Back in the water last week after a period of losing my mojo .
Down here it's that time of the year when the cold fronts rolling through bring a good swell with them - big front hitting today again -
these pics are from my 1st time back out for a bit - Friday


Out of interest how long did you lose your mojo?

been about a month out mate -or just a short surf before losing interest for about 2-3 months - longest period out for at least 10 years for me
The fitness was a struggle but it was fun to catch a few waves again .
a few pics of the local board riders comp here this afternoon - Devonport river mouth






I went out today in some very weak dribble . Got a couple but it really wasn't worth getting wet . It's supposed to get up in size over the next few days so fingers crossed

Managed to get in 2 hours out the front here Friday - good fun .
No surf Saturday - 4 meter white pointer chased 3 boogie boarders out of the water so decided to give it a miss
Today flat ![]()

My last surf for the winter Sunday - ****ing cold - 1 st surf for the year in the hooded vest / sharkskin booties - still suffered the numb toes for about 2 hours after .
1 st surf of spring last night - water already feeling about 10 degrees warmer ![]()

Have had a few surfs but the banks have been pretty bad. Had a few decent swells and hoped it might shift some sand around to form good banks but it's been ordinary ![]()

Surfed greenmount unfortunately I took the wrong board out still nice in hope ya well mate
Surfed this morning at Burleigh - around 2nd and 3rd ave. Had an absolutely cracker of a session. One of my best this year, I reckon. Mind you, I did take the 12' Munoz out, so that always helps.

Yeah all good Mac . Taking the wrong board can be a bummer . Lucky it only takes five minutes to get back home to switch

Got some nice little waves today . My first day in rashie and boardies but still a bit chilly . Been surfing a bit but the banks haven't been great ![]()
Got out yesterday and some good overhead sets but a bit windy . Went out earlier this morning to find it smaller and low tide but as the tide came it it picked up a little and got better . Pretty happy with that ![]()

Cheers Mac . Tiny today so I caught up on some work around the house . Got a new barge coming but am told it won't be here until later November . It's a Bonza set up in it so it should feel different. You've been getting keen again , are you still on the McT's ? Got anything on order ?

Still on the Mc's mate however there is a 7 month wait on custom boards.I've got no idea how that happened. Devil winds here atm,so unlikely to get wet this weekend,but who knows![]()

That's a huge wait for a board . This lockdown /pandemic stuff has changed so many things .
Been crap here for days but I went for a look early this morning and it looked like it was getting better so I went home and got my board and stuff and went out . It got better as the tide dropped and picked up a bit so it was worth it ![]()

Good stuff mate.
Bigger today with some infrequent overhead sets but big crowd as well . Sat outside and just waited for the bigger ones . It was worth it . I can't imagine what the holiday crowds are going to be like next month . I'll just have to pick my times to go out
Birubi yesterday, small clean lefts
I used to surf there a bit years ago . It's got a real Sharky feel about it . Gets good though
More onshore dribble today . Not worth it . Heading out west tomorrow to fish and hike and relax for a week . Got another week off after that so hopefully will get some waves then and hopefully my new board might arrive

Some days are more Sharky than others.
