i would have called you smico but it was going to be a 2 day mish,sailed back last night after a dive ,lost the ski again snapped the tow line in the 30kt southerly, fun for my mate swimming for it in that breezethen got the tow line wrapped around one of the props
Had a packed day ahead of me Saturday, had to be at the Cricket at 10 and had a party straight after that (first world problem ha ha). Decided to head to my local reefy, swell was forecast as big but noticed the direction might stunt it a bit.
Got there about 30 min after sunrise, crowded but not in the usual places, it was a bit shifty, fat etc but I was a man on a mission so lowered the expectation and paddled out over the super shallow reef thanks to the low tide and out into the line up.
I could not believe the amount of people having a winge about the 'wrong' forecast ha ha! I was having a ball managing a few fun ones, missing some, calling in guys when I couldnt get on the face and all the while half the people around me were having a cry It was the first day of Summer so I was just glad there was a wave at all
^good one mate. Closest I've had to a surf is looking on gumtree and seeing my old boards I have sold circulating up there. Happen to anyone else whom have sold their boards on that site?
Southern beachie was so fun today on the 9'1 mal, even got a couple of little head dips on the inside. Just me & a guy riding a very interesting board. Looks like the front 6 foot of a snapped mal with a deep concave, no fins & like just totally straight tail like a mal had snapped & he'd just dug out the concave & glassed the end lol...I got talking to him & he said to feel how light it was & yeah I was shocked how super light it was. He was doing really well on it too, riding along the face no worries & doing 360 floaters on just about every wave. It was really cool to watch : )
Couple of lids chancing it on a dry slab over on rotto, that was all that was available. No crays either
Not looking too inviting at the northern beaches or reefs. It's trying though. Maybe in a few hours?
Cycle past report: 1:00pm
No one out Hillary's to Trigg 3rds - not even a kiter... Swell coming up, but a very unsettled ocean. Weed everywhere!!
^^^
Good on you... I can't do it... just don't function at that time of day (night!).
Waited for the 9:00am shift change and did ok at a less popular beachie - a bit wonky and rippy, but some shape and length of rides when it all lined up.
pretty devoed i'm stuck at work up north with the swell around and a light offshore.
Why couldnt it have happened last week when i was home?
Got to the Perth Surf Circus at around 9.30
Some pretty good waves rolling in but typical crowd, typical wannabe pros, etc etc
Scored a few though.
Waited for the weekend rent a crowds to get blown off the water then rigged up in mast high plus epicness
