Seriously i would have died for that, how early are you talking? We got their about 10 ish and although we were down a bit, this was a set wave

The most fun was seeing the young guys parade up and down being towed on a Wakeboard behind the car, especially when one poor fella lots his pants completely

Edit: Oops i just re read that and missed the THEY scored shoulder high.. How did Jake like his new board

we were in the water by 7 jb no one out kids had fun although weird it only seem to be hitting the northern end
Jake loved his new 5'0 but I think I should have gone 5'4,i went low volume as he is learning to duck dive

Nice little kick in the swell - Northerly ruffling the top from 10:00am... TP and Smots the best of it. Metts fat despite the low tide.

Was looking good this morning then the wind killed it big time.
Disappointing and now have a new forehead shaped ding in my board.

Yep, I got out there just in time for the ill wind, too. But it was good for emptying the line up.
Yay for getting wet

Yes it was a good onshore session Buster and well worth the effort. I liked the way it was just getting bigger the longer we were out and that new board of yours was looking better the bigger it got.

Yep, I'm looking forward to the call when it's bigger still. Cheers for that!

Did no one surf today?

I mean, everyone! How packed was everywhere??
Plenty of carnage to be sure.

4 guys out and two went in, then 3 came out and one snapped a board, the numbers were staking in our favour until a fire at spot sent everyone to our beach. The pushing and joycling started coming down the stares Then it was all of a sudden very crowded. But i had already had my fill so still happy

Snapped another one. Was lumpy but some great waves to be had. Managed a few to myself before this happened.

I've snapped 2 JS boards in the last year - both straight across the middle like yours.

Suspect glassing or just coincidence?

That's disconcerting :-/
Mine had a small delamination bubble along the line where it cracked, so I guess I was always on borrowed time.

But yeah, glass is very thin. But God, the board rode well. 5'8" and super responsive. Second board in a year :-(

As for the rum...there's also a carton of beer under the diving gear hahaha...but I don't actually drink ;-)

Soooo you just keep it there so you can offer your mates a nice warm beer after a surf/dive?

I work at sea a few times a week...so if the boat ever runs out of beer I've got a carton ready to go ;-)
It's emu, so I'm happy to give it away ;-)

Also always keep beers in the car for when we prawn trawl the river (research).

Get with the times Zuke, it's been established that I've gotten soft in the past 2 years and now surf in a 2mm springy chest zip

But really, another board? I don't know anyone who goes through boards like you.

Yep another board.
I don't ditch my boards and I try to look after them...but I am in the water more than most people I know and given I was the only one in the water where I was this morning I probably get more stormy dredging waves than many people....and it took one trip over the falls today to end in disappointment.

Bad timing...was only in for 30 minutes before it happened and I've only got a gun and an old Len Dibben single fin left...looks like I'll be taking photos tomorrow.
