A few fun micro waves before someone flicked the switch to off. Good to catch up with a couple of mates I havn't seen for some time & stoked to score one of those funky Wilkes fins off a bloke who wanted a more traditional fin for his log. Give it a go tomorrow hopefully if theres a wave ![]()

Surfed point packed today on the 9,6 crowd clearer.
There is still nowhere near enough sand.
A seal hung around for half an hour dropped in on a couple and generally made mates with the lineup, did a few jumps and some aerobatics than the wind came in and off he went.
there not normally that friendly unless they come in to hide in the pack from bags of teeth,

Had a massive one follow me around at north Scabs a few years a go, friggan scary. Looked like it had just had a feed of mulies ![]()
Epic surf at secret local beachie Sth of trigg nth of scabs...some "waves" ran for phwoarrrr maybe 20m.
at least it was offshore!!
.....for a while, nice in the water
Below pic of today and live there's only about 50 people on it and it's at least knee maybe waist height

Below pic of where I surfed Sunday prior to the Yal Mal. ( photo taken by mick Marlin not me surfing )
suffice to say I'm giving today a miss

Yes - that was just poo... knew it would be small and crowded at Trigg 3rds, but it was really wonky and pitching into 6 inches of water. Only got 5 or 6 on the mal before I gave up..![]()
I could of surfed yesterday, I even tried. But when I looked at the lineup of 40 with multiple drop ins per waist height wave I got my coffee and went home to do gardening. This I believe was more enjoyable than the surf on offer.
At around 7 pm I received two texts from different humans who had surfed down south, I seen head height glass in one text and decent rights in the other. I than attempted to ignore it which was extremely challenging.
my metro reign of terror is over until March
I have cycled an average of 170kms a week over the last couple of weeks BECAUSE THE SURF HAS BEEN POO!
Took a punt out of desperado desperation and coz I have a new board that has not got wet......first choice was poo due to wind....offshore on the road no good on the beach![]()
went into desperado mode and travelled a little further.....was rewarded....sort of.....waist to shoulder high runners 3 guys out 2hours fun b4 wind, pretty gutless but it has been 5+ weeks



It is a virgin no more....TokYo Express is a rocket, can't wait to give it a crack in decent waves![]()
Please describe in detail that board, I like tail, it's pretty pulled in heavy channels???
what size/ litreage
International summer day at trigg is on.
after one of the best winters on record this is a real kick in the scrotum.
get down there , there is no one on it

Out of town would of been decent
Hey Mocha like Razz is there a volume for the new stick as well?
It's sort of based on a V3 Stealth by Mayhem + a mash up of Vons XOVA and Radthorn
6'2 x 20.5 x 2 and a bit!!! Roughly 36/37L
varial foam......expensive!!!!!

Hear good things about the varial foam. Have one in kite i haven't ridden much yet, but will be a tester for whether to include in next 6'2 ish as well
post a report once youve had it out in the waves it's made for ![]()
cheers
Got up at 5:15am with fingers crossed that there was enough of a increase in the swell to justify a desparado drive North on questionable winds... Nope!! For God's sake Huey, give me a break you bastard! ![]()

Would've been "crowded" mate, a few of us desperadoes were doing the same.....#hueyisabastard.
Got a sneaky hour at the usual circus tent this arvo. Must have timed it for the clown tea break. Not a big shoed sole to be seen. Sure the waves were mediocre, but I went with low expectations. Hoots had.
GPA, you scored something, no?
Yew! A 'blow in free' surf on Christmas morning!
Mine started out like that.
Actually, those blow ins were probably locals. I haven't surfed there for quite a while.
I still rate it a 4/10 session. I was grinning like a grom.
P.S. That my board survived unscathed as far as I'm aware, is quite amazing too.

Hey Buster,
I managed a cheeky hour on the mal in so-so conditions yesterday before travelling to see the out-laws for Xmas... was average at best, but nice to break the dry spell and the water was beautiful.
Looking forward us metro surfers are going to have to dial-down the expectations - it Southerly city for the next few days ![]()
