Hey Oliver,
Excuse my ignorance but where's Point Roadknight???
I'm relatively new to Melb!

The point should be ok tomorrow, today the waves were still rideable even 2 hours after low tide.
The tides are not very low at the moment but the sand was still ok inside the point today. It was about 4' with a bit of a southerly blowing, 2 mates put sails on their SUP's....lazy fellows.......they think they have invented something new.......I said I think its called sailboarding?
See ya out there

Just checked the swell at Torquay , the point will be on at midday .

Enjoy it Oliver & Dave

I just got home.. It was great day.

Thanks Dean, Phill, Cam and Bret for sharing your waves with me.. I had a great time.

Dean (LSD) was ripping like usual.. and a real stand out in my eye.. Every time I looked up he was on a beauty and always in the right spot.

It was great to catch up with an old windsurfing friend Dale.. and at times there were over 10 sup's out there and enough waves for everyone.

Can't wait till next time... Sorry to those who I dropped in on..

For those interested I did take a few pictures yesterday during our trip down to Pt Roadknight.

This was from the road above Pt Roadknight looking back towards Torquay.



This is looking down on Pt Roadknight.. I think it was a lull in waves.. I should have waited for a good set to roll through before taking the pic.



I went down with Oliver and we parked at the boat ramp.



This was looking out as we were leaving in the late arvo.. Jeez what a beautiful place.



Dean (LSD on this forum) invited us back to his place (just up the road) so I could have a look at the new flat water board that he'd just made himself.



I also checked out his boat.. that he had also made himself... Amazing.



He had a very cool dog.. A Rhodesian Ridgeback.



Getting dropped back at my car at St Kilda the sky was pink.. and the traffic was bad.

Thanks Dean for the invite and thanks Oliver for driving me down.

Hey Plainsailing i've got to agree ,I remember the last time i surfed pt'rknight .A really big swell was running it would be about 10 years ago, and i was on my way to Lorne when i stopped at the lookout that used to be open, and saw Bali type lines running thru the point and no one out. For the interstate guys or people who havn't surfed PRK.It's really surprising how far out that point really is.I surfed for the first hour with 2 guys on short boards b4 being joined by about another dozen guys on l'boards,that believe it or not,is what made the day so memorable. Rides of 500mtrs ,meant every one was spread out and getting all the rides you could possibly what. To use the current vibe lots of ALOHA. LOts of bull**it stories were told later that day at the Anglesea pub with guys who didn't believe that the point could have such quality waves. When ever i have said one of my more memorable surf days was at pt r' knight , most guys just raise an eyebrow, or plain bust out laughing.But he who laughs last laughs longest Having seen another of DJ's super surf docos, I'm really looking forward to getting back on that side of the pond,and trying sup there .I have already promised OG Phill i would catch up when i do. LOL

DJ Once again a great lot of pics.
Once again I ask how come you never have to go to work like
all us suckers... GRRRR!!!
Its a beautiful place, just hope it stays that way.
I,ve been surfing down there for many years and now
with the surge in SUP popularity its great to see
the waves getting used....A lot have gone to waste
or only used by longboarders (guilty lol). In big swells.
Paul.

Yep

SHHH.....
only joking.

I prefer the mirror image also,kind of gave into the dark side(commonly called going right) many years agoOnce a year i see the light at the BAR m'bula ah,yes you only have to share with 50-60 of your closest friends
