second guess my choice of such a little itty, bitty board (yes gents, this is the longboard forum) and wished I paddled out on my 7'6" midlength so I had the paddle power to get in early.
Anyway it was amazing seeing the waves come through from the water angle and I did get a couple but nothing like the haul I'd normally jag when riding the equipment appropriate to the wave size and power. 
Walked down to look at what was left today and it was a different world. 
And nice pics Ted...hope you have a ball.
From.epic...to.really fun......to completely flat
South swell coming,I feel.another mini road.trip
Messy hung over from the stormy stuff early here sadly - going back in a couple of hours for another suss
Its a bit cleaner Nth Pup, but not as much swell as expected hey. Maybe if the winds miraculously swing back to the South it will be ok at mid tide maybe.
I'm going to go & finish my brick paving, without getting interrupted by huge downpours of rain like yesterday. I hope

Stop it! Surf while you can as much as you can.......before you can't.
The best thing I have been doing is having my mini road trips. Get outta my familiar and the crowds. Am loving the beautiful spots I had not been to in years. I guess i lost so many years through injury,and am so thankful to have my love back. Making the most of every wave, as I know how quickly it can go pear shaped
So bring on my mini roadie tomorrow, already choosing what boards and where. Just like the grom days yeeeeeoooooooooow

Bit wild.... Off to see those LM legends
Pfft where are they. Perfection here
I heard you found them in the coffee shop
Really a short to mid sort of day so I flagged the carnage and stayed dry.
Probably a bit of a wave today. But my glutes & back are still aching from brick paving a few days ago. Still walking a bit funny lol 
after seeing mac and chrispy i had ideas of surfing the alley- it was ****e. went back to lm on the lower tide and ,well it was pumping and a crowd like a war zone.
got waves but the twinnie tailer fin set up i could feel was too loose for the speed and power . still it took the drops and pumped along but i didn't feel like i could put the board up there.
the setup will be awesome on small well shaped waves but a day like to day the am2's fin set is the go.
scary crowded- its all you can do catch waves with out getting cleaned up by waves and surfers
Matt and his mates are heading down and taking back up boards,my advice was look after YOUR bank account
Mac and lacey sitting bone dry and like royalty at their local coffee establishment
Told lacey it was primo, he told me it was crap....I was right and left just as the crowd got mental
Got three smokers and was still pretty happy with that,not getting one drop in made it all the more special
Mac said it was not a longboard day,he might be right,or he might be wrong....I'm glad I was not on my longboard I know that....then again the hp would have liked it,maybeseabreeze is not letting me post pics again,sorry crew
Back in the water after a forced exodus (3 months, i think) - Surfed a right hand reef break with a mate who I hadn't caught up with for near on 15 years.
Low tide, howling offshore and clean 3-5 ft... Like two old codgers, both of us were reminiscing about how we would paddle the long distance from one break to another break and back again to get the best sets. Now we just sat there and waited out the lulls for the sets to come to us ....Jelly arms.
