I had a bit of fun today paddling that odd looking new 10'10" board from the 2012 Naish range.. It was a cold and crappy day here in Melbourne today but I did manage to find some protection from the freezing cold wind by paddling along the cliffs near Mentone.. Can't wait for Summer to return.

Nice board!! Im going surfing probably coul use the extra length for the predicted 4 metre swellls!! I hope there's a sheltered corner somewhere and that Sparx, OG or Simondo take some photos. (Hopefully not of me drowning)

I like the heavy channel concept. Should really help the learners to go straight!

Leroy,
There's a bank down at Torquay Sailing Club that gets some protection.

Expect a heavy sweep on most points today. But the sweep works in favour of your safety! It will just push you towards the beach... down the beach... Except at Winki on High Tide, it will push you towards The Cave !

Thanks Simondo, I ended up gutlessing out at PRK the swell nearly completely missed it because of the westerly in it. I might try Torquay sailing club tomorrow. Fishos had around twenty guys out before dawn and there were two guys catching mush burgers at Cosy Corner. Cathedral Rock was just amazing to watch. Super tubes was working but strangely no one was out Browny, Case and the other big wave boys might have been playing at Massacre bay. It was supposed to be ten metres down that way.
