Great quotes from Steve: These aren’t people being called on to solve differential calculus or perform brain surgery on kiddies but their livelihood does require being able to place themselves in a position to catch a wave. https://beachgrit.com/2021/04/rip-curl-narrabeen-classic-finals-day-analysis...

Spent Xmas once at Kho Samui and every morning had a body surf on a lovely little sandbank - everyone else was still in bed with hangovers. Was living/working in HK at the time so any wave was a godsend.

Smaller than yesterday with the SE wind on it but still OK.

Again on the NBs - crowds up but still a few good ones.

Bigger today on NB's but just not the same quality for me as earlier in the week.

NB's and more fun waves on the low tide

The other Steve's final words on today's Newy comp:

not really. Kissed by the Angels though.
Bells has been shit. it hasn't stopped raining and howling onshore at Lennox..
they done good.

Different view to buddy's from Steve (?) over on Swellnet:

"man, they would have been so skunked at Lennox.
hasn't been a surf day all waiting period so far. end to end onshore and chocolate brown floodwaters."

NB's at lunchtime and a few sneaky ones in there - good fun. Plus big enough to run the comp at Newcastle - Swellnet offers uninterrupted coverage.

So the family friend bookkeeper steals $1.5 million off Tyler Wright - you do wonder a bit who was looking at what was going on considering she is managed by Nick Fordham.

Interesting story on ownership of Tracks magazine plus Surfing World

Great little bank with no crowd plus warm water again.

Well 3 days in a row in filthy water (but some nice waves) and no ear infection yet.

Smaller than yesterday but cleaner and pretty light crowd where I was.

Manly after lunch, clean conditions but swell seemed to drop off pretty quickly.

Windblown mush in a southern corner

A couple of lazy clean waves before the high tide - water warmer than air temp.
