Hey Crash, had the same thing this morning with Hilly from WA.

Hilly is on his way back from Hawaii and has a day in Sydney so picked him up at 5.30am and we hit up DY point. Just me, him and a kneelo for about 40 minutes til a few crew hit it.

The big man can throw some buckets and doesn't mind bit of suck - taking off behind the ledge on a few. He had his new PSH 10 foot timber board he managed to prise off Austin - beautiful shooter!!

Nothing like an early surf on a beautiful day

Nah Matty, some of us have to got to work

Here's what ya missed mate, from this morning's Real Surf:

where was everyone else???!!!!

You will soon learn that Goatman has a severe case of insomnia. The early bird has nothing on him.

Past two days has seen fun mornings on the Goldie, although again, some have to work. First opportunity will be tomorrow morning for an early.

That wave looks a lot better than my close outs! This morning was meant to be pretty good at Manly. I of course slept in!
