A reef at Torquay. Fun until 3 old blokes on SUP’s came out. Talk about boomer central. Every carpark in the area is full of blokes all 60 plus in brand new cars with an SUP, a mid-length or a ski. It’s obviously where all the boomers from Geelong and Melbourne have gone to die. Shouldn’t they be playing golf? Quite depressing really.

Fucking SUPs are taking over up here too.

Yeah. I know I've said it before. 🤪

But they're not boomers. More the next gen down.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Finally got out there - banks still a bit off but warm water and no crowds in the rain

Crappy phone photo. Oily glassy chest high peaks with only two other blokes. Classic crisp Victorian autumn day. Can’t complain.

Shit winds, shit water quality for months on end.
However, probably the best year in a long time for snapper through kirra surfers.
Good luck beating them in a paddle battle after having point surf everyday, day after day.

Best time of year. Usually plenty of swell. All day offshores. And waters still warm enough (just) for a 3x2 and no booties.

Checked the Bra out. Heaps more swell than Bondi but a bit ruffled and way crowded. Didn’t look good for the mal either. Went home and headed down to Bondi with the foamy. Managed to find a micro left no one was onto and terrorised the learners on the Shorey.
