Mexico and the southern parts of USA are experiencing temps in the high 40s Celsius. Multiple records broken. Just a constant round of heatwaves, floods and droughts worldwide. Fingers crossed Oz is having a break at the moment.

thanks Trev. Balls are doing okay.

Nah, Bondi is putrid at the moment. Barely not closing out at high tide. Saw The Bra this morning. It looked way better….plus another couple of spots around here.

Narra looking fcuking ordinary again.

Thanks, Offie. Just glad to get the ball rolling.

Got a couple of nice drops today. Haven’t caught one of those particular peaks for quite a while.

It was a custom for an Irish friend of Steve’s.
Correct.
Football part, I don’t know. Was just speculating his build.

Cheers, Buddy. Custom made wetsuits are a niche market.

You mean the suit was custom made for an Irish football player?
I was speculating about the cut of suits in Japan where the suits come from.

Yeh.
It’s pretty good.
Not a perfect fit but does a solid job.
I’m picturing the guy it was made for as that classic Irish footy player build, strong and solid through the hips, wiry arms, small chest.

Rather than a Japanese guy. Do they make wetsuits with short legs over there?

So, went to specialist. Ultrasound needed then possibly both sides done in 2 to 3 weeks after that.

.
I know it's an inch thicker, but even allowing for that it's way, way heavier and stiffer and harder to paddle in.

No wonder it's a bit stiff.

I noticed that too

Is Steve having difficulty with converting millimeters to imperial measurements?
……or just hyperbole laid on too thickly.

Man, Narrabeen looks ordinary. Lots of close outs and rail bogs.

Off to the specialist tomorrow to get my hernia assessed.
Had a surf today. Have to take it fairly carefully but got a couple I was happy with.
Really notice not surfing much the last week or so.
Popping up being the main issue and initially laying down. Paddlings pretty good.

50 out at Bronte. A bit smaller than yesterday. Nice conditions with a few good looking waves in the mix but too crowded for basically one peak.

Just have a word to Bugs about where he gets his long pants. He had some impressively baggy ones on yesterday during the broadcast.

….or Sydney Wave Pool Opening Dates.

Sorry for not paying much attention to your travel itinerary, Skip.

I thought Skip was surfing the new wave pool in Sydney.
