Beautiful pics! I think that may be "The Chief" the big chunk of granite in the background in the first photo? Jasper, Wendy and I were on the beach here in Tofino walking yesterday with "Chief" another lab who was named after that famous rock. I got out surfing for a couple of hours yesterday. Good to get back in the water.
All the best in 2020.
Cheers,
Bob

Stay in touch and give me a heads up when you have some dates. I am starting to wind down work and ramp up the surfing. Hope to be in the water tomorrow. Storm season. Life is good!

Hey Bob,
If everything goes to plan arriving APril 2nd afternoon and leaving April 6th (Monday). Friday morning could be a good opportunity to paddle together if conditions are mild before the course starts.
Thanks Luc
Yes. I hope we can get out for a surf. I will stick those dates in my calendar.
Cheers
Bob

Few days of sit down and stand up around Ventnor.
I'll paddle across from Flinders and say hi Nozza!
Surfing on the Sidewinder today, was not intentional but when I arrived at the local there were some little waves calling me. The Stingrays did not appreciate me disturbing them when I came a cropper.

Surfing on the Sidewinder today...
Great stuff Dave! Water's looking sweet.
Geez, you coulda snuck round the corner and snagged a few at the gunnery.
Looks like there was few waves getting in there on your photo.
Watch out for those Rays!!!
Keep 'em coming man!!!
Shoreham had a small uncrowded wave this morning until I started to bounce off the reef when I fell off a wave. Will wait till this arvo and have another surf on a higher tide.
Kicked off the New Year with a surf and a fish at Kaiaua. Surf not very good.....fish so small I let them all go. But kind of traditional for me to make a "first surf of the year" video. So it is what it is

Did take off fishfinder and battery before paddling out on the Bic Wing :)
The crowds have arrived had to go the long way to get around them all and found my first SUP hater who said I can't surf here, what a dick! I kept paddling to his location and he kept moving on further and further away until he found more guys on sups who could out surf him any day.
When it's Christmas holidays and you find some waves that are empty. Such a fun morning

That's interesting.....?

Big storm rolling through the west coast of Vancouver Island. Blowing 30 knots with gusts that blew me off my board even when on my knees and torrential rains. The power was out at home. There were about 12 of us out at the only surfable protected beach. Fantastic to be out in the storm. Caught 10-12 reflected waves off the rock wall at McKenzie beach. Very tight takeoff and quite a bit of board to board contact but great vibe and everyone enjoying being out in the storm. There was a thread recently about taking off in big offshore winds and I used every trick I could remember. Thanks guys, great advice. I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat, still am smiling.
