Stuck with flashbacks? Freaked by the red stuff?
Last night waves at our local beach lit up with a bioluminescent, psycodelic blue glow from the depths. I couldnt believe nobody else was down the beach watching.
Plenty of TVs in the background! Nature put on a great show so this morn I went out in the dark.
I enjoyed heading out as the paddle and the nose splitting the water was trippy enough. Once on a wave the spray off the fins and rail was just gob smackingly awesome.
Stoked
Maybe a night surf under the moon tonight?

5+ meters Jez. The water police guys that checked it out off Whale Beach said that one was around 6m and the other was 4.5.

hahahahaha... we had the same bloom here on the Goldie a few weeks back and I snuck out for a surf during work , the algae worked it's way through where I was surfing. I only dropped in twice and thought nothing of it. Went in had a quick beach shower got dressed back in the work gear and headed back to work , after about 5 mins I could smell this horrible stench....it was me I smelt like a fishes arsehole I had to bolt home for a hot shower and half a bottle of shampoo to get it out of my hair... definetly avoid swimming in it.
