Had an awesome downwinder in Port Moresby today. Paddled my usual route out and was catching waist high waves, inside the harbour!

Wind was insane, must have been gusting over 40 knots. Nasty, nasty weather for the search for that plane

You'll be right. Weathers eased off a bit this morning. Still blowing but nothing like yesterday. And the airstrip at Lihir is way way better than Kokoda which is just a bush track really.

Up to double over head, light off shores and perfect at some spots here in Sydney!!

I work a 100 meters from Manly beach which is doing a good impression of the '78 Coke contest today (6-8 foot perfect barrels) so may have to duck off at lunch methinks

Ha ha, just after I posted I went....texted AA and he and Jason were hitting it.

Went out Mid Steyne - mad paddle out - solid 5-6 foot swell size. Cracker of a surf with the 3 of us and another SUP dude on a peak to ourselves almost...hooting each other in to some big walling mothers

I surfed the morning of that contest (78' Coke)-there was me and one other bloke (Brett Currotta) out on the lefts in front of N Steyne clubhouse-with Baddy Trelor on the megaphone (he as a beachie back then) hassling us to clear the water so the comp could start. They were the most amazing waves-etched in my memory....

Aw-I was only 14-but right into surfing by then (since 8) so stoked to have been out there-they were the days too-but we'll say that about SUP 15 years from now....
