I went down the town this arvo to pick up some Thai takeaway and it's really picked up from this morning.

Do you ride the same board or do you have a gun for bigger stuff?

Mate I can only ride a 666. Cant jump to my feet properly after a back injury. I've got 2 longboard style boards and a narrower pointy one for when it gets bigger. My shortest board is 10'6. It's got some size out of the south down here today. I'm working all weekend but will be out there from Monday on. Good to see you're all getting some waves

Yep. Knew about your back and longboard style SUPs. I was just wondering about their efficacy when it got bigger or if the early in with the paddle alleviated the drawbacks of a wide nose, or if you had a board for the bigger waves. Is the 10'6" the gunny one?

Its 29 wide so not very narrow but the longboard style boards i have go pretty good in the bigger waves as well. Not too big though. It's pretty punishing getting worked with a board that big. I've got a belly board as well which is good for a change of pace.

Funny you say that smh about belly boards.When I lived at Currumbin for a while my mate there knew Jim Banks fairly well,we went around to his shop one day and just having a yack,I saw this bellyboard leaning against the wall.I had a joke with him and said is that your kids or some kids board,he said no it's mine,I ride it quiet often to get the feel of tuberiding!...

Lm on the seaplane a bit uneven and random.
Scored a cracker from wide of the point to the beach. Lined up all the way.
A carpark wave

Didnt see vanders

12 surfs in 13 days @ the local point - almost looking forward to the northerlies forecast for Tuesday I think.

Had so many amazing waves of past couple of weeks. People travel all over the world for these waves we've had.

Surfed in town this morning with a couple of old mates up here on hols,nice in the water and not fantastic but not bad waves!..

The old fella went home for a nap so I went back out this time at LM smaller but the water is so so nice.

So did this old fella Geez the water would be magic up your way now Mac

I'm into it tomorrow . Just hope there's some swell left . It was still decent size today

Local beachie....NE winds and new weather system have killed the groundswell here
2ft of fun was available on the dying swell

Heh Ted, I know why there was no crowd where you were...they were all here ..... but the vibe was "tense" in the lineup . It was like everyone was scrambling for the last wave of their life..Got out after about 45mins..was loosing its appeal.
A few of the lads in the line up exchanged some words ... the snaking and dropping in was just out of control. Mostly by a "younger" (not groms) group who would hang in groups of 3-5. Guys I know who surf normally for 2hrs plus each day, just got out of the water, gave up and walked away.
BUT
tomorrow is another day and I am a day closer to a camp / surfing trip a bit north of here ...

Just back from a pretty long session . Nice head high waves with the occasional bigger one. Got plenty and was out for nearly 4 hours. toward the end I was having trouble staying on. Rode the 11 footer.

Yep it was pretty good Ted but it's going to be a lot better once school hols are over .

Blown out rubbishy today . Not happy but the wind is supposed to swing around tomorrow

Hey Mick,whats happened o your solo shot haven't seen any clips for ages,must one on the boil soon,small waves here on the central coast but should be waves friday after the southerly hits thursday arvo,good to be back into it again

^^^Doh! I knew it would be good! I'm stuck up in Perth board less for a few days that just happen to coincide with the most decent swell in a while :-(
Glad you scored Mick post some pics if you have any

Surf is about to get awesome.

Just had part of my bottom lip removed thanks to skin cancer and I can't get wet for a few weeks. That is a certain guarantee of awesome surf.

When it hits, just remember to thank me!!
