Times like these, when you start racking up day after day of OH clean point surf, and all the grime and crowds of summer seem like dim remembrances from a shadowy nightmare world. Rats and human filth as Mal Meninga would say. Gone, all gone. No more Hypto Krypto's and tender footed tourists. The stink of those white puffy feet gone for another year. It's like breathing again, after suffocating. Pure joy.
I had a few beers under my mates house Fri night. My oldest friend. Who I travelled the world with. Just a couple of Bribie boys. There was a single bulb, dirt floor. We smoked a joint.
"never leaving this place", he said. I nodded assent.
This morning after more sparkling point surf glimmering away under a blue sky, I felt like the pimp holding Jodie Foster's prostitute in the penultimate scene in Taxi Driver.

Why were you sat under the house? Who were you hiding from?

My local looked rooted, banks seem non existent as perfectly groomed lines of clean swell closed out onto the beach.

Don't get too romantic Loof, I'm as shackled as the next work-a-daddy.
I just don't have the white puffy feet.

Looked like mostly closeouts to me as well. The car park at my other regular down south was full of sand. The banks were pretty dumpy too.

christened the new wettie this morning. fun in the sun with reasonably punchy peaks in the southern corner. banks are't too shabby, in fact better off since the storm.

You can look out at the mango tree, see scorpio rising.

Coal Coast is in excellent condition post ECL. Awesome beach breaks all over the place.

All i'm hearing right up and down the coast is how fcuking good all the banks are. ECLs are supposed to fcuk the banks, not groom them into A-frame perfection for a 1000 km. What gives?

I reckon the banks thru Rainbow Bay are better than they have been for quite a years. Long, speedy, walling waves. Mini mal paradise.

Thanks Steve. Correction noted.
I have trained myself to call boogie boards, body boards. More to learn.

Sure, mid-lengths. That takes out the embarrassment, not that there should be any embarrassment. Ride whatever you like. Though for an old school looking, smaller wave designed, 7'8" single fin; mini mal seems a good description.

Duck maybe it was because this was such a sustained event that the banks had an opportunity to get organised?
Just guessing, haven't looked at the wave plots

I've surfed 5 out of the last 6 days. Judging by the amount of good shortboarders joining in, I guess my local is going good.
Not overly crowded though.
One thing I've noticed is that about the time I'm putting my board on the racks, the number of people driving through the car park without stopping is increasing. Judging by the glazed stare they give the surf and the fact that they're dressed in business clothes and often with kids in car seats, I suspect they're on their way to work after dropping the kids of at school or day care.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
