Is this so you can rub it in??
I typically only ever surf / SUP midweek as I hate crowds and am lucky that I work from home most of the time. I normally frequent either Manly or Dee Why. Sometimes at Manly you will find up to about 10 SUPS out but normally at the Queensie end where I live maybe 1 or 2 others. And at the Bower there is often only one or two others out max. Dee Why Point is normally being dominated by Goatman. I see him out there often - pretty much all the time! There is also a couple of others who frequent it through the day. Down towards the Pole its normally just me midweek - although there will often be others further down at Longie.
In terms of getting waves etc I never have any problems......the mid week crews are happy to share and as long as you do not take more than yr fair share, do not get in their way and call them into waves I never have any dramas. Weekends are a whole different affair though. Numbers seem to be growing exponentially at the minute. Like you though I will soon find myself in greener pastures - can not wait - 3 weeks to go!!!!

Yep - its all action stations here - presently packing up the house - we leave in 3 weeks.
