Another day in paradise, head height clean long walls with a surprisingly small crowd for a Saturday 
I'm just about to go and have a look. Its been blowing southerly all morning but has just turned light north east. Not expecting much
It wasn't so good but nice in the water all the same,a little wonky.
Lacey was there,somewhere as he paddled out at a different spot,I bumped into Bigspazz and his dream machine in all its glory 12 foot what a magic looking board.

Good to hear ya broke the drought mate. I know I was frothing after 14 days without a 1/2 decent wave to surf
Right hand double head high peak with the odd big south peak clean up. When the wind dropped and all the guys on longboards hit it (I was on my 8') the sets became harder to snaffle so I paddled to where the Bubble of nothing was really something. Wally lefts with a couple of barrels. Yeeeew!
I wasn't expecting much and got it. Knee to waist high bumps but still got a few so it was better than nothing
So.Surfed out. Yesterday had some nice overhead bowls coming through. Not super glassy, but only the nodeckcrew out lol. We had a blast.
Today was a bit smaller,but was perfect head high and the sets were bigger
Just so much fun. Apologies to Brett the 666 mate
Oh the crowds were crazy,yet most of the peeps were more like.driftwood and did not want any waves....WTF besides the kooks paddling for shoulders,or sitting right in front of you or just bailing their boards
I walked down the length of Manly beach n back this morning with the lady. It was terrible. About 250 people clearly thought different. Days like today remind me why I do not have a board here ! Glad you boys getting some.

Absolutely. Nothing wrong with not expecting much and be happy to be in the water. I grew up in Getaldton which is a windsurfing Mecca for a reason. My bread and butter was 25 knot onshore waist to shoulder high waves. Indeed the onshore would frequently improve the shape by making wedges. 24 years since I last lived there and I can still froth on that.
It's that attitude that keeps people in the water. Too many people lose that inner Stoke and fall away. A friend once told me when I was about 25 how important it was to keep that grom stoke. I still try to now and it's great you are too.
Any surf is better than no surf.

Yeah that's true. Surfing junk like you did in Geraldton must have been good for your reflexes. It's pretty rare that once I'm there I won't go out . Driving back home without having a surf is a bummer .

Ha!!! Don't be fooled, there are great waves up that way, Drips just been spoilt the last 15 years or so wit one of the few places in Oz that compares to Hawaii 
Totally agree on the keeping the stoke though, thats what a versatile quiver with 666'ers or 12'2 Logs for the micro days
Yeah often depends on how ya feeling sometimes small n onshore n you have a great surf picking off little peaks n runners other times you can't scratch into anything - ya mental state has a huuuuge influence on how you surf-like when you get a new board doesn't matter if the waves arnt up to scratch the froth meter is up and it's all good
Not as good as yesterday. Swell was a bit straighter, still lotsa good uns to be had. Was also good to start riding the treadly over again
Surf was nice again today sadly I was sh-t
Been finding the new board sluggish in turns,so checked out fin placement back in the carpark,wow how did I set it up like that all good back to where it should have been all along.
heaps better than yesterday.
covers ups on offer.
get that green 9.3 207 mct loves that stuff
Great pic Mac
Thought todays surf was going to be cr@p after checking a couple of places, but then got lucky on the third place. Mainly just fun surfing a different place

I stole that picture from CW which was taken today.To be honest we need a big swell to lose some sand its too shallow for longboarding.What is now full tide is like low tide and our lows are low with super steep take offs and its a race type wave,not the cruise wave we normally have.

I was on the devil shorty mac.....but come on lacey has been out on his longboard getting tubed. It shows how soft I am,but one that I got smashed on, well after the third time it put me in the sand I was not having fun
I can only dream of barrel opportunities 99% of the time
Sounds like you need to borrow one of Chrispy's SB's Mac. Something with a bit of width for paddling & some rocker to keep the sand from between your teeth
Really nice day today. Surf cleaned up, nice & clean but still a bit dodgy in swell direction. Just sat deep & caught the middle size ones coz they were running through better than the sets which were mainly shutting down. Took out the log & pulled off my first hard cutty foam rebound while switchfoot, felt really good
Cool Mike have you seen or anybody heard from the PUP?
Pup and Asea have gone missing in action at the same time or are they one

Couple of people have commented down the beach too...no ones seen him. Think he's flat out with tieing up the loose ends he has here before bailing to the Goldy. Maybe he's sold the house & franticly packing up his gear. Last time I saw him he said he still had a sh1t load of stuff to sort out & he was aiming to be over there by the end of this year which is almost over...already!

lol...well there's only so much you can do on a 10 foot log with a 10 inch hatchet fin & being 24 inches wide. I can't nose ride, so switch footing seems like the go 
some chunky,funky and wonky waves on the beaches today....got some good ones,and got smoked as well
Nice work Mick. Still no surf for me. The beach out in front has been terrible the last few days but still seems to score at least a 3 or 4 every day on the surf report sites. I have been spending my mornings doing the early morning laps of the beach with the chick. Hitting the pavement. Far out its been a bloody long time. Enjoying it so much though I brought myself some new runners yesterday arvo. Already had two quick trips in them down the promenade. They are unreal.
