Interesting sign down at Flinders (Big Left) yesterday..

I walked right past it without noticing it until later when I looked at my pictures.. Sorry no action shots.. Oliver, Jonathan, Rosecoe and a few other SUP's were out and there were some good sized sets coming through.

It was a great day.. I was glad I had my big Mana because it was pretty lumpy out the back.. I was pretty buggered after a few hours and feeling old age creeping up on me after taking a few big ones on the head.

Good job DJ:

4 Naish pimps
2 Kialoa pimps

Oops that's right it was about some bubbles-so where's the legible photo of the relevant sign?

Oh and Quicksilver!
Yay! you gotta luv QS.

Loco, you might have missed the Roar plug via the cap, Quiksilver Wetsuits, and Gath Helmets, and a general scenic plug on behalf of Tourism Victoria.

What else do you want to know?


Very nice fun waves on the Torquay Reefs this mornings. I think that was Dean at Bells while I opted for Lowers.

And Rola Roof Racks

The Bubbles; so does it relate to not popping the seaweed bubbles ?

So I guess some of us have nuthin much to do...LOL.

Oh yeah what is the sign actually about?

That's what I'd like to know.. I only noticed it in my pics.. Next time I'll read the sign and I'll let you know.

Last night I was looking at those pics of Jacko on the Javelin and it got me thinking about how much I miss paddling mine.. It's been weeks and weeks of cold wet and windy weather here in Melbourne.

This morning I woke up to perfect Jav weather..

I had forgotten just how good it looks.. and paddles in these conditions.





I chose to use that new cheap Kialoa paddle.. Jeez I like the size and it seems about half way between the Methane and the Shaka Pu'u.

I hope when they do their new race paddle it's this size.





The water in Melbourne is the clearest that I've ever seen it.



There was this nice South African girl at St Kilda Pier that I spent some time talking to.

Mana Weights;
It is possible that Bamboo is heavier, slightly, but maybe also stronger, assuming the old Mana was just fibreglass layers and epoxy. I am not sure of the construction methods and layering of either though.

I think the bursting bubbles thing must be about kelp bubbles rather than other seaweed bubbles ??? Maybe some rare snail is blowing bubbles in the sand dunes. :)

Mana - you would expect the bamboo layer to replace an old layer, and more resilient, but I don't know!
