Love it when you start surfing a place for a few years and you get to see everything it has to offer on all conditions and seasons.

I can surf my local throughout the whole year across 3 different boards - almost always a wave on offer if you are not stuck with the 1 board approach.

Summer fun on the main peak with the crowd right through to epic solid winter waves on the lesser known peaks that fire on certain conditions and those rare days when you pick the conditions against the forecast and score really good waves with very few or no one out!

I like the novelty wave or "invisibles" as we call it, you need to score it by chance that one time and try and suss out why it was good that day. You might ask a few crusty legends if they can predict it or just keep checking it over a period of time. You will get it wrong more often than not but after hours of fruitless checking you start to get some idea and be rewarded with uncrowded bliss, they may not be the best spots but that feeling of anticipation as you head there is priceless. Much better than just heading to guaranteed spot and finding 30 others have checked the camera or a simply too lazy to go anywhere else.
