Got the rail of my board straight in the temple after it was wrenched from my hands trying to duck a monster set.

Came up seeing stars, really wobbly. Got myself a fat arsed eyebrow and really, really sore head.

Plus my outerislands board is cracked.

Fcuk!! Was having a blast too

wow some great waves around. Point was busy as fcuk but some bombs coming through. Managed to stick the drop on a wide one and make it right through to the sheds. Made me smile all day.

A few days of this!

So windy down here. Too windy

I really like footage of Sunset with the bigger boards.
It's got a metronomic pendulum quality to it due to the drawn out turns, then you get the snaps and closeouts like an unexpected jazz solo.

That's a very good metaphor AND simile.

Thanks Nick. The wave Owens gets is pretty amazing too. Appreciate you sharing.

That last one you get is insane NC!

Looking back at it, what has changed in your surfing at Sunset between then and now?

Cool, the beans. Then what?


In other news, some OK waves around here this morning but not that big. Went from small but fun reefy right to bigger but slower deep water left in the space of 5 mins drive- one thing I love about this coast.

It's probably better, now I'm not surfing.

Stinging for a surf. Come on!

Awesome

I had a bit too much mother's day guilt to go for the early. Let her have a sleep in and helped the kids murder her tea and toast.

By the time I got out there up at Stanny, the swell had dropped. Got a couple of weird ones into a rip bowl and slouched off home.

yeah, the meteor shower is in full swing. did you see the comet? I don't think so. I was paddling out at about 5.20am... Think the meteor shower peaks Wednesday and Thursday morning Catching up with aj and bd at all? Aj via the old telephone, he's a bit reticent to travel down here and cop a fine. ...

Last two sub dawns at the point, the only way to get it uncrowded ATM. Saw a couple of shooting stars this morning- has that meteor shower begun, or was i just lucky? Anyway, over two morning I got 3 or 4 gorgeous waves. Not huge, but muscly and clean, long walls that felt really velvety. The tide w...

It’s great to hear from you, Digger. So, your back is not great? How are the kids going? I don't truly mind if I think about it and I would not change a thing. I mean who gets to do what Ive done as a kid and as a old man, not many people. Im paying for it mind you, but no use sliding into the grav...

I nabbed a couple of smooth little point waves in the dark this morn. My first one was, well, hard to see. In fact i mistook the clouds on the horizon for the lip and stuffed it up! Need daylight saving to end stat, It got stoopid busy out there.

Great swell direction

Well Wyre, you'll be pleased to know that bank is still hanging in there. Was pumping for the late tonight. Hope you get the opportunity to catch it with some swell, it's producing some lovely waves. Awesome. Hopefully nothing too big comes through between now and the weekend to wash it away. Might...

It was absolutely pumping down here. Perfect swell direction.

I have a serious sea ulcer happening on my foot, but I just can't stay out of the water.

Fccckn pumping this morning, such nice conditions. Been a great run of swell

Looks like it is getting better and bigger, amazing looking lines coming through down here. I'm on child duty and am trying not to be distracted and grumpy

Awesome BD!! Can't wait to get down there on a couple of weeks. Hopefully the bank holds
