you get any Buddy?

fcuk it was frustrating this arvo.

with good banks and offshore winds it would have been spectacular as the swell went more SSE today.

instead it just smeared out across the back like a toddler with a plate of over-ripe banana.

and a really nasty gurgle running through it.
Worked all day, had a look 7.30 tonight. Swell lines looked great.

Out of the way spot south of town, not copping the full brunt, but clean as.

Pleasant.
How’s the Shiva? What sort of waves does it like?

All rounder apart from short period slop. Broken down middle aged man who can still do some decent turns dimensions .

That was fun this morning, bit less groomed so throwing up a few peaks. Still some good energy in it.

Ditto around the Eastern Suburbs. Promising potential for better banks after this swell event though. They can't get much worse than the last few months. Pretty much the worst banks I can remember.

Thud, did you check the beach that shares a name with a model of Subaru?
No, but heard had been good. Probably the most protective locals up in these parts.

Mate of mine was rocking off the slope rock at Nationals a couple of years ago.

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.

I got absolutely fccckn rolled on a rock shelf once, looked a good spot, long lull on a big day and then this thing detonates on me and drags me over a load of barnacles, board dinged up, cuts and scratches everywhere. Didnt even get out for a surf. Physically painful and embarrassing as fccck. Any cnut who has never been fccked up on a rock off is obviously playing it way too safe.

My last screw up rocking off was jumping off at McKenzies last year and getting washed back onto the rock shelf snapping my favourite fins on my fish.
Oh yeah, I also got a big bruise before Xmas jumping off at Crescent and having the fin get me in the thigh.
