Re: Where did you surf today ?

Rented a board and surfed this beachbreak just south of Hua Hin this morning. Head-high sets, a handful of friendly Thai surfers in the water for a couple of hours, pretty fun!

What are your thoughts re having the WSL bring a comp to your beach Lucky Al?
Doesn't look much worse than Rio.
It is worse than Rio. Much worse. And no one in the village has ever heard of Kelly or John John or Gabriel or anyone. No point in having a comp at our beach.

There will be time, there will be time
Time to murder and create
And time to rent a surfboard on the third or fourth day of thinking about it

Re: Just general surfing stuff

The beach at Hoi An doesn't have anything like our rock outcrop. It's near the southern end of the long straight flat beach that stretches 30km from the Son Tra peninsula at Danang to the Thu Bon rivermouth, and the beachside properties there are built on sand. I guess that makes that them more vuln...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

here's another shot of the rock outcrop to give an idea of its size. it's fun to sit at our place and watch the spray fly up when winter waves are breaking on the other side.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

here's a picture on a calm day from the end of the rock outcrop close to where you can take off on a mushy outside left. pretty nice view. shows how much protection the rock outcrop gives our place from the northeast swells.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

in this shot i'm at the point where you turn off what started as a left and look for the right to reform so you can scoot back across the shorebreak. i really like getting to that point and seeing that it's going to reform right - doesn't always do it. https://i.ibb.co/7KfZtbP/bai-xep-surf-february-...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

sometimes the winter sea gets rough enough for a left to form off the end of the rock outcrop. when it breaks there i call it the "big mush". sometimes you can start out the back there and go left across the cove and when it comes to the rocks that stick up in the middle turn back and go right as it...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

How many days a year can you surf there Al? here's a shot of typical surf at our beach. as you can see it's not an outstanding peak. doesn't have the long right with left slide, doesn't have an unbelievable bowl section and is just not tube city. https://i.ibb.co/Z1S3FyL/bai-xep-surf-january-2015-1...

he looked bigger in 'to kill a mockingbird", although maybe that was because he was lumbering around and towering over the kids

Re: Just general surfing stuff

here's another shot showing summertime sand in front of our place, from july 2019 - the beach that gets all our sand in the winter is just out of sight around the corner behind that resort up there:
