I didnt think Trigg would be any good yesterday but went and had a look at thirds and it was not bad, was happy with that

Went south of the river with a few mates on Saturday and scored as well, new board was going very well

Very happy with it Soleman I wasnt sure about the single concave with a quad but it works very well. Ive had a few off Colin but this one is the best by along shot

Tbh I thought that it was going to be a bit small for me but it has a wider nose and tail with a relaxed rocker so it paddles into waves very easy. Rails are lower than I would normally order but geez it turnes on a dime. I rate it alot

Looks good doggie, what fins you got in? What do you reckon the knubster does? I feel it when it's in I think it does something good but I'm not sure wat? Apart from surf more like slater!!!
I just got a set of Powerbase fins to try out in the katana quad, they look good cant wait to give em a crack - DXL fronts with DM rears ( I think they look like m7 sorta and M4 if there was such a size)

I recon the knub just gives a positive feeling, I havnt surfed a quad that feels like this. Its got the speed of a quad but has the stability of a thruster. I have PC7s in the front and G-XQs in the rear. I think the single concave works very well with the quad. So fricken stoked I rang Colin yesterday and had a chat he sounded more stoked than me

Haha how stoked does Colin get!! I like it. Whenever you go you have to wait because he is chatting to someone. then your visit takes about 15 mins longer because he is always up for a chat. He's a real honest, helpful bloke and the surfing community in Perth is lucky to have these guys. I'm sure they could earn more doing other things, but we appreciate them.

When I rang him you hear the excitment in his voice, he was just stoked to have me on his boards again. He turned 50 on friday and dosnt look a day over 30 and surfs like he is 19. Great bloke

Weed, weed and more frickin weed...

A couple of banks working at Perth's most crowded break... but man it was crowded. I actually went back down for the shift change at 10:00am and there were still heaps in the water.

With the predicted forecast Saturday will be madness...

Had a bit of wind on it today. I was hoping it would back off. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

Interesting pic anyway.

Anyone had a look at the Trigg/Scarb stretch this morning? Cams show it to be nearly flat on 0.4m at Cott...

Swell is dropping like a stone atm, back up again tomorrow morning. Saturday is looking better and better at this stage

Nearly dead flat! Four desperate mal riders mid Trigg... and it's not even knee high - didn't see anything worth paddling for - not even for exercise. At least 95% of the weed has gone...

Fingers crossed for the predicted swell bump!

Spent the morning get hammered in reasonable closeouts. Hit the bottom twice

There was the main peak with loads i mean maybe 30 or so and one guy further down who was beating sections like super man

It was fun to get wet, just didn't enjoy the sand, wind, back wash, there was sum really stupid arrogant drop ins, (not against me) and the surf school turned it for me.

But enjoyable getting smashed for a few hours, heaps more enjayable than running around a park getting yelled at by a trainer

Trigg Zoo was not that special. Crowd was nearly shoulder to shoulder at 9:30am... wind and backwash affecting what could have been a decent bank...

Lots of dropping in, and you had to really compete for the bigger ones. Took the fun out of it so I sat off to the side and waited for the smaller ones...

Even the lunchtime slot had 20 or so blokes sitting on the one (inconsistent) peak. The usual mix of a couple of red-hot surfers, a couple of mals, a couple of learners and the rest of us.

Not sure about the forecast spike in swell (for the metro area), but it has dropped off noticeably.

Conditions improved at mettams. Been up there since 8am and just left. Only surfed for about an hour though. Some okay ones ended up rolling through but my god, what a kook fest. Drop ins galore and more goatboats than you can imagine. Still, 'warm' water and blue skies. Not all bad.
