Nice pic Skeghead .

Funny Bill and Dale were down south this weekend and we have had the best w/e surf in months .

Surfed Preso Bay Friday , Stanley Saturday , Crayfish Creek Sunday and Monday . Fun weekend .

Do you have any idea how much you are shltting me right now ?
I'd have given anything for a NW sesh over the weekend instead of driving down that boring bloody hwy.

Next sunday it had better be pumping at Presso '

pretty similar this week .

I see Scamander surf rating today is 1 , looking out the window Burnie would rate a 0 ( bigger surf in the bath tub this morning )

so pretty similar waves at Scamander and Burnie today

love the look of those paddles 2MT , do you handmake those

PRESENTATION AND DINNER SAT NIGHT

I have contacted Surfside, Beaumaurice.

They are OK but advise that bookings are recommended.

It is on Sat evening and there will be a few other diners about.

I will be making a bulk booking so if you want me to include
your party then please advise me on:-

[email protected]

You can of course make your own bookings direct, but I
would like to get an indication of the numbers in advance
if at all possible.

Cheers

It's like herding cats.

But not to worry

The most important aspect of the
contest is the weather .. and already
our in-house weather Guru .. Tassie Devil
has put his reputation on the line and
predicted 0-4ft .. which is ideal for most of us.

Tassie Devil ? .. what wind strength and
direction to you forsee .. on the day .. please.

Bugger was hoping you blokes from down south were all big wave chargers and the small forecast would scare you off .

My predictions for the weekend are (1) Friday night the hawks will kick the eagles butts
(2) Saturday I will have lots of spare time after being knocked out in the 1st heat

Latest prediction from magic seaweed is a 1 star 1-2 foot swell with a gentle offshore breeze

.could be worse

Sorry to disappoint tassie, but no one will get knocked out after their first heat, everyone will have to surf 2 rounds before they can be eliminated

That's the way TassieSUP

Make 'em suffer.

But the fact that there's not a big
swell predicted means that the big
wave chargers .. with whom we have
been negotiating .. won't be tempted
to go elsewhere .. so we might get
Kyron .. Danny ..Tyler .. etc. .. they'll
have little else to do .. mow the
lawns .. tune up the jet ski .. etc.

It's looking good
