alley looked like it was on when we were training this morning unfortunately when I get home its on shore.

long board into hollow waves. pros you can get going and set up earlier


cons , get it wrong its chin music with a whole lotta board.


good boards all the time or good luck, but the greenie is the board for these conditions if one is going to use a long board.


however a good short board generates so much more speed in the hollows and 'fits' better




ps sunday morning was so mucccccccccch fun

its not that heavy.

its no kirra put it that way

it was toss up on the day. kept thinking about going in for the shortie but I also knew it was going to fill up pretty quickly too

Got a few little knee to waist high runners today. Banks are pretty bad at the moment but it improved as the tide got a bit higher. Better than nothing

Working and staying at bronte nice little n/east swell but crap banks at both bronte and glamarama plenty of punters out though walked around to Bondi and sculptures by the sea is on some great works and some twisted minds -worth a look if you're Southside

Anyone see the surfboard cubes at sculpture by the sea a year or two ago?



A couple of old boards of mine finished up in there, but the artist (a mate David Brophy) refused to cut up two because they were in too good nick for old boards. Eighties sprays were his go to boards. They were exhibited in Cottesloe and Sydney.

That goofy at the 1:55 mark showed some real class. Nice execution.

No Drip - did not surf. Too busy with work at the moment. Although to be honest this is the worse time of the year to be on the east coast. So I am not really thinking about surfing at the moment. Back home next week and will be ready to make up for 3 weeks without.

This is a pretty accurate description of the last few days

A steep rise in short-period SSE swell set in a little later than Wednesday’s projections; remaining small and windblown at about 2ft across south facing breaks throughout Thursday preceding a late push that began to show across Sydney after 5.00pm. Early Friday morning revealed a junky 3 to 5ft sea-state that left little to be desired. As mentioned on Wednesday this episode is the by-product of a broad surface trough and embedded low that’s been drifting slowly northeast across the Tasman Sea over the last 24 hours or so, supporting a short-range SSE/SE fetch in conjunction with an anteceding high pressure ridge.



And sadly that is pretty much what things look like as a general rule at this time of the year over here.

Yep 2.5 hours of great fun longboard waves the bank was working much better this morning.


So much so ducked home for a board change,log time,see you cool cats later

Just got back from some ok waves around head high. Paddled up the beach and rode this little left at kiddies corner. Nice little walls and a few noserides . Paddled back down the middle and got a few and got one in amongst the weekend crowd to come in on. Pretty happy. Just boardies and rashie today

No surf today but went in SDRs board store and had a drool. Could easily buy 4 or 5 of the shooters in there if I had some money.

Green 8.0 gun as you walk in is cool

Took the log probably the wrong choice for the second surf of the day still some nice ones on offer,clean and long.
I saw a guy who looked like an older version of MF

LM then snapper then LM took the poolroom board out for its mayden voyage should have taken the Noserider instead

a one foot day on high tide you and I might think- okay its a nose rider day.


not so our prez of all things long boarding.

an inspired choice of the pinnacle was a master stoke.



hahahahaha

I'm just waiting for the tide to come up and hopefully the wind to drop off before I head down.

3 foot. Longboard again. Got hated by a local in the car park - "Your not bringing the cargo ship out here" - and promptly ignored him with a smile and "You know that's all I'm surfing out there."

Still a few solid ones about which is really surprising as the swell is 1.2metres and falling. I caught two waves in the session that were around double overhead and a few more went through unridden

Back out there again today. There was a mix of north east and south east swells. Waves ok on low tide. Shared a peak with 2 others. Still a bit spooked about yesterday but still got a few. Boardies and rashie again.
