Yeah sorry boys I don't have a camera at the moment. I killed one duck diving a bomb at airport rights on the first day of the "swell of the decade". And the other one died when I crash landed a parasail in Langkawai in September...I did edit a video for new years & then didn't post it coz I wasn't happy with it. Was going to re edit the vid, but stuff it I'll post it as it is...buying a new camera about April when we get consistent swell & I can claim duty free. Will try & make a lot more vids this year
Ted the Kiwi said... Nice one Mick glad you got some. Was the Pup in the water with ya?
Hope things heal fast Mr Funk. Bloody hot here today. Ahhhhhh wish we had something resembling a wave
I hope the southerly is on the way, That's 7 degrees cooler then up here. Been halfway up the hunter valley today and it was a balmy 46.... and a breeze that was like a fan forced oven..
No Surf today...but score some super fun with No1 son and his mate on a 1-2ft little peak 2hrs of fits and giggles as we all tried to "stupid stuff" No1 son's mate was struggling to grab a wave so I gave him my 6'6 x 21 x 2.75 "groveller"..he then became a wave pig He gave me his........6.0 x 18 x 2.25 shorty ...bloody good board if you are 14yrs old and 50kg.....friggin hell it became a challenge! To get my 93kg frame to ride it......... Like I said we all had fits and giggles
But it was ridden (Oh..no surf today...major north wind early and very small waves ....hope the change swing tomorrow)
Couple of glassy ones thought the swell might have been bigger but still good fun,water really warm and wind cross off to non existent,will check it for a latey around 5ish.Hope you're all getting a few
Surfed nowhere today . Went fishing and didn't do too well either but it was better than being at work. Howling southerly here but favourable winds are forcast from Monday on and I don't have to be at work until Thursday
Tux said.. Took the groms out in pumping 1 foot cosy corner...geez I wish I was about 70kg lighter
I had my son (Eleven) out last night also, it was super tinny but still maybe 12 other surfers in the line up. A rather small take of area and the smaller ones were just not working right. He fluffed around for the first half an hour but then that light bulb moment and he was ripping. He even started to take his turn on the set waves and the vibe was so pumping. On one wave in he was high 5'd but another surfer paddling back out. Lots of hooting by everyone and i couldn't contain my smile. Only stopped when we ran out of light

Thanks SP. yes did catch a couple on the board ... Fark it was small. Soon as I lost any sort of speed it just sunk?????? Yep. Living here is awesome. Love the place. As for the holidays. Broken Head. Been going there for a few years now. It more about great times than surf but I do get my share of waves????. Ourselves and another family and some friends book out 2 cabins and 4 tent sites. Heaps of fun and tall stories And some great surf... Particularly if you are prepare to walk for 20 mins??????

Lacey bought the 2 boards from under you?
After Lacey crashed his sea plane last week he is unable to return any time soon. On a serious note Wiz is not doing too good has a battle on his hands.
