^ I thougt you owned a gun...

Surfed my smallest waves all winter today, was sunny and just me and a mate so was fun but **** small waves are horrible....

Own a few guns SP , all safely in the gun safe

Have been enjoying my original gun lately , not that it saw the water today . Took out the Goddard and Jimmy Lewis today . Have the gun set up with quads which will be interesting next time out .

So how was today ? Did you go and look at the windwanking?.. Or even the ocean?

no didn't end up going SP , kicking myself , all the talk was it was going to be at a beach called the back of lighthouse which involved a km walk in . ended up being at Temma harbour which could have driven to . following it online supposed to be 50 knot winds and mast high waves , would have been unreal to see .
was reading about the competitors in the comp , supposed to bring the top 6 , ended up having to bring in the third reserve as all those above him were out injured - wonder why going out in conditions like today .

checked out the ocean here this morning , is big but not massive ,very churned up . I think the real big stuff is coming late this afternoon / tonight , check out surf forecast - northwest Tasmania -mini bluff - where our weekend shack is , 8 meter swell , wave energy 20 something thousand ( normally over 100 is a good fun surf for me ) 60 knot winds

same here Chrispy , heres a couple of pics from the live cross , in the local media release they asked for all the locals to stay out of the water while the comp was on , who is mad enough to go out into that

TD can you pls change your profile pic if you are gonna hang in the greenroom on a Sunday

Ohhhhhh It it so fun when you get it right..so bad when you get it wrong , in 50knts and big seas...unless your sponsored, its all about gear preservation and caution...had some big swims when it goes wrong.

On a side note..had a great two hour surf in 2-4ft at my local this morn..
had the yips on the drop to start with then got it together, awesome long drawn out rights, with some steep short lefts for good measure

surfed sliders coz I am still desperate

Mate that looks a whole lot nicer than what I farked around with hahaha

Should be already up then. Isn't tassie behind the rest of Australia

Madness. Not sure I would want to catch a small plane like that in those winds - yuck.

Well done to the poor cameraman and ski driver - I bet they took a few pastings in less than ideal conditions
