The swell needs a bit of west in it to get in there, i see it is going to be a SW swell direction so should be ok,

even with a SW Wind it is a lot more protected than a lot of other places.

Looking good comared to this past week

Hopefully they will chickenstix, we are the only ones that can be certain.

Those sort of comments don't worry me Fergus, you are doing the BOP as well aren't you?



My favourite event the one that I have been training for is the "at Caves House afterwards", no PFD required for that one.....as long as I can fit the zimmer frame in the car.

P.S. they have got a ski to takes us out the back for the surf comp haven't they, I've seen that Yallingup place, that would be a long paddle.

So who's in the open surf divisions?

Smart moneys on the Jakovich bro's to take 1 and 2 again.

Dark horse would be the classy englishman Rich Twist who's coming down to compete for the first time.

Lets hope for better condition's than what we had last year.

The dawn patrol wasn't very inspiring low tide and swell, hopefully it will pick up a bit with the tide.
