I was only yanking your chain steve. Check turns or no, I thought they were purty

Mid morning is the worst time to shoot the Ox in winter due to the angle of the sun being right behind the best part of the wave but at the least he should have realised surfing the Ox is about the whole wave and how a rider gets in rhythm with it, or not.

That guy, I'll bet sheepstations is a semi-retired cube monkey who rarely surfs and is grinding out some nickel and dime video jobs.
still it was good to see some of my mates tearing it up and that hood looked about as creepy and gimpish as I thought, or more.

I like Craig Halstead's stuff. Like anything, some work better than others. But his clips have a style. His are like a day remembered, which in the mind has become a series of impressions, with some longer bits, with a softness. Halstead has his own rhythm, a local auteur.

Like including your couple of turns, which had a really nice flow btw, something I might remember thinking back, while not necessarily remembering every raddest turn on the day.

My head felt like a Steggles no10 frozen chook in the oven yesterday. Might put it away for a whole.

I also can't believe there are more waves today... Being spoiled by a N wind in June.

This northerly has been like a shadow on my soul since last September

The spot, wherever the fcuk it might be, is more worried about you than you are of it. About time you learned that, Braithwaite, old chum

How come the water was so murky at Lennox on Tuesday and Wednesday?

I stuck to my general plan to avoid the rock jump, and paddled out in the rip in front of the dead tree on the beach, in the middle of town. The waves were good enough and the crowd factor negligible compared to the point, so I did not paddle to the point.

However, back to the question about the water colour: How come it looks like there has been heavy rain, when it has not rained in quite a while? Is that the infamous sewerage plant overload or something else?

Had to be the river I reckon - got a fair bit of rsin and that's the end of it - was clear up the beach today but driving over the hill towards Ballina you could see the line of dirty water ending off the point at flatrock.

Were you stting near the bloke in the euro trunks on the sup on wednesday? Fcuk he must have been freezing - he had a steamer on today

Big fresh in the Richmond, it's a lot bigger than the Tweed. The EAC stopped running so there was nothing to really clear the dirty water away, especially under prevailing S/SE swell conditions.

It's on again this morning.

Its been on up here too ... double overhead citrus trees. Caught 3 with my multi-finned hand saw ... rode them all the way to the stump. Now I'm paddling around whats left of them and doing lost of little cutties.

no mention of the waves today?

was a real pulsey summer swell here. had a NE element to it, lots of push. a nearby reef was breaking and a mate was out there, 4 broken boards in about 40 minutes.

i surfed a beachie and at one point caught a wave and then paddled back out and copped 20 on the head. 20!

felt more summer.

would have been bigger up there but it was nice as all hell down here.
Beachies were crowded but there were about ten out at the Point mid-morning!
