I was out there with my oldest friend, a couple of Bribie Boys.....we got this 10 ft set on the head and he creased his Brewer.

Then I got this big wedge, that had a crease in it which gave me a chip shot into an 8ft double up. Rode it to the Bream hole and it walled up the whole fcuking way.

Desert storm day ?

Watched some fella get pancaked pretty hard into the trough at sandon, taking off at the deepest point. He was on some big rhino chaser. Tried paddling in, but got held up in the gurgle for a second or two, then pitched straight down the chute. It looked ugly.

The inside run was looking ok, had its moments, but still not ideal.

looks wonky, it was butter texture here.

Went from stiff offshore, to light offshore to dead sheet glass.

Had a few nice ones friday arvo at the point.
Today was too big, wobbly, and crowded for me so I took my kids to the spring fair.

Be careful out there today there's a bit of size around

I checked the surf from an Incan temple today, it was solid, maybe 8ft closeout beachbreaks and bigger offshore.
There was a surfable looking reform inside one of the islands. Fuck knows how you would've got out there without a ski, and it is 12 degrees and full of petrochemical runoff.

I never did get a surf on Rapa Nui. It came up from flat to 6-8ft and solid the afternoon before we left, just before we took the kids snorkeling at some deepwater pinnacles.
The next morning I ran around like a headless chicken trying to find a rental board and the best I could rustle up was a 6'4" Bushman thruster that was missing a fin so I gave it a miss.
Even tried to buy a guy's board and he wouldn't let it go.

Mataveri is a lot heavier than it looks in the vids. At 8ft it breaks about 2 board lengths from a cliff.

Well, Sandon was blardy luvly this morning! Even got a barrel. Rare for me.

Not too crowded either, everyone came down on Sunday I guess.

Farm had a few this arvo. Long ones out the back that reformed into a few little tube sections on the shore. 2+1 NPJ was good fun as always.

Haven't been out since Sunday but will go tomorrow. Hope the swell has shifted some sand back into the far north end. It's been fat straight and deep in there for a while.

I'd just spent nearly 30 minutes getting out, so paddled another 40m to have a rest before joining the pack. A much bigger set comes rolling in and I'm in the perfect position, everyone way to far inside, a few easy strokes and I'm into a solid double overhead wave.

The bigger waves are the best. I'm racing it, 100m, 200m, 250m, looking good for Bingin Beach, but there's a paddler in the worst position, I have to pull up high when I need to be driving low, he duck dives directly underneath me, but I've lost my speed, another 50m and I kick my board out, land flat and my shoulder hits the reef solidly in about a foot of water, wave then collapses on me. Wave of the fcuking day.

Clean 2 foot peaks. Aframe take offs into great little bowl running all the way to the beach. Surfed the new 6'4 single.
Managed to get two barrels on the one wave on the shallow inside bowl section as it drains out in front of the rocks. Probably the first time I can remember that happening at maroubra.

Got this pic just after I came in, as the sun was setting.

I practiced all the different ways to get in and out of a closeout
