I’m pretty stuffed. Lots of waves. A couple of pretty good days. Nothing epic but a classic family beach holiday.
Car didn’t move for a week. Just jaunted around in juniors. My daughter had a pretty decent bash at riding the foamy.

No surfing but took the kids to Boambee Creek where it opens into the sea. Stunning! And yesterday, and again just now, to the Never Never near Glenifer. Deep clear pools of cool water with rope swings from ancient fig trees.
How good is it AJ. Heard you caught up with a good mate in Bello. It’s a great area, some decent places coming up near there ‘round Cresso

I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

Yeah, we caught up yesterday. Man it was good to see him! He’s on a mission to organise your fam, mine and his to meet at Scotts sometime.

Surfers Journal is good Cranked.

I have to acknowledge Surfing World too- too expensive for me to buy though.
Thanks... subscription only, probably should get one: $74 for 6 bi monthly issues
You want to subscribe to Bi Monthly ... :shock:

Saw some footage of really big Rincon. Plus big Ventura. Solid surf over there at the moment.

I wonder if the swellnet surf reporters even look at the surf. They are calling 3-4 foot south swell this morning.

It's pushing it to call it 2 foot at a south magnet.

Had a bash at Bondi about 2pm.1- 2ft faces. Pretty crap but the waters warm. Marginally bigger at Tama.

Kelia Moniz leaves Roxy after 17 years. Starts with a message of gratitude for the great years. In the final bit she answers, why did you leave Roxy, and she makes that very clear,

Good for her but wonder if it's a bit of a Jerry Maguire moment.

Particularly with the number of sponsored pros congratulating her.
