Well there wasnt a lot to choose from today so after a few recces we went to secret spot number 16.

When we paddled out at dead low it was sketchy to say the least,Kristi did extremely well in the conditions. The reef was ridiculously shallow (ankle depth in places), so shallow that Kristi ground down her FG5s to FG 4.5s lol. Next wave Kristi ripped the center fin out of the FCS finbox adaptor. No serious damage done thank goodness, by the way the FCS center fin floated that how we found it.

The intrepid Crew!


Kristi Just before she hit the reef and ripped the center fin out.


Rich on his best wave of the day.


This bottom turn sucked dry seconds later.[}:)]


This unknow paddler got the wave of the day


Mr Chompy ( a big Thresher) was jumping up to 4 feet out of the water in the back ground and eventually convinced us to leave the water PMSL

Awesome fun

No Idea who he was DJ,

Nesha took 4 or 5 cracking pics of him, really mind lowing shots in full res!

Just to get on the wave with 25 - 30kn offshore was an epic task. You had to sit alomost on the rocks and get down the line microseconds after take off or you would have two 4'8s lol.

Hey Paul,

No it was a very big thresher shark!

Camo with Balls of Steel still went out when he got there laughs.

If you every wanted to know how stable and how agile the 9'6WAA and Ripper are well they proved their worth and then some today!

Just trying to stand up was a chore and paddling onto waves was at times almost impossible.

If you didnt get your A$$ down the line straight away you got your lunch in Hawaiian " BIG SAND".

Yep, Looks good as well Now if i could ride a ripper i would love one but at my stage i think it might be like pulling finger nails out.
