In my old home town and thereabouts for ten days. Surfed my childhood local two days ago with a gutless swell an poor banks. It was horrible. Surfed a sucky 2-3 foot reef yesterday which was good fun. Hitting a few other reefs over the next few days which should be pretty good. Biggest crowd so far? Two other people.

perfect winter day ..clean small easterly swell hitting the beaches ...good for practicing reos on the closeouts ....the sand pumping barge hasn't done anything noticeable to the banks yet ...

Went out this morning and got myself a new steamer. It's a Vissla. Never heard of these before but its nice soft rubber, taped with a nice warm lining and batwing and it was 280. Went out into clean offshore waist to shoulder high peaks. Very nice but a little crowded. Water still pretty nice in.

Ifocus was asking about those wetties in the shortboard forum mate

...Willy's been wrong just about all week with his wind predictions, unfortunately not for the better until today. Devil wind in the morning swung round to the best direction at 9. My usual spots were poop, so popped down the road a bit to a reef I hadn't surfed in 4 or 5 years. Sand must be in all the right nooks & crannies & the swell & tides must have been in alignment coz it was heaps fun. Even got a little grab rail barrel on a set wave. Stoked to have a couple of extra local spots working at the moment

Took the longboard out at the local but it was a bit funny. Shifty peaks a little difficult to get on out the back & then I hurt the soft tissue in my left ankle landing hard on a freefall floater. Sound the board made landing had me thinking I'd snapped it or my ankle. I went in & grabbed a shortie. Just dodged sets & caught wave after wave of fun waves on the inside...ankles all blown up & dodgy now, but nothing a few beers won't fix

Just went for a walk /surf check. Ideal conditions but tiny and very inconsistent. Will have another look tomorrow.
