Nice surprise this morning - NE swell, low crowd and the right wind

mmmmmmmmmmm...maybe you see why the want (need) the wave pool

Bit of press following the sale of Rip Curl to Kathmandu for $350m - that price implies RC is a pretty profitable business (could be $40m a year). Maybe some of the family were looking for their early inheritance ? https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/a-shining-exception-how-rip-curl-caught-a-3...

Early on the NBs before the wind/high tide and better than it looked.

Only the GC needs the jet ski

Small peaks on the NBs and better than it looked

Not sure the Lexus SUV safety controls allow burnouts.....or is it a Kia Carnival ??

Manly and yes one of better days of the year (just that more east in the swell makes all the difference).

Cold, pouring rain, junk in the water, no one else out (wonder why) and one wave almost made it worth the effort.

Protected NB corner this morning and not too crowded (and wow you notice how warm the water is compared to air temp).

Same for me before the NE wind and no one else out

Well this morning was might fine for me - very clean conditions. Autumn has finally arrived.

And Kelly into the quarter finals

On the SMH today....freak waves even mention Patrick Swayze. Note they have 50 year storm ?

NBs and despite the high tide and crowds some gems in there.

Well I wear hearing aids (30% hearing loss) and with them in then no tinnitus.

When I did (failed) the hearing test the hearing specialist asked if I could lip read.

And I had a surf yesterday (plus last Monday) on the NBs.

Better today before the oh so regular NE wind. One wave made it for my Friday.
