getting waves ted. it looks a bit rough on the face mate. is that a bit of morning sickness on it

That's pretty much considered glassy in West Oz...fingers crossed for you Ted.

Nice one Ted I read your boards didn't turn up

Yesterday afternoon at Maroochydore was just insane.
The surf report said 3-4' (roll my eyes at that one) but the bouys topped 5 metres.
Paddled out at about 2pm after doing a run (in the car that is) to Brisbane and back in the morning.
Got a cold and not feeling too good but the waves were just crazy.
Lines of swell just wrapping in from the North the likes I've not seen before.
Made the mistake of paddling out on a 6'2".
Got out the back fairly easily and a nice big set came with no one looking keen.
Paddled hard and the offshore held me up the top so I could have a view of the yawning drop below as it hit the bank, unloaded and ran away without me.
Ok...another one with me in position (or so I thought) and paddle hard only to have the same thing happen again.
Started to then second guess my choice of such a little itty, bitty board (yes gents, this is the longboard forum) and wished I paddled out on my 7'6" midlength so I had the paddle power to get in early.
Anyway it was amazing seeing the waves come through from the water angle and I did get a couple but nothing like the haul I'd normally jag when riding the equipment appropriate to the wave size and power.

Walked down to look at what was left today and it was a different world.

And nice pics Ted...hope you have a ball.

Messy hung over from the stormy stuff early here sadly - going back in a couple of hours for another suss

Probably a bit of a wave today. But my glutes & back are still aching from brick paving a few days ago. Still walking a bit funny lol

Matt and his mates are heading down and taking back up boards,my advice was look after YOUR bank account

Back in the water after a forced exodus (3 months, i think) - Surfed a right hand reef break with a mate who I hadn't caught up with for near on 15 years.

Low tide, howling offshore and clean 3-5 ft... Like two old codgers, both of us were reminiscing about how we would paddle the long distance from one break to another break and back again to get the best sets. Now we just sat there and waited out the lulls for the sets to come to us ....Jelly arms.
