We've had some wild storms the past couple of days mate - I was surprised there was anything at all today .... but yes we can be days on end without love

You still planning to move East at some point Pup? If so when is it likely to happen?

No.surf for me today as Sundays I entertain the precious cargo. Went down to support the nodeckcrew at the narrowneck longboard comp. The lads scored some very fun waves.....until the finals and the devil south wind hit. Went to LM,and scored some yellow sand filled drainers. Very glad my neck was not snapped.

Well here are some narrowneck longboard pics

Yeah. Some if the bigger waves at lm where a lot of fun speeding down the line. Very good wave when it gets like that

Shattered can't believe Souths are out.
Bloody refs

Got a few lefts out there today. Nothing special. Was a bit rusty after not getting any waves for 2 weeks. Couldn't believe how much warmer the water is compared to a few weeks back. No sharks

^sorry bout that chrispy, tried to do two pics but fked up...swell dropped heaps here today but conditions were bit better.

Home & clean if on the small side but the odd pearler for reward

Salty Sea Dog you made me smile. Jedi tricks ummmmm

Look I was having problems going from my midlength to my shorty. My mid I could pop up and surf the board from anywhere. I could also get into waves so much easier so it sorta made me lazy. I also get into the bad habit of getting straight legged instead of compressing and extending.

On my pop ups I read something a while ago about popping up on dry land no more than ten times. So I worked out how many tiles on my floor would be my
board. Then I just started popping up. I guess I'm retraining my muscle memory. I will do it all the time over the last week and it seems to be working. Especially being bent at the knees and relaxed when I'm on my feet.

On the straight legs,I'm just on the skater and pretending I'm on a wave. I'm sure I look like a tad,but that too is working. Bend the knees low and compress,then extend the legs through my turn. Just big carves really....

When I'm in the surf I don't over think it,just a few good breaths and hope for the best

Looked like a wicked morning's haul champion

Some fun ones on the log today. Conditions were perfect for trying to cross step, but I still struggled. Just stepped right off the front of the board a couple of times

Yes indeed. This is what happened on my fourth wave This morning before the sun was even up

Ordered one a few weeks back - but might try n get an Evo or another Nano if I can one in Bali today. Have a mate driving back here Wednesday so he can bring it back for me.

Arrrggghhh thats tragic !!

1 foot clean beachie at Cenang beach Langkawi on a soft top yesterday. Warmest water I've ever felt, too warm if you don't pace your waves. Place is basically East of Northern Indonesia. I'm surprised how much warmer the water is than Bali & the sun goes down a lot later too. Bali's dark at 6pm, is like 7pm here...skys just clearing up after the fires in Sumatra...nice place, but I wouldn't plan a surf trip for here haha

Ted you did a great job on that board, if your gonna break a board, ya may as well do it right eh...so how exactly did it get so hammered? & did you do that at home or in Oz?

yep that was a decimation ted

a island yesterday was not as good as hoped but still some very chunky ones coming through

today no vanders,i did try and no luck,so went to a point closer to home...was crowded but lots of take off points...very fun.

tomorrow i hope to be at home...if our good banks have not been decimated by this swell...fingers crossed and then get my new board shaped
