RealSurf Surfers' Forum

well I was at Bells this arvo and it was about 3-4', howling offshore, high tide Rincon-ish and about four hundred people out. Some of the worst surfing I've ever seen. Winki was bigger but still just a flat wall with foam roller sections, only about 300 out there. I watched but couldn't go out, like imagine surfing Snapper's crowd, but the water is 13 degrees and it's flat faced in a 25knot offshore.

Was thinking about those.....possibly exaggerated.......numbers. If we take them as real and you say everyone is on a surfboard that costs between say $300 and $800........and a wetsuit that costs conservatively say $200. You've got an industry right there.

got two sub sea-level pipes at little marley on the micro twin fish before I went and bodysurfed froggies for over an hour. was off it's tits, just big hollow gapers coming through one after the next. hand planes are fun.

was below sea level drainers at one of the local points this morning. Crowd to begin with : zero. Topped out at four people.

Man, I thought the Goldy must have been pumping this morning.

This is turning out to be a king June.

what a time to be alive.

Just saw Swellnet gave it a 4/10 rating. Thats delightful.

there were waves so thick you couldn't paddle into them. I got seriously worried about breaking my neck.

I was up at first light and just knew somewhere would be happening- I'm guessing you mean at my fave - lay down on the floor to test my ribs and no chance. At least another week. Fcuk.

nah, down this way but that spot could have been all-time. not sure on the sand there.

i didn't surf this morning, too much on and have a cold and as the day dragged on felt more and more like a premium bag of shit. i went to my little bank i've been surfing to have a bo-peep & get away from the laptop this arvy ... and man, oh man. it was twist & twirl your moustache-ends good. some peaks, some sucking dry, some walling up for 80 odd metres ... all of them thick and throaty.

weird all the forecast sites calling it 2-foot se swell head to magnets for more size etc ... when in reality it's angling in from the ENE in just thick peaks.

king june, alright... i'm in love.

yeah, it was so much punchier and thick than the sites reported.

A sooooo not winter setup looks likely early-mid next week out on the horizon.

tragically I think this is one of those times when we all wish New Zealand would just fcuken disappear

but who will do the haka?

Tonga.

Tonga v Samoa in union is a sight to behold, the hakas they do make the NZ ones look like the hokey pokey
