Yeh great wave and so well surfed but I still would have preferred another 6 inches on the board.

I'm actually quite enjoying the Narra Classic. Some good surfing going down in conditions we can all relate to!

missed it completely today. might watch a few highlights with an evening beer and weep. had been planning to spend the upcoming week (second week of school break) in phuket, getting a couple of surfs in, but a covid19 outbreak and associated inter-province travel restrictions have put paid to that. drats! boohoo...

There’s surf on Phuket? I remember having some pretty good body surfing sessions over the other side on Kho Samui.

Spent Xmas once at Kho Samui and every morning had a body surf on a lovely little sandbank - everyone else was still in bed with hangovers. Was living/working in HK at the time so any wave was a godsend.

That wasn't Trev, he's a Trev wannabe. Dude never did one single head dip.

Nice fun waves.
But as usual the nose riding leaves me cold.
I love turning a board and staying close to the slot.
People riding obviously purpose built nose riders, jumping to their feet and walking straight to the nose just don't grab me.
Waste of a good wave.

Where's Steve, we need him to verify this claim:

Steve's probably vegging out and basking in the family embrace after several long hard days of surf reporting for Beachgrit on the Narrabeen contest. And a marvellous job he's done too. You beauty Steve.
