Go tomorrow morning

Mate just refuelled in coffee Lacey is buzzing

Finally found time for a wave this morning. Some nice little 3 footers until the high tide ruined it. New board went ok - needs more fin with that big tail borrowed a mates set of thrusters for the Occassion and it just felt too loose so struggled to push it too hard without spinning it out. Will have a hunt round for a better fun setup - all my futures sets are in Indo sadly. So might just have to put up with them for another 10 days or so. I think a quad setup will be the go.

There are some awesome people in this world, Pat who fixed my board is one of them...thought this board was gonna be a banger. I've sold my log & I'm back on the SDR. Whoever would have thought this board would be looking so beautiful again and man does she feel so maneuverable after riding the log for 9 months.

Wind was not the best today, but no crowd & a a good size swell was epic fun on my old board...even with a dodgy C3 sore neck atm. Stoked



Hard to believe she looked like this last week

Sensational day, over head, no crowd & no wind...so good to be back on the Clearwater

Checked it this afternoon to find dribble with a south easter on it so went for a 1 1/2 hour paddle up the local river. I had it all to myself . Hard work but glad I done it.

Any photos after the repair?

Yes mate, that top photo is after the repair. If you look just above the CW insignia you can see a slightly darker yellow & then to the right of that another one from the double fin chop. Like I said Pat is a legend, did an awesome job getting the pigment very close to the original colour. Board looks close to new again & rides the same


Actually looks even better than the photo, its got a chinese wax job in that pic from the board going the wrong way into the board bag & sitting on the roof of the car while the missus & I did some food shopping. I dewaxed it completely after taking the pic, then went to take another pic & my phone battery had died.

Just about to leave. The wind is finally from the right direction.

Cheers mate....yeah there is a soul surf shop sticker covering a repaired ding. But I've never seen it, the previous owner is responsible for that one

Surfed Raglan, shoulder high, you guessed it, left. Such a great surf till filled up with people and tide.

Not much happening here today fellas
