Jeez
Got sick and tired of all the "Isn't Vicco marvelous at this time of year" waffle thats been going on. No time after work for a surf these days and a solid schedule of kids sport on the weekends means a savage case of surf withdrawal. Like all good surf junkies I made some time for a fix on Friday and pigged out righteously. Grove Reef in the morning followed by an arvo session at home. Wind was offshore but barely there and the swell ranged between fun and solid. Board is an 8.7 custom 4D and the paddle is a Dean Snow special. Sponsored by no one and loving life!!

Lots of smooth drops and speed runs



Jamming on the brakes for the elusive keg
Plenty of off the bottom off the top action


Getting close, gotta drop that back knee

Minor backdoor

Anyway
Somewhat happier now

Couple more from the same day.
A few cutties


I like this last one cos its smack bang in the middle of the paddle transition on the inside rail cutback to foam bounce.

And yeah Simondo I know its not waffle. I have to look at it every morning on my way to work. Nothing worse!!

G'day Sparx,

I was watching you from the car park at the reef for awhile, even my 2 and 4 year old boys were giving you a few "yeeewww's!"

I couldnt watch for too long though as it was too frustrating not being out there.

Thanks for the kind words guys and yes it was soooper fun. So good to de stress and get some solid exercise, crawl into bed with aching muscles and a crap eatin grin. Still stoked and so lucky to have Wesso there to snap some pics. Spent a little time at work today furtively checking out my photo file. Talk about guilty pleasure.
Anyway here's a couple more from Friday courtesy of Wes Bowler.

A selection of smacks





Looks like more on the way too. Just got back from a walk along the Front Beach promenade with the wife and the surf was a super oily two to three foot. The back of Portsea was smoking!
Cheers
