Nice work Chrispy. Still fairly big here - yest we took a boat to a far away Island and scored big time. Heaven. Heaving pits all day long. Took a chunk out of my board this morning. Annoying but not a train wreck. Marched over the reef last night Chrispy holding my camera kit above my head - got there and back in one piece. Will post some pics when I get back to base and get a decent connection. Classic trip this one - the only times I have not surfed has been because it's been too big for me
Score bro...can't wait to see the pics!!
Some smoking waves today, bit lumpy, but big 'n chunky...Pup did you get a few
Got the new board wet & didn't like it at all. No drive off the bottom, sliding like crazy on top turns. Even turning to kick out of a wave I would slide out heaps.
After sliding sideways down a steep overhead wave & getting drilled at the bottom. I thought somethings not right here, this board is very thin in the tail & has sharp edges. It should be turning on a dime...so I turned it over & was like OH that explains it. I was surfing a twinnie, the rear AM2 fin was missing lol & I remembered bumping some reef on the way out. So I guess I didn't screw it in enough.
Lucklily I had some solus fins in the car to whack in & returned to the wind picking up from the Nth. Thought fargit, it wasn't clean anyway & most of the other crew headed in leaving me with 3 others spread out on our own bubbles. Board felt great with a rear fin lol...ended up having some good waves including one screamer in the end that took me all the way over to the next reef
Lucked out brother unfortunately I got there waaaaaaay too late - absolute mess hope ya both got something
HOWHERE!! that's where, living in Sydney wind blown usless onshore, pus, crap, rubbish...lookin' at the cams of Snapper. I'm just crying man.. i need a beer (doz), farkitty, farkittyy, fek.

Really it seemed like it was better when I left at 1100. You must have got there about 1000 when it was looking the worst. Wind did back off a bit after 1030...but it was looking much cleaner South of 1st reef than past 2nd.
Well gotta love beer uncle thirsty, wish I could too but gotta head off to work soon.
just got back from the alley. its eased but still some big solid 6 to 8 ft was rolling in occasionally.
some guys are really charging too
the rip and off shore side wind is insane. very heavy paddling back up the point.
should have gone to coolie me thinks
Hey Mick
You pretty much summed it up. I was there 8.00 to 11.00. Started out right up the point and worked my down it the bay.
Got some nice ones friendly crew to. Lots of waves not ridden due to the paddle go, go, oh no stop, it got steep
Mick what were you riding ? Reckon I saw you based on watching your videos.
no surfing for me. it was smaller today,still perfect and pumping......the crowds were just finally too much for me. im going for a coast run tomorrow. my tubealicious wave on monday means even more to me now,after watching the carnage from burleigh then snaps,well **** that shizz i say. as lacey said earlier,i have witnessed some of the most amazing surfing. yet after five days,well i just hate people and their dangerous,arrogant and stupid ways

When I was out there on Tuesday,a few of the old crew were saying it was like the old burleigh is back.....great pic grom mac
Cool shots ted. Someone was telling me on one day this week the tweed hospital had seventy surf related injuries. Don,t know how true that is but would surprise me at all
Your fully sick.bro......I mean great stuff ted
Lacey I watched a few end up wrecked off the rocks at burleigh.... Hell I was close

You should send a pm to weiry,he is staying in Noosa atm as well. You two have a similar sense of humour,so should be good fun over a few beers.
On the wave front we have had some smokers up here on a certain tide
