15, that's ridiculous overcrowding Ted.
. .
Did you look at Creso at all, any waves there?
Here's a clip for you, Raglan, last week..
SP - I never went out when there were that many in the water - I hate crowds I had a quick look at crescent on the way out but it had nothing.....well it had a few coming through but seemed to be missing it and had a few crew in the water as you would expect.
Nice clip of Raglan there - looks like low tide at the Ledge at Manu Bay. Super fun section that one. Whats funny is that where they were all jumping off and exiting the wave it had only just begun....there would have been a bunch of people entering it there and getting 100m plus rides.....The ledge is right on take off. Can be a bit sketchy when the tide is low and its that size or bigger. The SE wind was not helping them either - creates a nice bit of chop on the face. They did well.
Just back from a fun 2 - 3 ft beachie session. The rain has kept the weekend crowd away and surfed a peak with my neighbour only. Joy. No wind down here so its super glassy. Long lulls between sets though. You getting any up your way?
Just returned home from a little trip to Byron sorry no photos,with boofy and chrispy.
Pup simliar conditions to your trip mate but overcast and rain the water was warm just boardies and jacket
Today's winner of the wave pig award goes to chrispy with boofy a close second,I was happy to get a few double over head bombs out the back while the boys played in 4 foot sliders.
Nah it was 2 to 3 and running from the point into Clarkes and a walk back,I wasn't really getting into it today,always good to surf with mates.
Then we had a coffee and a snack and heading out of town you guessed it we popped into mct,I do believe boofy found a very nice board that may just be his in the coming weeks.
Dave was kind enough to open the shaping bay so I could eye off my newie,wow I asked for some lower rails and some chimes and have they done a job on this blank.All this while Chrispy was asked to man the shop geez
Yet another great day thanks boofy and chrispy
Thanks for a great fun morning fellas, good to catch up for a surf together again jaw still aching from all the laughs
Legendary mac legendary - chrispy a shop attendant you say ????? farken gold farking
Well done we hope Boof - pics please
mmmmmmm gurgle drool The Pass
yep super fun day. i still shake my head at how the numbers drop in the water when it rains. i love surfing in the rain. so today was a big conveyer belt for me. catch wave, ride wave for ages,walk back up beach,get sucked out in the sweep straight to another wave waiting. who would ever think that at the pass hey
thanks again mac for the drive mate
mac you are an unashamed McT whore but I love it
I had a quick look at crescent on the way out but it had nothing.....well it had a few coming through but seemed to be missing it and had a few crew in the water as you would expect.. But glad you all got some waves.
There was nothing down here today of any merit but even so, I went and had a look at queeny and I counted 35 boards in roughly a 50 metre stretch of nothing. I looked at it for 10mins and did not see much above a ripple come through.
I did get some waves further up the coast, but only because my board is so damn big.
Great days surfing , got off to a bad start the stepson who came down for the weekend to see the footy and have a surf walked outside and chickened out on me . Text the surfing mate and he was off to kids footy so loaded the boards and headed off on my own .
Surf out the front of Penguin very blown out with about a 20 knot easterly so ventured over to Preservation Bay to get out of the wind . Found some nice 3 foot swell so jumped in . About 10 minutes latter was joined by 4 others .
Surfed for about 1 1/2 hours before noticing the young girl sitting beside me had her hands turning blue so baled out . When I hit the beach noticed my toes were completely numb . 2 hot showers and about 2 hours latter had all feeling returned . Was it worth it ? F..k yes a fun day .
Unfortunately the southerlys are predicted to return again tomorrow so that's probably it for the week for me .
Sorry no pics left the camera in the wifes car after the footy
Sounds like Chrispy and the boys had a great day, myself i had two surfs in small 2 foot uncrowded waves, in the morning totally hungover and then in the arvo took the 666 out with my young nephew who was on a clubie ski and stayed out till dark with the full moon glowing
very
preservation bay this afternoon , spent an hour with a bloke who was
surfing 5-2 and 5-7 mini simmonds boards . looked like a lot of fun on 2 foot waves
had to chuck in the Hawks pic great game on Saturday , go the mighty hawks
this is for monday/ had two surfs. morning tide was going from to low,wiked a frames up and down the beach 3ft,pretty thick wave throwing from take off. the paddle out was a real bitch. arvo surf but diff tides,it was arvo perfection. glassy waves everywhere. so now to get another one shortly before its too big for me
tuesday first surf. bit smaller than yesterday with the odd bigger one hunting me down to check my lung capacity. didnt catch to mant today,mumbles caught heaps,didnt ding my newy and only he only dropped in once. asea was a hoax again. asea does not like waves over 1ft well thats what mumbles and i told his mate the life guard my pics dont turn out in the morning with the sun,so will take some this arvo when i go for round two
3ft and building here late this arvo as the sun goes down - wind still strong from the West and its now raining and very cold ouch!!! Hope to get a few tom if the rain lets me
