Redemption Island for me.. big left walls, unreal.

man, had a shocker yesterday. Pumping Point, amazing. Pulled up around 3pm, not too crowded, 6 foot sets. Epic. As I suited up, I reckon 100+ people were doing the same thing! All the local teen rippers, top notch locals, not so good blow ins, the whole shebang. It was bedlam out there, I got nada. ...

I’d like to visit Dunedin to see Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street. Take your skatey. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/top-aussie-skateboarder-bombs-baldwin-st Insane. Bombing the hill is one thing, but his slide to slow down is up there with one of the best roundhouse cutbacks to speed...

Yeah I was secretly hoping it was pumping, big and clean.

Na. But yes agree the swell kicked in arvo- went for a swim at Wollongong city beach and it was 4 ft

I had to go to Shellharbour for something, so I decided to check The Farm (being that there was supposed to be a long period south swell and north winds). I’d already surfed the point which was awfully underwhelming this morn, but anyway I drove into Killalea park and watched in horror at the many m...

Lunchtime surf at Punta de Wyre.
Fun wave. First time I’ve surfed there.

Cool! What brings you to the bosom of the Illawarra?

But you didn’t, beans. You didn’t.

I’ll be down at the Gong until Friday. I’ve never stayed in the city before.

Lower East cafe for the best breaky, chefs choice for some decent Chinese - get the crispy eggplant. Lots of good breweries too. Send me a message, we may well be able to get a beer!

I've just got less and less interested in Lopez as I've got older and realised this is probably another grinning hippy capitalist with impeccable timing. Can't stomach the spiritual cloak these people clothe themselves in and present as fact to the outside (often adoring) world. He also seems, almo...

no, is it worth it? I got the impression it was a bland piece of hero worship. Not interested at all. Well, yeah. It is, I guess. I didn’t know the full Lopez story, so it was good to join the dots. The footage is amazing, of course- reeling Desert Point, Pipe etc. But for sure, it has a big dose o...

Yeah it sold fast. I wasn't that upset.

I just watched The Yin and Yang of Gerry Lopez and it seemed fateful that it popped up.

Some epic footage in it, anyone else checked it out?

Thoughts? Might be a fun board?

It’s a mix of Angourie and Lennox, two waves where you need a saucy little 4/3 springy the most.

Hi lacchele1

How did you go on the weekend? Did you also get toob’d?

This arvo is looking exciting The wind has swung offshore in Sydney. Its turned on in a big way up here. So good. Surfed a place I’ve been wanting to try out for years, a big left that breaks off an island. Wind was pretty bad for it, cross shore in a westerly I now know, but crowd was zero. Which ...

This arvo is looking exciting

Aj will take a dim view of that. He was with me getting frustrated out at Thommos, then The Farm!
