Hello from Byron

lol

hello dudes, hope you're all enjoying work.

Just had a session out at the wreck. Been surfin a little secret spot near South West Rocks over the last few days and tomorrow we go to Tweed Heads. Hoping to catch some of the finals of the ASP on the weekend.

Surf is pretty small here atm but alot of fun.

At this spot just outside of South West Rocks the locals were showing me the place to jump of the rocks. There was just the 3 of us out on very nice 4 to 5 foot sets. One of them asked me how many people would be riding a wave like that in Sydney? I said about 20.

I'm not looking forward to returning to the city I must admit.

geez, only 20? - where is this Sydney spot?


Anyway, thanks for rubbing it in!!! Here's wishing you onshore winds and dribble for the rest of the trip as punishment!! Actually I'll retract that - that would be pretty harsh ...

I love surf road trips. Have a wave for me...

You can do me a favour and go and have a nice cold schooner at the end of the day at the Railway Friendly Bar for me ta,

The last time i was in Byron i nearly had a f@rk'n meltdown from the crowd situation. I surfed the Pass for the first time in 15 years and got smoked on nearly every wave. Dropped in on, not by local groms,but by every kook in the bay that day who could find a surfboard. I got dropped in by mothers, children, Swedes, ferals, local "legends",and other assorted flotsom. All i wanted to do that afternoon was violently assault everyone in Byron. That would have been very uncool, so i went 30k's south and surfed southwall with 4 other guys and wondered what the fudge i was thinking.I will never set foot in Byron again,it used to be such a nice town, now it is f@rked beyond recognition.

Kick back at the Railway Hotel enjoy a coldie for me as well, The Railway must be the most relaxing place in the whole of Byron, especially when they get the Jazz bands playing up there. I was a bit dissappointed when last time I went up there they didn't have the "Teriyaki Burgers" on the menu - Geez I loved them after a day of surfing.

Yeah, as for the surf, it goes off, when you can get a wave to yourself, just gotta go when the crowd doesn't, there's plenty of waves out of town. The crowd factor reminds me of Noosa, when a wave is on the crew seem to drop out of the trees, come from under rocks and travel for miles.
