Where did you surf today ?

[Hatchnam]

There were some waves about this morning though pretty jumbled and washy. Waiting for tomorrow morning when it's due to tidy up a bit.

[crabmeat thompson]

scored some more before it really started to slow down and back off.

it was swift and sudden the way it dropped.

chopped those jerusalem artichokes into chunks pan fried them in olive oil, then poached them in red wine vinegar with sliced russian garlic, chilli, and bay leaves. Added some broccoli at the end.

served with beer battered flathead.

it was choice bro.

[Davros]

Manly, lots of solid close outs close to shore.Rode an old board with Redex Fins screw in system. Apparently they don't make those fins anymore. Was nice riding a nicely foiled no nonsense board.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

I've got a Egan thruster with the screw fins. Goes unreal

'if you are surfing long period groundswells on INdo reefs, mostly IMpossibles with tradewinds, it's almost certain an epoxy sandwich board, particularly an EPS core is going to be a performance disadvantage compared to a poly.

Steve, I reckon Kelly Slater won Teahupoo on an EPS board. Care to comment?

Yeah looked like one of his new firewires. He probably doesn't surf those though lol

[Hatchnam]

russian garlic.

[steve shearer]

not a fan Iggs?

[Hatchnam]

It's fine. Just the romantic overreaches that caught my attention.

[steve shearer]

you think russian garlic is a romantic overreach?

[Hatchnam]

you think russian garlic is a romantic overreach?

No. It's just that "Russian garlic" seemed to be a superfluous embellishment of writing when a more prosaic "garlic" might have done just as well. In much the same way that "counterbalancing" might have been sufficient enough a term, instead of "full Dionysian hand jive body torque"

Don't mind me. I dig your poetic stream of consciousness. Just feeling a little agitated as I've haven't surfed since Monday arvo. Tomorrow get ready for updates on mediocre surf updates about wonky / fun beach breaks.

[steve shearer]

I was just being accurate.

Italian garlic is much more finicky, I would never use it for a quick thrown together lunch.

Iggy conceding already on the quality and quantity of waves ridden?

[steve shearer]

Super perfect longboard waves happening right now , might bag a three-o for the day.

The banks at north maroubra are good at the moment, and the conditions tomorrow will be a little better (wind dialing slightly more offshore, swell period ratcheting up a shave, swell direction dialling a little more from the south). - overall, it'll be a tad smaller tomorrow, but tidier and have a better right wall.

[alakaboo]

That's a long way to say yes

[Hatchnam]

Well you seemed to be probing for justification - and there it is

[steve shearer]

went home and grabbed a mal and a funboard and wetsuits, texted my daughter and told her to meet us in front of the pub.
super fun mal peelers.
the couple in front were from Michigan, flying a kite.





These rights were long and peeling.




One of the better little longboard waves is the left in front of the Pub when it's small.
