Where did you surf today ?

[Cranked]

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.

Ahhh the pleasure and the pain

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.

Glorious bank isn't it Iggy.

Mechanically perfect.

Had a lovely afternoon with 20 odd Brazilians. No sarcasm intended

[Davros]

Trannys?

[Cranked]

Lol

[Hatchnam]

Maroubra mid-north bank. Flawless walled up righthander running all the way to the beach. Surfed the 6'4 single. No snaps or vert reos etc. taking off just behind the peak into a high trimline then cutting down the face and back into the bowl as needed.

How good is it iggy, amazing waves for south swell.

[Hatchnam]

Yep. Just the right amount of size and fetch in the south swell for the banks to cook. Not too small as to be a fat backwasher. Not too strong as to be a straighthander. All the planets are in line. Those two recent big swells moved some sand around for the better that's for sure.

[Davros]

More close outs. The swell is nice but the banks don't like the swell direction.

Lots of fun on the mid tide near the club house - great way to end the week.

[crabmeat thompson]

did 3 backhand turns on one wave this morning. it may be a record for this winter.
