Keen as to upload more ... just flat out catching up with work at the moment.
Unfortunately, my waterproof camera became "unwaterproof" halfway through the trip, so resorted to mobile phone piccies and minimal water ones .. spewing .. skull cam works great, just can't share!
Yes, got some waves, but it was freaky. A really shallow coral reef full of sea urchins, so fully bootied up & wetsuit.
The waves were powerful, and when they got hold of the SUP, being dragged backwards by your legrope at high speed over a reef was .. well .. exciting?!
Where I was surfing it had no good surf on the shoulder area, so I went inside a bit - pretty hair raising stuff ... 80km's out to sea, a dodgy support boat and because the wave curled around this tiny island, there was no "safety" of being washed up on land if it went pear shaped. Sure keeps you on edge!
Took many photos with you guys in mind the whole time, so will get a yarn & piccies asap...
Same spot a couple of the boys got chased to the Island while surfin out there. They had to wait a while and then paddle the 1 km odd back to their boat to get home. Would be a fun paddle I imagine.
even in the captains log book he noted powerful cylindrical waves breaking across the reef.
