Keen.

But be warned the paddle out to Seal Island is a long one. Done it a couple of times and the water police chat you about having a PFD.

Done the Alki from a boat much more civilised.

I've got a 7m boat so I wouldn't be paddling that far, but there are some other reefs along that stretch that have some potential, on a short board they're a bit fat but on a sup they'd be ideal.

I know some good set ups pm when you are going.

Checked out along the back of Garden island last year. Pretty gnarly apart from a few shorys at the south end. Five fathom bank may be worth a look when the tides low and the swells up. Just have to keep an eye out for the local great white.

Ive SUPed some of the bombies just to the north of the main 3mile break.. They can be really fun on about 2.5m swell or plus.. Plenty of size and you can park the boat pretty close too.. On 2.5 or plus there is so many bombies out there that are good im surprised not that many people surf them.. I spose its because like you said most are a bit fat for short board or bodyboard..

If im not working which i normally am (sunday only day off) i would love to give a few more a go..

God that sounds boring.... I'm just not interested.... its really turned me off wanting a boat.

WTF???

Bring on some Autumn swell and clean offshores

Whoops! Yeah, it does seem to be one reason why you might want to have a boat.... instead of 2 more SUBs, a complete new windsurfing rig, and possibly a trip to Indo every year. Choices, choices.

THe G, Iam in when I eventually move to Perth. The Five fathom sound interesting. on a windless winter swell!!!!
