I am totally wasted.

Sleep now.
You animal, Trevor.

How are the sunny coast holiday crowds down your end?

Pretty nasty but this was a bit further north at another rock break usually really crowded but it wasn't..
Maxed out around 20 at the worst.
Manageable at that number.

My point has been busy bus because it's spread out also manageable.

Happy Valley however 🤬
I drove by The Alley last Tuesday.
Fuck what a mess. Two surf schools and what looked like about 50 people just swimming in the break.

Nice part of the world, purple. Myself and AJ were down at Don Hearns last week- managed to get Green Island (relatively) uncrowded and clean 4ft one morning… a rarity!

Any angry kickouts to report back ?

Aside, some fun chunky four foooters south Maroubra on Tuesday. Used the channel bottom single fin to spear down the line on them, sectioning fast!

Nabbed a couple of surprisingly long ones down the south end of Bondi.

Yeah, had a tantrum the day before, when it was 4-5' and really lumpy. Couldn't get into the fcuken things and, when I did, just kooked it big time. Punched my board, and screamed FUCK at the top of my lungs underwater. Real toddler stuff. Needed more board. Bought a pristine 6'3" Outer Island for $260 with two sets of fins.

Green Island is a bitch on shortboards. You at least want a mid length or longboard. Yes, certain times it’s ok on a shorty out there, but most often not.

I’ve only been there once but I feel that top reef section at 4-5foot would be a good shorty wave.

Aj needed that Outer Island for sure. I was on the 6’2 DP and it was perfect for the wave, as you say buddy better up the top but got some nice ones all the way through. I then accidentally dropped in on 2 x world champ Pam Burridge.

Honestly has no idea she was there until I’d committed. Of course, once I realised I pulled off straight away but the damage was done.

My mate took his daughter for a surf lesson with her, and I begged him to apologise for me!

Yeah, it’s pretty cruisy. Nice place to surf though.
I was out on the beach break at the mouth ofthe lake one time. Pretty much surfing on my own. Hadnt watched tv or listened to the radio for a few days. Drove into Milton and the radio said there was a school of 200 sharks around there :shock:

Funny, all the guys I know down there were really down on Rabbidge. At the time I had a Rabbidge mal, I’d got him to make me a 7’ and I was getting him to make junior an egg. :lol: Never had any problems with him myself…..but I didn’t live there.
