Straddy and the spit, pre-1984.

Snapper to greeny 1996 by Murray White.

Love the old photos mm.

The trick to corrugated dirt is 80+ km/hr
Hopefully it’s a straight track.

Good tweed valley bud floating around I imagine.

On it’s day now (rare) the barrels can be arguably better for the advanced surfers, but it will never have that perfect hug the coast point break style again where it broke at a speed that most waves were makeable. Unless they stop pumping sand for many years. It sort of got reasonably close a few y...

BA - 60 going on 14.

Will it help with my stink-eye when I see someone else paddle out?

Sometimes you see some good ones at Kirra with no one around and paddle out and realise quickly you have no chance of holding position and gotta hope you get one quickly.

Apparently the sweep wasn’t too bad that sesh though.

You get little bits of sections that start working and if you’re onto it you can score.

Most of the crowd would have been on the cooly - spot x bank until word got out.

The roundhouse to finish was better than any turn he’s done on tour this year.

Can be tricky to be in the spot.
Sometimes it’s really consistent though and you conveyor belt back out again and again (not today).
It’s a little awkward to surf on the backhand I find.
But I got a few and also some good rights that forced me into a couple of runarounds.

Yeh, found a sneaky high tide bank.
One guy out.
He came in just before I paddled out.
Got 30-40 minutes before the tide dropped a bit and wind puffed up.

I paddled out anyway as couldn’t see it too good in the glare.
Rips and water moving everywhere, disjointed banks way out to sea even on high tide.

Hopefully rearranged in to something better quickly.

Banks are fucked around here today.

Evening, Daz.

A lot more than hyfi.
I’ve surfed them at the tub.
