Morning Guy's,
Going to head out to Alkimos Reef for a session/ recon around lunchtimish if anyone is keen?
Gaz

Na misses was crook, so stayed home and clock up brownie points.
Will head out today I think.

I've tried it a couple of times always seems very choppy and not that good for some reason.

Really, yeah only surfed it a few times years ago and it was ok.
I'm now living up this way so just looking for spots.
If we get some good wind and swell I still might check it out.

Hey Gazuki,

I live close by and I hate it but I usually drive to Mulla's or go to Trigg for Downwinders. Maybe one day I can join you that way if you get eaten by a shark someone will know.

Cool, cheers Guy's, I'll check it out.

Yeah cool, I'll be back from work in two weeks.

where do you guys launch from to hit alkimos?
Anyone keen this sat or sunday? bit of a swell bump...

The reef is super shallow and full of caves and holes.
The left is good but can close out on almost dry reef toward the end, you need to pull off early do not be tempted to get that last turn.
The right can work on a big swell and runs into deeper water so is probably the safer bet .
Its a long way offshore and one of the sharkier spots. Check all of your gear before riding and ride conservatively its not the best place to have to swim in from.

Hey Guys thinking about kiting the reef this Sunday if anyone is keen? Probably launch at 10 from the cafe.

Can't this weekend :(

If only there was enough wind

I really wanted to kite that alkimos wreck once..2yrs ago i think...then i watched a doco on it being haunted made by some french (?) Swimmer...herbert...someone ? Then when i was near there ..two rocks somewhere..a hose went on my 4wd...ended up having diesel in the radiator somehow and loosing 4500ish dollars.....
Then..
I ended up having a fling with a local columbian lady...
Then... two weeks later i found out she had had a car crash with her son in the car and passed on ..v sadly..remembered her well..and first funeral i went to for decades..
Needless to say i never got to kite around alkimos
I wish u luck and love to hear the positive stories
