Is your thumb getting better?

It is mate. Pretty much back to normal, a bit of scar tissue but the feeling has returned.

Same weight as before. 6'1" and 93 kgs. Riding dirt bikes doesn't trouble my back so just rode them more instead. Pop up has suffered. Still paddle fit. Hyper extension of the spine while paddling is not good for me. When I can keep my chest lower on the board my back feels better for it. Only post...

I got lucky. Low tide, deep water east-loving rock shelf, no wind and 5 guys.

Dropping off fast though for sure.

Shearer would go. Pull in son!

Yep it was going past the Coal Coast, I managed to get a couple of 3-4' at the break with the most kooks around here- which on this swell direction seems to be the biggest and most consistent. Snagged a cracker, came down with plenty of speed and lo' ! The next section was about to throw over. Very ...

Looking tasty for the morning. Some nice lines coming through on dark.

Congrats mate!

Nice style bud!

I'm going with Carroll on this system. Only because it is a kid-free weekend for the Wyre, and I have to get my froth on.

Ok, as shown by the pingers.

Yeah for sure- you can see Saturday night's high and then a flat mid week come down. Then hit it again next weekend!

Yep, loved it.

Such an insane place to surf!

this looks interesting: thoughts?

Edit: they're calling it a surfboard, looks more like a kneeboard to me...

As the low tide hit it got very nice down here.

Good point channels. With regards race/culture etc- I had a couple of interesting experiences surfing Bondi. I could be mistaken for Brazilian, and on two occasions I realised this was indeed happening. A couple of 'local' (read: trustafarians or cashed up tradies who'd lived there for 3 years) surf...

Well this morning's conditions were absolutely spiffing, what?

More time in the surf?

Yesterday, quintessential Mid-North Coast point break. Waist to chest high, clean and peeling forever. Crystal clear warm water. Today, quintessential Mid-North Coast beachie. Waist high peaks with the odd bigger one. Super clean. Warm water. I could happily live up here. Nice one BA!! When it's go...

See now, this is why skateboarding will always be cooler than surfing for the youth. Young surfers get old and keep surfing, thus losing any semblance of rebel edge or cool, whereas skateboarding at 40+ is a recipe for broken bones, busted kneecaps and a host of other injuries.* Sk8 or Die! (Die) Of...
