Guys I ain't got **** this week.....,,,,,
Lbb last week average, reef off Jurien full southerly/chest height....half a dozen local checks but not much joy. Checked jb shacks local it was close to a paddle out but not quite.
I don't know where you guys are surfing...... Maybe I'm just jaded at the moment...
Maybe I should just paddle out, it's probably part of the reason I'm getting fat, to much checking driving looking not enough paddling....

So much fun yesterday, much better than we were expecting. Near on five hours of clean punchy waist to head high speed runs, can hardly walk today after all the cramps.

Nothing to report today?

A drive proved fruitful.

Wind effected and small, but only a small crowd and enjoyable none the less

I couldn't stand watching the Abb people wondering around ripping up the reef, then leaving their rubbish drifting through the waves

Well here i am in surf mecca GC with North West Winds and bugger all swell and apparently Perth has waves
Have surfed ok DBar - by my low Scarbs summer standards got the Sweet Potato out to rip shred and tear the lacklustre 1-2ft fatness and got completely schooled by the 10year olds ..surfed Kirra by myself and battled the sweep on two passes from groyne to way down past pizza hut and the other rock-got 3 waves worth remembering (low scarb summer standard) but Schooners are $4 and food is cheaper...Scarb standards need to lift in this regard

I was wondering where you've been hiding during this cracking run of waves we've been having.
Everyone is too surfed out to write about it here though...

^^^ Yeah - but, nah!

LBB VERY ordinary for the early. Wonky, rippy, inconsistent waist high sets with no push... occasionally the wind would look like it was going to drop and the waves would start to clean up - but it just never did (before 10:30am anyway).

Water temp was nice. Overall - 3/10.

PS - how does the service in that Bakery keep getting worse...? they should be killing it with the amount of people coming through so should be able to put another server on between 9:00am and 2:00pm surely?? The line was two wide and right out the door before 11:00am... we waited nearly 20min to be served.

I opted out of the planned drive and scored locally. Oh how the masses ammassed though.

Lanno bakery clarification.

there are two bakeries,

the he one which has been discussed is a good bakery no doubt. However the guy who owns the other bakery used to own said bakery and is the inventor of such delights as "the Pirates brekkie" which is a salubrious piece of pastry with a slice of bacon and an egg. This must off faded off the radar and personally have not seen it for some time. It is possible that I get to either establishment too late.
moving forward there is a new food in town, I believe it is called a surf dog or something of that nature, similar in taste to a cheese kransky wrapped in pastry. However this is where the similarities stop, the real delight is the sauce within ensuring no dry pastry.
anyway to summarise there are no waves in Lancelin and their is two bakeries one been good and the other excellent.

Across the Ditch.

Tourists and Sightseers galore, not so many dudes in the water.

Needed a big board and big paddling arms. Was worth every step of the walk 3kms back to the car where i paddled out.

I have more pics in case anyone's interested...

Probably to avoid ending up in boneyards with this guy:

A well timed rock-hop can make or break your session.

Its a bit of a paddle out from the beach...


Corduroy for days...
