winds looking more E/NE to me??

I learnt up at lake tuggrah. bout 45min from my place in hornsby. shallow flat water. Great in a NE/SE in summer. ok in the winter westerlys too.

I had 4 or 5 days up there and was able to kite in the ocean and deal with waves ok now.

http://www.naish-tahiti.com/photos&video.htm think some of these are chopes? some guys have kited at pipe too. Problem is many countries regard kite surfers as small boats I think and here in oz we have to stay 30m away from anyone in the water or surfing. dont think the locals would be to pleased ...

if you dont mind doing alot of driving then u will find waves. otherwise within 5min of wollongong its normally shit

thanks DL it now.

thanks for the advice guys.

im 68kg and about 180cm tall. current board is a a 6'3 thats 18 1/4 wide and 2 1/4 thick I have only been surfing a year or so but im doing quite well. my problem is in smaller fatter waves 1-3' I just can not get any speed. I have to almost nose ride my board just to stand up and then its a matter ...

yes what were they?
i cant think what kind of injury would occur as a result of wearing a helmet?

i brought one off ebay for like $60. only ever wear it when its 5'+ or im surfing alone at a couple of places.

looks like 3 different clips put together.

what do you guys use tyo tie your boards down onto your roof racks?

I have seen some nice fcs staps, but cant find them in the 2 or 3 stores i looked in yesterday.

anyone have a rough idea on price too?

looks like it will be big but offshore? doesnt look like it to me. with a 9-10sec period forcast and strong southlys there wont be to many spots surfable.

checked alot of spots around ulludulla this morn. pretty average. maybe 1 or 2 places i would have got in if i was desperate + had a friend.

took my goPro cam out for the first time the other day. found it very annoying to paddle with.

paddling out I never bail no matter how worked im getting. bailing and then trying to bloody reel your board in and turn it over in all the currents and whitewash around you takes ages sometimes and makes it loads harder to make it out back big closeout sets are another story though. I bail quite of...

best.surf.ever paddled out at 6:45. was kinda shitty till 7:30, sun came out winds droped light offshore 5' dam hollow and thick. got some screaming lefts and a couple of late drops that i impressed myself with. Just 3 or 4 of us out until 9:30. Some guys getting huge full stand up barrels off the r...

in my opinion its a public beach and therefor he has just as much right to it as anyone else. Sure he might have been a dick but you cant just go about punching people. Im sure a great example was set for your son and the younger surfers there who probably have enough testosterone anyway and dont ne...

if you have a nice camera you can get insurance for pretty cheap.

I paid $20 a month a few years ago to insure a UW video camera while i was diving on holidays. Well worth it.
