Yep.
But they're running it up at Access 11. There's small fun waves at Tea Tree, Nationals, Gum Trees and Johnos.

Bought a mal again.
Surfed rainbow/greeny. Fun
My longboarding is a bit out of touch.
It’s been a while

What kind of mal Buddy?
Single or Widow Maker?

2nd hand Nigel Beckham 1+2
Surfed it as a single.
Was a bit stiff so have set the fin further fwd for next surf.

I’ve been riding a widowmaker for the first time in twenty years. Really didn’t like the Bear I had back then and have mainly ridden mals with a single ever since. Except for my old Takayama which I had set up as a thruster till I snapped it.

Heavy?

Solid. Good glass job.
Might be 66/6 glassing, or 66/64

Granite Bay.

First time

Fair walk with a log

Yep.
Even longer on the way back.
Well worth it though.
Slightly overhead and only 5 of us all the way out.
Tea Tree was a shitfight.

Never surfed Granite. I’ve surfed overhead Tea Tree with three of us out. Tea Tree is like how Rainbow Bay used to break with a couple of extra bits like that bump on the inside. Surfed Nationals really good a couple of times.

Over of my best surfs ever was at Granites.
2-3ft, 3 people out, smooth as glass.

It's a special place.
Primal.
There's probably plenty of similar places the world over.
But the rarely so close to civilization.
If you can call Noosa civilized.

Rottnest wave buoy is showing 4m and the wind is currently offshore. I'm gonna be ready to surf at first light.

Already gone SSW at 9 knots, but that's side-off at a few places I might surf... one is delightfully named Sharkpits

Get out there Cranked!

Just got back. The wind was offshore locally but was blowing onshore out to sea and destroyed the swell... occasional head high crap. Surfed by myself for less then an hour and came home.
