And Houston, can you loop that SUP.

Seems like I was the only one silly enough to sup. Light onshore breeze buggered the waves so went for a paddle around the Iron Pot left my run a bit late further than I thought, 8.7km so Betsy is doable at 9.5km even though it looks heaps further.

Funny how hard it is to catch a wave in the dark

thinking of going for a SUP up Carlton River tomorrow. Anyone know how far up you can get before it gets too narrow?

You can get as far as the bridge at the primrose turn off, after that you run out of water, about a 10k return trip from the river mouth, follow the sticks just north of steeles island for a 100m or you will end up in the oyster beds

Great session, thanks for the call ant that was great.
You've gotta learn to come in earlier, only just back to the car before dark


I'll edit that t minute wave down and put it on YouTube tonight.
If the gopro worked.

That's an awesome spot when conditions are right shoulder to head high today I'm going back down tomorrow. Just checked observations wind was SSW would be better with a southerly and forecast Sun is southerly with swell
Fos picked up a ripper wave and disappeared must have been 100m

Just a small reminder, replace leg ropes about ounce a year.

Very (un)luck I didn't take out the president today when myine broke right out the back.
Its also a bugger to swim in against that rip.
Thanks for catching the board.

Also this spot is no good
We don't need anymore people there

Great day.. sup in the morning at Lauderdale point then down to boneyards for a second one with the supping elite of southern windsurf Tas, apart from our little 4 foot friend Buzzy who is doing us proud at GI.

Only low lights was Fos nearly taking the whole line-up out with his runaway 11 foot sup and usual sight of his hairy body. P.s thanks for the bundy mate

Yesterday Shorty and I went for a 2hr cruise from Pirates bay jetty down the coast to Tasman Arch, seals following us for about a k pretty cool in the sea caves and a little hairy, if a big one came through I reckon you'd get cleaned up pretty well.

How did you go today Brettski? trust you came in no.1 like our little mate in GI

I went up the Huon River the last couple of weekends. The best place to park is at the end of Helen St in Ranelagh. Its right on the river. From there its a couple of km or so up to the rapids. Beautiful spot.
