That's strange

I always thought of him as more of a snake than a shark !!!!!


But shark is good.

You Don't want to keep him now that you've got him up there do you

OB that is so unkind....... Just for that I'm going to surf Arrawarra tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday morning, before a midday surf at Plomer on the way home and I'm going to text you photos all the way down.....

See you when I get home wednesday.

Mac, I'll be thinkin got you working while I'm having a nice road trip......

Thanks to Vanders, Mac and Lacey for the company at LM and for that nice little 666 paddle. It was a real pleasure having me at your end of the beach.......

Was great to have ya up here mate, as I said I'm hoping to catch up with you blokes next Sydney trip which shouldn't be too far away, until then safe travels & many happy waves.

Bastards

not me pup sadly for me I worked

What a cock up. Had great plans to surf my way home to Sydney over two days.

Had a neat two hour session at LM between 7.30 and 9.30 yesterday, that bloke with the orange shirt and matching bourd was there again, but the goat boater was pissin' everyone off...... I then settled in for the trip to Arrawarra. Got there thinking it would be a good place to stop for sunset wave, then a possible early wave, then push home today. Nothin, mill pond, so kept moving. Went to Crescent, Plomer and Port Mac north wall, all yesterday arvo and decided the surf gods were telling me to go home, which is what I did. Arrived home to my bride at 10 last night.

Aks again to Mac, Vanders and Lacey for the laughs.... But seriously, you have to lose the paddles.........

Nice work Sean - glad to see you are back out there so regularly these days and making use of that shift work torture you have to do

I am stuck in the City this week working sadly so no beach time....but checked the report this morning just to confirm my expectations and was shocked at what I saw.....for a long time I have questioned the judgement of our local reporter and today was no exception......

Seriously when did 1-2ft weak swell = a 5 out of 10 day???? Often when its 6ft perfection it only scores a 7 or 8 yet we can get a 5 when its crap. Perhaps he is dumbing down the reports for the lowest common denominator.....is this happening in your area as well?


Effective From: Thu 10 Oct 06:21AM
Surf: Clean 1-2ft
Wind: Light WNW
Weather: Fine And Sunny
Swell Direction: ENE
Tides: Low 07:39PM High 12:56PM
Rating: 5/10
Waves have dropped a little more to be in the 1-2ft range from the ENE and joined by a light WNW wind keeping conditions clean. Still some nice little peaks coming through but just a little small and lacking push, maybe with a bit of searching to those spots that suck in the swell could be worth getting wet. A nice looking day and looking to be a hot one.

I had a look today Ted but it was tiny and windy and not worth it. The tide was right up it as well and lapping on the shore everywhere I looked. That was around lunchtime.

I hear ya ob and MR - I also love those sneaky little surfs you get with no one else out....I am happy to call those a 5/10 day from a personal point of view if you are weighing up both the waves and the session you had but a surf reporter should be giving an objective view point of the waves only...personally I think that the one we have up here is there for comedy value only Personally I just check the buoys and wind and view it myself. But its nice to know whats going on at home sometimes when you are away or you are at a place that is foreign and you are hoping to get an semi inside leg up Only to be disappointed by the goose who wrote it

Mac's mate Stu form Stuart Surfboards fame,I have not seen him for a long time,great bloke.

First surf out on the longboards in about 3 months this afternoon . Got down the beach thought shat what have I forgotten , wetty on check , booties on check , gath helmet yep , board , leg rope all there . Ahhh that's it , no paddle

first paddle out and first wave felt a bit weird

Get that barge out again and up the other end of the beach where it can't hurt anyone. Might try it as a quad today.

How big is your 666 SMH . Have my 9 2 set up with quads and nubster my favourite board at the moment . Surprising the difference the nubster makes .

Mines a 10'6 Laird surftech Tassie. I picked it for its big concave nose and longboard shape because I want to nose ride it. It can be set up as a quad so I'll see how it goes. I'm really only getting the hang of it but getting better every surf. I usually stay away from the pack though. Not really confident just yet.

Good work fellas & congrats Lacey on the new stick.
