Looking ok tomorrow. The local should be clean but not sure what the banks will be like. Back out there on the barge with the deck grip all over it.

frother looks unreal

Those waves look like lots of fun Chrispy - glad you getting some good ones. Back out in the water tom and I am frothing at the bit. Hope I can remember how to surf No doubt the paddle fitness will be well down sadly.

Nice pics Crispy, that last one could have been taken where I surfed this morning with 3 other guys. Much cleaner than yesterday...I was stumbling down onto the nose of my log getting some nice nose rides. Well not quite toes on the nose, but great fun. Then grabbed my germ when the offshore picked up & it got a bit lumpy. Stoked to get some fun waves before the long weekend warriors arrive

Clean head high peaks from lunchtime on. Just got back. For most of it I just shared a bank with another longboarder. warm water too but a little discoloured after all the rain.

Torquay Point was fun today. My mate Dean snapped this pic of me on my Red Brewer.

Not as fun as yesterday,but still a brilliant day. My body is so sore

Tomorrow is looking like the pick of the week.....and the new board went bat nuts crazy.....felt so good from the very first pop up

where exactly is gold coast bro?

Secret spot in W.A mate

Great stuff ted. Looking forward to the pics mate

Right now I feel like a 14 yo grom who is beyond spent but can't wait for the morning cold beers, footy, fire and animals yeeeeeoooooooooow

Not buying a board for a while lacey.....but this new shorty has blown me away. As soon as I popped up i felt secure.......took a few to get going, being back under 7ft.

Had so much fun banging them lips. Give me a demo on it

Dawn Service, then a quick fish for some fathead then a surf for an hour (or 2) on some of the best surf i have had for a long time.....freakish long walls on a beach break section that shall remain nameless down here......got a bit crowed as the tide filled up and the word got out but sheez it was good...

The view from the front yard when I got home yesterday. The rain came shortly afterwards and cleaned it up beautifully. What an afternoon. Certainly made for an interesting return to the water after 4 weeks out. Some critical drops and sections to negotiate.

I actually surfed the MR yesterday. Thought it would be a nice way to ease back into things. It goes beautifully. its a pretty solid piece of machinery - has been glassed super heavy / strong. Its an absolute peach of a board when its gets a bit bigger. Its very long and narrow and is hard for me to push it too hard. I wish it had a bit more volume though. Its a nice board for big drawn out turns, high speed cuties and speed runs. It feels very solid under feet and holds its line perfectly in hollow pits. Pretty much does everything you want it to. My go to board is a FW Nano though. Love that thing to death. It has a very large wave range - surprised me on the upside how it goes. Even in the real hollow stuff its all good. Could not be happier with it. I feel like the quiver is good at the moment but I really need two more boards to finish it off. I want a bigger chunkier 7'2" or similar for when its a bit windy, lots of water moving and bigger. I also need a new step up - something around the 6'4"-6'6" with a pulled in tail - good for 4-6ft stuff. Will be a while though as two many other things to spend money on at the moment sadly.

Good stuff ted

I got two surfs in. The local which the pic is from was fun once again. These banks and swell just keep on giving. Then went across the pond and it was ok

I'm glad to be going back to work as my body was aching when I got up this morning.
