WTF 7am, thats friggin hardcore dude. You should kite, an early session would be 11.30, sleep in till 10

yeah, point taken, but surfing in Perths locals are a b4 work event,(weekends are mad) EVERY time I get to my local, even in the midst of winter when its dark at 7am, theres ALWAYS someone in before me. I just want to first, just once!!!
Dont have that problem windsurfing of course....3.30 on suits me...

You sound like the life of the party knotty

knotty, its the spring bit Im intrested in, I dont seem to function with out a cup of tea, minimum, and a bit of soul searching while I wander around the house, slowly winding up. How does one "spring".

Exactly Rellie, I love the feeling of doing half a days work before some people are out of bed. Sunsets are nice but sunrises are better. I actually get out of bed earlier on weekends, I suppose that's strange but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Arancini, I can't give you a magic formula for 'springing' out of bed, some people are either a morning person or night person. That can change over your lifetime, as a student I wouldn't think twice about sleeping past midday but that's in the days of drink cask wine and smoking stuff with mates until 3am. Now I am older and married to a beautiful girl so I am happy to go bed early

That thing about being a morning person or a night person is right. In some countries they actually organise job categories as either A or B type to suit A or B type people. I am a B type and when left to my own devices I find myself waking up later and later til I find I'm keeping rock n roll hours. Then every so often my body clock jumps to New Zealand time and I have to get up and go for a walk at dawn. Those days are the best, even though its not windy in the morning.

Ok, how the hell do you get out of bed early? Who jumps out of bed at 5am ready for it and keen for the day. Is it just me that habitually rolls over jaming a pillow over my head for another 5 minutes? Even when I know the swell is pumping and the winds dropped its still a struggle to get out before 7am HELP. Tips required.
