Thanks fellas for the nice comments. Seriously LL would smash me any day of the week. Prawnhead goes pretty good to ! I am pretty sure Tux smashes it up and lots of others on here. Mick has some nice turns. Tea cake would probably be the champ though - he has nice style n all the moves. I think we all just have fun and that is the main thing. Today was just one of those amazing days in winter - and really one of the main reasons I choose Australia as my place of residence. The water is fairly warm still, whales everywhere, the sun is out - blue skies all day - a light offshore and 4 to 5ft of swell in the morning that dropped as the day went on. I spent 6 hrs in the water. I am knackered now. If I was back home in NZ there is no way I would be doing 3 surfs a day in late June ! Plus it would be windy and cold (most likely) and there would be lots of rocks to avoid - so I would have to wear booties.
Was actually a bit embarrassed about the top turn with the spray - far too straight in the body in the sequence - its like I think I am on the BGB still. I spent the late arvo surf trying to correct it.
Australia rocks - once you get more than 100km from the big cities the surf is generally uncrowded and unreal mid week with the consistent swell and settled wind conditions.
Jb - thats the Potatonator - Its become my go to board 90% of the time. Hoping to replace it with LL's Nano when he decides to upgrade
