Small Bells with only 3 out hmmmm am I dreaming lol!

The speed of the wave at Bells is awesome! The water was so clean you could see the reef clearly as it raced by, reminding you not to fall!

This was the 1st time we let Nikita (8) take some photos for us and she did an excellent job. Thanks Niki.

The water depth was about shin to thigh high and the rocks were very close due to the small wave size.

Even at this size you could get your A$$ handed to you no problem at all laughs, oh and we did trust me!

Makes me wonder what it must be like at 10 ft!

Oi,

Sessions 9'6 ripper had a handle already in it, but you can get an aftermarket one by PMing AA I think they are about $40

Camo,

Your welcome to take the 9'6 for a spin anytime, you know that.

DJ,

Revvin got an invite and didnt have enough brownie points, he is not happy lol!

Kristi, Rich and I actually had the whole break to ourselves at one point, it doesnt get and better than that. Kristi is still stoked.

Regards

Phill

Sounds like you need some oinkment!


Rich/Phill,

Looked like a good day. After seeing the swell obs I thought you guys might miss out on getting waves. But the trusty magnet provided some fun ones!

Great looking photos, and pretty damn rare to get Bells at any size (even tiny) with no one out!

Do all newer PSH boards have a handle in them as standard? Cos I checked out the range at SHQ and not one PSH there had a handle in it

Willmmcc1,

All of the new PSH boards have handles!

But the lack of handle does not effect the way they rip

Actualy willmcc1, Bells has had about 2 weeks of similar waves, its becoming more common with our small swell winters in recent years.

Friday last week

I must get it at the wrong times hehehe. I've got bad memories of surfing small onshore slop with about 15 guys on more than one occasion...

Hello All,

Sorry for the lack of invite's people , it was a last minute call that paid off on a flat day next time for sure .

Great to see Kristi surf Bells for the first time with only us out !!!....

Was surreal how clean it actually was the photo's just don't do it justice , going down the line on these little glassy uncrowded waves was just what i needed after a hectic week.

Nikita you take much better photo's than your Dad!, your turn to surf Bells next time.

Was wondering who would pick up on that ....was going to say 'beat it', but truth is my office hands got trashed last weekend and this was an attempt to stay in the water.
Not a good look hey-thanks lummers.

Hi Piros,

Niki does take better pics than I do lol.

They were taken from about 250m away on a Nikon with a 300mm prime.

But it was the photographer with the huge smile dancing up and down the rocks that made it special!

Niki says thanks to all for the lovely comments and you can book her through her agent pmsl.


Hi Casso,

There is GOPRO footage but I dont want to bore the natives!

Phill
