After a gale force offshore yesterday making paddling and taking off a challenge, today was more calm. Marginally smaller but just smooth and fun.
Make of this what you will but I was driving along the Passage about 5.30, heading for my local and the radio played a song from my teenages surfing years.
Singing (well, yelling in my case), along with it set the mood for the session.
Yes I made it out the back, I cornered left and right, I walked the plank.
But no. I didn't get my toes above the nose.....
Oh. And it was 5° air temp.

Amongst the close outs (the banks are cooked at my local) a couple of nice waves.

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in and you shake it all about,
That’s what it’s all about, Trev.

Remarkably astute commentary from our resident. “I’ve retired and spend all my time on a surf forum”

Not totally flat here. But northerlies now.
Wednesday I had an hour and a half at my local. Then another hour at The Bluff.
Pretty worn out by the end of all that.

I've had a couple of really fun, really kooky surfs in the last couple of days. Regaining and retraining my atrophied skills.
3-5ft lefts up to 150m long, rocky reef platforms covered with some sand from a river mouth, sort of like a mirror image in shape of Trev's local, but it holds up to 15ft.
