...Looks fun Captain, guessing its about head height with a barrel option & no one out

Absolute smoker of a day, wasn't planning on staying out long coz I'm a bit surfed out from the last few days. But couldn't leave, it just got better & better'er

Gotta Love those days MicK....

Sons footy this morning but we managed a few at the town beach (Which is usually crap) this arvo shoulder height fun, clean and Crisp. Nice

Yeah untill the missus got home & was hell pissed at me for forgetting some plans to look for a new outdoor table/chairs. Apparently the fact it was one of the best days this year was not an acceptable excuse

Had some fun waves at Piddletons, sounds good mate

Watched some crew surf some amazing log waves today. I was so jealous..

Tomorrow will be better......i hope

Unlucky drip. Im still healing from two months ago when my mal did a slingshot and broke my cheekbone and nose. Hit ne that hard my nostril tore lol.....

No surf today but i saw this off my deck....i think they made a wrong turn

My fin chop was one the most visually gruesome injuries i have ever had....

This smash spooked me at how easy it happened. If i had a helmet would it have helped? Nope......if the board smacked me a inch or two in a different spot? Would have saved my life....just food for thought for me out loud


I never got hurt this much playing grade so yeh cage fighting might be the go. I could see myself in a tapout shirt with my white sunnies

Good stuff Tux

.....I broke my nose the same way a few times Drip, need to do it again & set my nose straight. I always put it back in place myself & didn't get it quite right the last time

Sounds like you need a longer leggy Chrispy

Solid today. I broke my nose being slapped onto the deck while taking off.

This surfing has knobs on it.

Anyone want to teach me crochet?

Soft board

I wish I could surf this good on a normal board

It was just like yesterday but smaller and bumpier . Still got a few though.

Remember that big swell we had SP ? It was just after that

Surf 4 ft super fat waves on the mal (i had a 9ft leash so how much bigger should it be mickpc )

So a fun session on the outer banks and tbe shorties were in the shorie...

Ok you know when you get a big gutter and when tbe waves then draws on tbe shorey and jacks...it was like that.

So i catch the wotd and im cruising past tbe shorties when tbe most perfect inside section started to wedge. So im thinking **** thjs js just getting better. As i pull in i see the next ten metres turn yellow so im thinking the usual go under and pop up behind it.

All was good as i went under. Copped a super fun shorey beating but felt no pulling on the leggie ( i was told as i was being churned my mal was at maximum stretch. So as i have popped up out tbe back of the wave the board has then been catapulted into my face lol.

Then i had to duck atwo more bangers. As im getting my **** together old mate goes to help me but just crumbled. So yeh **** just happens.

Sounds about right mate, just said maybe the leash coz I've seen a lot of people head out on LB, mids with your typical 6 foot SB leash. I did it myself when I first got a LB.

I reckon lots of people have leggies that are too thin or too short. I hate swimming after boards so I always go for minimum 8mm and 8ft on my shorties. On the fish for 2' waves I use the 6' numbers. My 8' has a 10' leggie, my longboard and 9'6" gun both have 12' leggies, 8mm and 9mm respectively.

Best watch out when I wipe out as my boards carve a huge swathe through the lineup.
