Great spot huh Salty? Although 12 people is a bit of a crowd lol.

I’ll be down there at chrissy. How was the water temp?
Water a chilly 17-18
Sealed 3/2 steamer was essential
Crowd ballooned with local guys and gals after midday
Amazing banks down there Just as I remembered it 35 years ago
Nice.

NB’s this morning. The BOM said NE winds which may have caught a few people out. It was Westerly early and super clean. Peaks galore and only four guys on the whole beach. Happy days.

Shoulda been pumping at my local with the conditions but tide was prob a bit high when I hit it.

Just got in from north Maroubra. Was ok. Fun rights at chest high. Bit slow and shapeless but enough length and wall to get some cutbacks going

Just to go back to the great Forecasting Debate Magic Seaweed is giving Lennox Head 5 stars for Sunday and calling it 8.5ft.

Surf forecast (god help me please, it was just a quick squizz) is right on board with a mighty 2733 Kj call.

Still got it, but I’m riding a Lost Psycho Killer at the moment. Absolutely loving it.

Well suited. That’s pretty much all I surf lol. It paddles like a demon. Plenty of foam under the chest but its well foiled. Not chunky at all. The rails aren’t soft like a lot of similar boards so it still has bite. Super fast across flat sections, but with enough rocker to feel loose through turns. Tails weird, but it just seems to work.

Nah. Felt one up when I bought the PK. It seemed to have a more chunky feel. See a lot of them around though. I’m a big fan of Lost. Quality is right up there. I’ve had mine about 4 months. No deck compressions at all.

Late glass off. Swell picking up and getting way more consistent right on dark.

Daylight savings for the win.
