Had a few tiny waves at woopi main beach this morning.

one in particular was a long left hand peeler that had me up the snotty end for a good 15 or so meters, it gave me a real sense of nostalgia because it took me back to 1966 when I learnt to surf on this very same beach and I can still remember waves just like it.

I could not get the grin off my mug all the way back out, so much so that a really lovely lady by the name of Cindy struck up a conversation, so we shared a wave or two as well as some old memories, before she had to shoot off to work.

by the looks of things, it's doubtful that I'll be going back in again today, so I'm thankful for the little surf I had.

I surfed some one foot weak as p155 beachies with a few random holiday makers, kids and an older fella learning to surf. Got 10 waves on the 10 footer and gave up. Nice day for a paddle though - shame we have no swell.

watigos in the morning with the crew, not great, but it was good to tick a couple more boxes as far as the breezers are concerned. It's a pity we were not somewhere a little less crowded. I would have liked to have a go on that board boofy had. i don't trust myself not to ding it if it's a Bit crowded.

managed to get back to woopi in time to spend an hour or so in main beach, no waves to speak of. Just a bit of paddling practice. Maybe Lance and I can score a few tomorrow morning before I set off back home

Went in with sir Lance a lot this morning at his secret little bank, just me and him a a goat boat. Then the devil wind kicked in and it was all over for the day.

Looks like a good day for driving back home.

Ok safe to say now but the weekend was epic...Saturday the best day this year with all elements swell direction, tide, wind & crowd damn near perfect. I had one double overhead freak wave I thought was going to land on my head. I paddled my guts out for the horizozn, got to it & was just able to take off late. Swell direction had it peeling all the way over past the next reef & finished past the next take off area. Nice waves behind it too, coz I got drilled by them all on the shallow reef

Another crap day here. I am over all of the crap surf we have been getting of late. Its just not fair. Oct / Nov is always terrible in this part of the world but normally we get something - not the crap (yes 3 times I have used that word) we have been getting. I can count on one hand the number of decent surfs I have had of late. And that was over a two day period. Lets hope you boys are getting something more worthy. I am praying that our friends in Victoria can serve me something up decent later in the week. Its my only hope. Paddle fitness has been lost. Might have to start swimming at the current rate.

Super hard paddle out. Super bionic fun waves when the sets came through. Four complete smokers on the new single and it loved the big open faces. Was concerned with the wide tail,but fin choice and position seem pretty good and the channels just gave it more drive and speed yeeeeeoooooooooow. Fark they were nice waves,good to get a bit of punch in them.for a change

Just read the surf report,fools and thank you.

Turned up to check the waves after dropping the kids off at school. The wind had already swung onshore but checking it while having a chat to one of the local shapers I was ready to not bother.
Just as the shaper got to the waters edge with his board a nice solid set came through with some smokin' lefts right away from the pack just South of it.
He made a beeline straight out there and it had changed my mind as well.
We had a bunch of onshore but punchy set waves all to ourselves before a couple of other peeps paddled over.
First surf in almost a month due to an ear infection and a lack of motivation due to crowds and poor conditions.
But in this one surf I'm frothing like a grommet again.
bloody surfing...what an addiction.

Fun waves yesterday, then a thousand people turned up and i went home. Wish I had the longboard so I could have just been a pig and used the tourists as downhill flags

Lumpy but fun waves this morning,a bit more size. Sacrificed a really nice bank for a average one that was empty.
