Maybe. Perfect conditions for one, right? Fast beachbreak, crowded, headhigh. I'll have to make sure the low-loader is fuelled up to take it down there.

i had you pegged as more of a goat boater , legion , SUP is a bit johnny come lately......
on another amusing note i love the fact that the epoxy boards i own don't depress very much (i also give them an absolute flogging kitesurfing ) but sometimes that plays against you when they hit you .....i got lip launched in the last EC swell and landed on my board from a reasonable height hard enough to deck crease(effectively snap) my epoxy with my fingertips(ouch.... still not functioning properly) while trying to avoid it ..exactly the same break and maneouvre i managed to break an identical epoxy a couple of years back although that time i went over standing on it and felt it buckle up between my feet..breaking boards is an (expensive) bitch !!

Goat boat, SUP - I'm a Waterman™, I can ride anything.

This morning was JOY! Three hours with 3-4 crew in the water and shacked every single wave. Only made two but had lots of tunnel vision.

Deadset Doggie, some of the best waves I've ever surfed in Perth. A mate got rolled on one and copped a rail to the scone, wrapped up in a blanky on the couch with concussion now. Really, really punchy.

Oh and you're welcome

I just had a look at the cams, I think that was a bad idea

Squeezed in a quick 3 hours this arvo at Perth's favourite beachbreak. Who would've thought that after a week or two of storms, the banks would turn back to straighthanders? Still, there were a few if you were in the right place, right time. As it got later, people left and a strange thing happened - a magical little bank appeared right under our noses. It was me and two early-20s rippers sharing waves and it got better and better. Wind dropped off too.

So here's my funny story for the day - a couple of boogers paddled out on dusk. At one stage the two boarders near me drifted away a bit and there was me deepest, a booger further out and between me and the boarders, and the two boarders maybe 15-20m further down the line. A set came, and I had to paddle maybe 5m diagonally out to position myself. Booger scrambled for the horizon, then wheeled around, then paddled for his life, and called me off! I was flustered enough to shout WTF as his plan worked and I didn't go for it. He pulled out of the critical section anyway for some unknown reason and when he paddled out I had words with him. He said "I was on it first", which was technically true since he was out on the horizon and then paddling like mad whereas I was just in the critical position and didn't have to paddle much at all. Anyway, I'm no stand up comedian so I said something stupid back and ended up looking like a dick. At least he paddled away after that. If I'd caught the wave I would've been maybe 3m deeper than him. Technically he was on it first, but shoulder hopping. Before the boogers paddled out it was nice and relaxed, me and the other two guys taking turns and sharing. I wouldn't even think to paddle for a wave when they were deeper than me, and vice versa judging by how they behaved. A good vibe.

So anyway, a stupid situation like that can mess up my session. I'd got a few good waves, few nice turns and a couple of unco crouch down coverups (bit hard to squeeze 6'2" into 1' barrels). But you had to luck into the right one.

And then, on what was going to be my last wave, as it was getting dark, it looked like many other sets but as I stood up and went to pump down the line it all just lined up and I got a full 3s no-crouch standup barrel. That's pretty rare in Perth for me and reminds me why I love beachbreaks. Enough of a barrel for a young bloke to compliment me on my way in. Stoked. Reversed the bad mood from the confrontation.

Now to toss up - early or late tomorrow?

Sounds like a nice one Legion, good to hear someones getting some waves.

Nice to hear the session ended on a high Legion.

What ever the situation, if you call the wave you better bloody well get it! Bloody boogers.

Ohhh boo farkin hoo Thommo! You poooooor bugger!

Lol, I'll be down your way soon Mick...bringing me sup, mal, boogie boards, and whatever other ammo i can lay my hands on...so lookout!!

Legion said...

Well, he caught it, then something happened where he pulled off through the lip right at the first hollow section and at the same time one of the shortboarders had dropped in on him (as you do in Perth) and pulled off even though he could've stayed on. The booger said he should've stayed on. The two shortboarders both groaned as they realised too late that the wave went on unridden. Why the booger pulled out I do not know.

As to me, I'm still ambivalent. Technically he was right, but it's just not something I would do, paddle out and within 5min shoulder hop an established pack. Obviously a booger with big balls. I mean, watching from the beach the two boogers would've seen that the two others and I knew what we were doing and had our order worked out. Takes a confident person to come out and flex their lineup muscle off the bat like that. Enough to fluster me. Good on him if he's that confident. I'm surprised he didn't think he'd done anything wrong, but then why did he paddle off after the crazy guy confronted him?

Now I understand, sounds like he wussed out!

This morning was good again, bigger than yesterday with a crowd to match.

The banks are starting to straighten again but there are still some really good waves on the sets if you are in the right spot.

Just got back from a brilliant morning sesh. Big wait between waves but got a shoulder height tube ride that has left me with big hopes for the rest of the day. Off to uni and then to get boozie with this cute blonde bird

A Pure Blonde Suba....sorry it had to be said!

Best winter I can remember in a while, whoever runs the show upstairs is sticking it up the haters claiming the weather has changed forever and that we would never get a "winter like we used to"

Agreed, I havnt seen storms like these for a while.

Hey suba, Im on for a sure thing tonight. Are you

The swell was 2.5m at 6:30 and down to 1.9m now and still dropping and the off shore is picking up. I think you had to be in before 7 to have had the best of it today.

Seeing as though my suspicion is:

- Suba and Doggie are the same person; or
- Suba and Doggie are in love; or
- maybe both,

I am sure it is a sure thing tonight for both of you ....
