Awesome waves again here in Sydney, 4-6 meters on 10 sec period dead south swell. Been pumping for weeks now. I hit my local at dawn and only a handful out, in fact the 'proper' take off had only one other bloke.

First wave I heard a 'clunk' - thought I had ran over something and then thought nothing of it. About 3/4 way through the session I flipped the board over and low and behold no outside fin!! Had been surfing the whole time in some of the most horrendous waves I've had on a SUp with 2 fins!! Fortunately it was the outside fin so could still bottom turn - it actually felt alright off the top as well - bizarre!. Surfed the Laguna today as well as I didn't want to break DTMs lovely little 8'8".

Here's a pic of this morning's line up:

Like a single fin off the top !! I was addicted to single fins a while ago. They are beautiful and fast off the top, shooting down the line.

Yeah agree there John-S Palmy was absolutely going off this morning-double overhead on the bombs and smooth and clean 150m+ rights sucking wildly through the inside section-also, heads up that Newport Pool looked really nice on the drive by to work.

Pumping again today in Sydney - thats about 25 days in a row!!

It's supposed to be a 'lull' day before the next 3meter + swell hits tomorrow and right through the weekend.

Had my local barrelling it's head off this morning

Yep-had a great time out Newport Reef again today-some mackers off the front of Cross-Waves.

It's the reprieve after the flatness of April (although the weather and water temp were great then).

Bring on the next swell!
