The Southport seaway bombie was epic yesterday afternoon , so we loaded the boat and hit it at first light this morning, when we got to the Seaway in the dark the whole entrance was closing out , we waited 10mins for a bit of light and picked our way out 800m to the back of the break..

It was huge but to our disappointment it had severe morning sickness , breaking all over the shop coming through fat and then pitching sucky take offs , which made it very hard for me on the 9-1 (9-10 still getting fixed).

Rosco was the first to go and got engulfed , then I went only to get the lip in the back of the head on the way down (EPIC OVER THE FALLS) then Simo finally cracked big right hander and made it all the way through.We were hooting , then Rosco went again and didn't make around the section with the thick lip landing right on him snapping his 10-0 C4 in half so he made his way back to the boat with the deck grip holding the board together.

1 picked off another one and the 9-1 started sliding when I tried the bottom turn I still made it around the section just had to back off on the back foot (needs bigger fins).I caught one more after that and rode it in too far in and got another great flogging , after 15mins Simo got worried and started looking for me but he got caught inside as well and joined me in the Huey Spa bath , we both eventaully made it back to boat and called it a day.

We were back in by 7.30m and off to work.

nice work piros

looks a bit cleaner than down this way as its huge but messy

nice work getting out the bar in the boat

dogman

Yeah Dogman the bar was hell a mate who fuels the trawlers said a 90 ton trawler got air going out yesterday and completely buried it coming in this morning. He must be stocking up for Easter to risk that.

Buddina the snap is very clean and repairable , how much was your repair ?

Hey Rob

Alex did a great job and it rides as well as it ever has. The repair was $300.

The fix a lot of competition boards for SLSC and do a fantastic job. I haven't noticed and weight change or perfomance change.
Cheers

I'll pass the info onto Rosco thanks

Great pics & story. Enjoyed it. Well Done.

The sad part was Ross never really got his feet settled on that board after many surfs , a bit like me and my PSH 9-2 so I told to sell it and get another board which he was going to do.....well sh!t happens.

Here is a couple more shots of the session. the pics are'nt great beacuse of the low light and boat movement but it gives a good feel of the morning.Most of the Gold Coast was the same this morning with the N.E'ers starting to move in but we still have have big swell pulsing all week so no doubt there is many good hidings to come

This is as shot of the paddle in

This is a shot driving the out through the swell

I went over the falls on this one I'm in there somewhere

Is this a good idea



Rob

Nothing better than heading out in the boat and then seeing a few explode on the reef as you think to yourself ''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ****...it didn't look that big 1 mile ago"
