Some semi sheltered runners around this Arvo if you can put up with the hassle fest.
Knocked off work early hoping to get a few in out front of home....but faaaark me the crowd. 
Shoulda pulled out the camera instead subs. Current, former national, state level surfers and underground rippers all day long.
Thanks Huey that was great, 2 productive surfs today on a pumping rip bank.
thanks Smicko too 
LAGO and a great way to end the week. (I also thank you for your sacrifice smicko as Huey has been very kind lately)
Thanks again Smicko 
pumping rip bank early surf and again after "fatherly duties" fulfilled same rip bank delivering some belters.
hope Huey repays you for your generous "rebuild " when you can return to the water.
Went out with the kooks at the cove this morning and popped a fin out on the reef.
Now listening to the Westpac chopper doing bog laps over my house. There was a shark cruising by.

The westpac chopper was circling and hovering for around 5 minutes of my local. I wasn't their but it sent my family into a spin. Luckily "Find my I Phone" app showed i was surfing somewhere else. No reports on any media sights though so not sure what they were looking at 
Same where we were, the chopper did a bit of a hover directly over us and swung a couple of low passes and disappeared. It was actually pretty cool to watch and you could smell the exhaust.
Then a few minutes later the cops rolled up with the christmas tree lights flashing, they said someone had reported seeing a chopper crash.
How they didn't see it fly away was beyond me ?? Maybe too much ganja !!

I don't see why the chopper couldn't use a light system to confirm they are happy. A green flashing light would make you feel a lot better IMHO.
Vice versa a red light could be used to flash if there was a danger near you..

Probably a navigation lights regulation I would think. Don't you run a boat shop....?

Haha thats a ridiculous stretch..
Nav lights are normally used for night time
Im not really sure anyone is going to drive a boat around a helicopter..SO don't see the problem.
I also don't see boaters having any issues driving on the road with green and red lights
But i guess by your response, there are some people that could get confused..

Couldn't see any lights on the copper chopper the other night...
Not sure where you live, but Sat night there was a chopper with no lights around the Greenwood/Warwick area with lights out using infra-red looking for that 16 year old ****wit who t-boned another car resulting in 2 fatalities. 
Scored a few glassy ones this morning. Put a new set of fins in and happy with the results.

Could be the one... 
Yes Suba. Plenty of fun ones around the beaches today. Pre-school holiday emptiness! Get it while it's hot!!
Speaking of fins.......I've just purchased a board with futures boxes, all my boards have FCS.......so anyone got any quad sets in futures for sale, large most prob Stretch, AM2s Simon Andersons etc
A quick surf at Mulla point this morning. Nice and straight, but best part was a guy paddles out and says theirs "free bbq burgers on the beach".. Yeah that old chestnut to clear the water..
Well bugger me their was
So surf and bbq burger, great start to the day
Free waves and food?!
What a country we live in! And happy pre-not-really-ya-birthday, Lizzy. Here's to another 10.
yeah, there were a few waves to go around today for sure,
Really fun punchy waves early whilst it was too cold and dark for the kooks. Fittingly the waves lessened in quality when the masses arrived. Love this time of year, rewards the people with half a clue.
Popping over to Portugal late October.
Anyone wanna school me on the surf there? Is October a good time?
Had great waves in Portugal 20+ years ago followed a swell from the Lisbon area all the way to France. plenty of breaks beaches to reefs....even went to Nazare.....thank Christ it wasn't even breaking 
portugused Govt will refund you your travel cost if you don't get waves-always stated during the Supertubos Comp which is in late October.
ccccccold water and hot days.
