And it's raining

Really giving me the s$#$s.

I can handle no swell but northerlies just takes all the fun out of surfing.


What to do I'm thinking a longer board to paddle in flat water. Downwinders don't really excite so I'm thinking of something 12'6 or 14. Puch into the wind for a while then turn araound and come back.

Any ideas/suggestions/tips

In the flat water? Or ocean?

This is good weather to come and try a few different race boards out!!

Definately needs to able to go in the surf. I'm a fat old bugger so needs to be really stable as well.

I starting to research some boards now.

What northerlies ? nice fresh s/w this morning early and same predicted 2moro morning. Heard the same thing on the radio on the way home this morning - andy mac saying strong onshore winds from the outset today - I think its just a ploy to keep the points empty for those willing to get up early and get down there.
