Surfs up! If you didn't get a wave this morning you weren't trying.

Man, it was draining where I was. Reliving the teenage years of my youth. OK, enough clues to where I was. I had a 1km stretch of beach to myself. Banks a bit straight, but occasionally they'd line up.

Scarborough pumping, new board magic, crowd minimal...... Good day now for beer n footy, then hope to do it all again tomoro. Dr's orders or not cant resist

... Cott, tea rooms ...

Where are there any tea rooms at Cott? You have funny names for things. Cott was as good as flat this morning when I drove past. It seems it's another year of no good banks there.

hahah I mean Tea House :p You know, that massive building at Cott on the beach is called the "Indiana Tea House" so that's what I call the spot. So people know exactly where I mean along the beach As for funny names, well they make sense to me. Tea Rooms, the Dingo (everyone should know what that means) and Secrets...secrets is pretty obvious too

Yeah I went there to have a beer after my morning surf at Secrets. Pulled into the carpark around 1.30 and saw 2 nice glassy waves roll in so figured "stuff it, going back in"

Was a bit cold though...in boardies

Had the problem with dolphins last time I surfed at Bremer Bay

holidays!!!! drove to my local at 8.30, had full leave pass despite a weekend of surf. Saw lines immediately from the elevated position as you head down the track, once on the beach I noticed a distinct lack of humanity, not one person on the beach for the best part of 2k's. Every spot was working but chose my old favourite (hollow, reefy left). I was out for ten minutes when a Prado showed up, didn't recognise it or the 2 occupants, one guy got out straight away and paddled out. The hackles went up a bit but he said g'day and asked a few questions about the wave and revealed how he heard about it. This guy wasn't local but knew the wave sharing policy of the spot and stuck to it, mate came out and was just as cool about it. Had an awesome session, it just goes to show you that the spirit of surfing still exists and that most crew(especially the older members!) know how to do the righty. I know it's not always the case so I thought I'd share a positive with you.

Yep also had a nice bank to myself for a few hours mid saturday morning close to home. I also wondered where the crew was but i no complain.

Seems like we all surfed with no-one out!! It wasnt even that cold imo!!

Even surfed one spot with four people out then they left it to us, very nice of them

Maybe the thought of the monster swimming around at the moment has put a few off. Shame that

Didnt even cross my mind, maybe thats it mate!! Oh well, more waves for me

Jeeeezus how big was that noah, even at secretnorthern reef spot with carpark and toilet only had to share with 5 blokes of which two could surf. 3 hours either side of tide before the next shift arrived. Cold feet angry wife cryin kids(gotta love em, but she is good for the leave pass) time to get out. Hope to do it again tomoro before the nor wester......jetski mate and a northern reef, hope that big grey n white bastard stays south!

Hey Doggie, it's freezin and everyones running around in boardies, WTF!.. breed'em tough down south or what

You workin down there?

Had a quick sesh at the cott tea rooms.
Was the only one out. Looked like crap from the carpark but thought I'd give it a god. A few nice rides on the odd waist-shoulder height lump. Still had fun.

Some guys on the beach yelled at me to paddle in because they saw a shark. Not surprising after all the recent sighting. Judging by their description I'd say it was NOT a dolphin.

Well I thought that at first......

Yeah who knows. I have seen a White Pointer in along the groyne before, in person when we surfed in the evening. The beach was closed the next day and there was a positive ID on it

Ohwell...sharks don't worry me. Seen plenty, never been bitten.
