Count me in
Sorry I dont have a boat

Im just keen to get into some empty green
I have a spot in mind and will save it for one of our trips
Always empty during the week.
Pm for details

Swell's done. Here I am.
Bottom line is Outer Reef Surfers have to jointly own thier own club boat.
Already it doesn't look like any boat owner or even a surfer / boat owner is going to want to taxi surfers out to off shore reefs - fuel costs paid for or not. Understandably.
I got some prices on boats. An Aluminium tinny with 10hp out board costs about $4,000.
Divide that between 8 members = $500 each.
Or any ideas " fund raising events " as per gigs, quiz nights, surf comps, bank robberies, drug deals etc. ...
I went up to Lancelin yesterday and on the way back South I did a bit of exploring
driving down some tracks.
I saw some really good spots but only accesable by boat.
If the club doesn't happen,I have a small dinghy with a 2.5 outboard
that can get a bit of the way off shore safely and I paddle the rest. Mostly I use it only for Hole in the Wall at Lancelin where there is safe flat sheltered water to anchor in, inside the reef
but it can only fit two at the most.
If anyone would like to accompany me next time the swell's right , you're welcome.

Hey toes why dont ya go out and treat yourself to a real boat instead of putting around in a tender, your asking for trouble in tinny like that!

Hi Sammo76.
If only I could afford it. I only use my dinghy to get me most the way out to Hole in the wall. It's quite safe. Flat , shallow water most the way. I anchor well inside the reef and paddle the rest.
