Some big Mo Fo waves today on the Goldie, Dont you love it when the straight media portray it as a surfers delight when reality is only a handful out of thousands hit the water, no where to go but Tow. This mad Staffie was buzzing about the rocks, must of belonged to one of the tow guys and was trying to jump into the water, it got serious when he ended up just inside the jumpoff rock and me and a couple of guys had to yell at it to come back, the mongrel wouldnt listen and after a few close calls finally made a hasty retreat to the creekside where it even got more interesting, started swimming across kiddies corner as the surge made a shallow spot then just got back on the sand as it started to suck out. I let one of the lifeguards know and he tried to chase the thing and not sure what happened next as had to go but the thing might of paddled across the creek at the walls LoL Death or Glory Laceys here I come LoL

Straight of topic but i had a Staffie x red heeler and the stupid thing would swim out through the surf and you'd have to keep taking him back in. Scratched the crap out of me and my board. Nice shots.

Luckily it was blowing so hard the board blew back over the top and i was able to get o it before a set came , tied a knot in it and good to go. Here is a couple of pics from today I took. Some monsters where coming in , biggest ive seen on he Goldy.

Flat water is that what its forIts more fun in the surf Ill tell you what though you can get some serious speed on these big boards. Construction must be good though , cause i have definately put it through its paces over the last month.
