Just shared the lineup with a huge school of dolphins - they were in no hurry and played around me for about 15 mins - swimming underneath me and sharing a few waves - epic!! No one could believe it how friendly they were - with most saying "jeepers people pay to swim with these lovely creatures, how lucky are we!!!!"

What a day its been and its only 11:30am!

Score...bit slow down here...didn't bother after racking up 16 hours of surf in the previous 4 days...

You just seem to be having way to much fun Ted

I won't tell ya then that this evenings session was absolute perfection. Thought I was in Indo - as did the 5 others - every one was hooting everyone into every wave. Some lulls but the sets were much bigger than the rest of the day. It was incredible. I am absolutely knackered Seems the big swell has moved the sand around perfectly onto many of the beaches.

Fingers crossed we have another little pulse tomoz here .... will be awesome to have a relaxed surf for a change

Bummed out this morning ....

Same I had to go to the big smoke for an early meeting

I have just had 3 and a bit hours of absolute glass walls .... Lord Hughance blessed me with stoke and a touch of froff this morning - shoulder highs and the odd head or so - just me for pretty much the first 2 hours from dark

Got a bit crowded so I left with a wavepig load of rides , geez I love my midweekers .... didn't see my offsider brother MickPC & I hope he was down south a bit cleaning up

Farken stoked - know I am rooted because I am smashing 5 shredded wheats with a heap of sugar

Thankyou Hughance I owe ya one buddah

Congrats on the big 15 Mick - well done to you both - especially yr lady

dropping in on your son is a very serious offence.



crime against the greenroom. i'm going to put a tail pad on so i know were i am and hit the sweet spot. as expect doesn't pickup like the hot log but i got one of the nicer suckier waves and well its so good in there.

i really want to get some time in on decent waves- not like todays log waves.



ted, the nano is a speed machine . loves those long drawn out turns with the thump on the end. glides over the flats. the big volume is good and bad. easy wave catching but im having a bit of trouble getting the tail in. found some good speed and turns on some rights and generally got better as i went. i have to jam my back foot against the tailpad kicker which is a good thing- put your pad right back near the leggie plug.


im going to set it up as quad for some more bite seeing as the volume is too big. 6' feels right tho

cheers

Funny I haven't surfed with him for about 4 years he is always around the corner at a HP shot board wave while I'm on the softer longboard waves.
I saw him on a bomb out the back at snapper so I waited for him to come into LM so I had to it right

Lacey from my view it sucks.

Well.for the last two weeks we have had incredible waves. The last two days have been tiny,but after four hours yesterday on knee to waist high on the big beast,well I think I'm finally getting somewhere with walking on the board.

Today was the shock though. Took the big girl when I really could have taken the shorty,or even better my hp. Waves were two to three and peeling like a point break. As the tide dropped it just got more fun as they got suckier and offered more power. So much fun.

We have had dolphins and sharks,but **** all tourists. A hard paddle out makes it hard for them holiday folk.
Great to.read that you have all been scoring....Lacey,my tip is head up here about 7

Made a pig of myself over the next hour. Totally stuffed now ????

love reading this

Well well well,you told me you were always taking two boards,but didn't today

The shape of those waves were perfect,nice steep drops and walled up into LM

Stuck some tape and re-finned the Pinnacle for some clean small B Bay sliders tomorrow

I sure will mate I had full exportations of taking a few happy snaps,if I can find it.
