Welcome to my world....however lately the little bank just keeps on giving. Even today....it looked like absolute crap but produced an hour of zippy little shooters.

Building peaky little windswell at waist to chest high. Surfed the 6'0 single fin egg, with the fairly extreme concaved bottom. Fun as fk.

Pretty much offshore all day at a blueberry coast back beach, with very good sand, and most of the punters AWOL playing two up and getting pissed.
A good day.

When bananas can't make a buck anymore you rip them up and plant Blueberries.
Or sub-divide into 500 SQM blocks.

DY was quite good. Offshore 3/4 foot not quite closing out clean waves with a little energy over the shallow bank. Kind of reminds me of Autumn.

Many local beachies cranking this arvo - full offshore and rising swell. Had the real winter feel. Good luck tomorrow whoever is getting out there.

Surfed my 6'8 round pin tail single at cronulla point on the lowering tide today... had a bit of fun. Wish I had more time though. Had to get home to daddy duties. Did a sweet roundhouse that was like that one good golf shot that keeps you coming back next week.

I had the best one wave surf at the Point today. Just picked up this absolute grower on the way out that ended up spiralling down the line as fast as I could go. Finished way past the hut, put the cue in the rack and went home.

must've been a sub 5 minute surf.

I was on my little stubby channel bottom quad.

Salts, you ever get that feeling: thats as good as I can surf. I had that feeling and I wanted to start and end the session like that. I think I did two turns and they were the best two turns I've done in months. The rest of the wave was just full speed down the line, just flying high lines.


I did check it just before dark and was tempted.....it still looked fun.
