tried y'day. One wave kicked out through the back of it before it closed out and banged it when I landed.

I'll give it another week I think. They originally said 4-6 weeks, but after 2 weeks I should be able to put my weight on it and do most things that don't involve banging it again.

It'll be 3 weeks on saturday, and I only started putting my full weight on it about weds this week ... so i'm a little behind schedule.


I've checked the waves/ beachies around me every morning though ... there's been a few diamonds here and there in the mostly wobbly closeouts.

where you been surfing? there's a bit of a high tide bank up just up from you. a few lefts & rights on it.

the 2013 spot, we'll call that.

nice. hopefully this solid/ pulsey NE swell doesn't level it all again. I should be good to go after that.

I'll look out for you.

At its peak, el nino never really got going at all this summer, did it?

I know it was talked about, prognosticated upon, speculated towards, but it was never really here, and now appears to have confirmed by its disappearance.

Apart from Braithy's mangoes, that is.

As I was walking on the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.............

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

We've got a lot of the Blue Triangles around the Northern Beaches. Never seen them here before.

The passionfruit vine is now covered in what I think are called blue tigers (still on butterflies, not acid)

We had a massive blue triangle population explosion just after Xmas.

Massive tiger shark cruising just offshore from Boring Bay. All hells going to break loose if mama tiger decides to taste some tourist flesh.
