Was glassy at 9:00am, but had a bad case of new swell wonk - was shifting all over the place... some set waves over head, but most only giving a very short and at times fat wall to work with. Wind started to gently come in about 9:45am and it was all but over by 11:00am ~ 6.5/10
Had some fins in the water - but thankfully some dolphins snaking us on the inside...
Struggled a bit with the new epoxy board - paddles fantastic, and catches nearly everything you point it at, and it is FAST, but it seems very skatey/twitchy... stuffed a few moves I would have normally made, board just went out from under me or skipped as it hit a chop...
I also saw a 7'3" on line in Beldon? Is that yours?
Yep Quad - both my old Poly V1 and the new Epoxy V2... they fly on a good wave!
No - I'm in Kingsley.
It takes me at least a good 4-5 surfs to click with a board... so not too worried just yet - a bit frustrated though as I haven't got to the point where I forget about the board...

Anything happening at the local yet? Mine last week was epic but with loads of weed allready[}:)]
^^^ Nope - but Port Denison beaches were FULL of weed over Easter - 5.2m swell on the day before Good Friday... it was sitting over a meter high on the shoreline - for 2-3m wide and then a 20m weed soup into the water... even out the back it was full of small bits - Blech!
Looked alright this morning except work kept me without a board and a business proposal resulted in my ego and self esteem getting a battering like the size of 4m dumpers down at trigg on a stormy day.
Least to say, praying for good waves to let loose and may God watch out for those who drop in on me or whom I drop in on.
Right on GPA, had a surprisingly alright session. Even managed a mini close out barrel. Had a beginner constantly sitting in front of me and getting in my way. One turn and I'd stack it almost hitting him. Let it go cos I remember just last year that was me
What a difference a day makes; as it was close-out city with a side serve of back-wash early this morning... was just rubbish until the tide filled in about 10:00am... got OK until the SW'er started lumping it up around 11:00am...

Pretty much the same up north! Few good rides but pretty sloppy and lots of close outs
This morning was surprisingly uncrowded and started out okay but by 8ish the waves had lost all power and will to live
Well by 8:45 when I got there it was starting to get crowded... waves were very ordinary... swell dropped massively from yesterday, and dropped further by 10:00am so grabbed the mal and had a few fun rights as the wind gently came in (and improved the waves up until it got to about 8knt or so).
pulled my calf so bad Im still recovering.
