scratch that 3-4' call. 4-5' with the odd bigger one, no wind, very very pretty indeed.

Yep. Cranking, out at a deep water rock shelf bommie on my awful 90's banged up 7'6", big and pretty was exactly what came to mind. Are we in for 7 days of this?!Nick Carroll wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 1:08 pmscratch that 3-4' call. 4-5' with the odd bigger one, no wind, very very pretty indeed.
@pirate, gotcha. Were you in the same neck of the woods this morning?

onshore 4-5ft here this morning with no sand.
Swellnet is breathlessly calling it a 9/10.
Fcuking joke.

Fk oath it is. And for tomorrow the planets look to be aligning for an outer bar spot that does a mighty fine impression of greenmount point.
Bit of a paddle out and sharky which keeps the crowds down, but well worth the reward.
think I’ll pack a thruster shorty and big ol’ 70’s single fin pintail and surf either depending on what mood I’m in.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I had a shit load of fun today on a 5'9.5" Webber, the Creature thing, deep two sided concave (I hesitate to call it a double concave 'cause it's built more like two single concaves side by side) with the double sunk deck profile.
It needs a bit of energy and curve but when those qualities are available it is as slick and carvy as they* say. I think at lower speeds it does not totally like rail to rail transfers, feels like the spine between the concave kind of catches a little bit, the water has to bumble past it. But when it's moving it just goes there in a nanosecond and really squeezes the turn, sharp and clean.
I am not totally sure about the value of the sunk deck but it's not a drawback. Maybe it's more the inside part as it rises up toward the stringer, allows you to feel the inner spine edge of the concave a bit.
Fascinating board, a lot to feel in it, really good tube rider.

Found the odd corner today. Nice to feel some juice under the board.

I’ve watched a couple of clips and noticed the same thing. He’s obviously gone blind in his left eye.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I snagged a few. Sand isn’t great up here but there were a few at Kirra this morning.A wave where you get three barrels on one wave without having to pay $5000 to get there has gotta be worth something?

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

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.

Left reef south of the gong. 4-5 foot and pumping. Non stop turns all the way.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
yeah lil bit smaller but still plenty of waves and still very pretty. I'm sure the prettiness will end with tonight's SE change but I don't reckon this swell will be done for quite a while.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I rode my 6'6" Desert Storm, god that thing really is almost cheating, such a magic Capet ride.
I was waiting on the back button and this thing came right in wedging in from the ENE, like a west peak.
It felt the bottom stood up and I scratched into it, then it hit deeper water filled up and hit the button properly and pitched right out.
I thought I was gone with the lip but I just got this straight up and down weightless, freefall, it felt as soft as a feather, a real rocket drop ......then I felt the fins and tail rail connect and I could drive out of the base of the wave.
so sweet.
