Geez-Louise; that's doubly keen! When I did 7am starts I had the board in the car looking for the 3:30pm wave... then there's no rush... Granted, 90% of the time it was on-shore...

Oh well - I appreciate your daily reports even if I am not going to get down there...

got down to a section of trigg at bout 8am to see some guy getting shacked on a very nice hollow wave as i got to the shoreline. that is enough to get any surfer super stoked, so i bolted into the lineup. wasn't as good as that for much of the session, but there were some nice (short) hollow waves around if you were patient.

the wind went cross-shore at about 9.30, so that cut a fun session short.

Looks like a glassy morning with waves a bit smaller along the stretch. Worth the paddle out unless you're like me and did your knee yesterday. Fingers crossed physio says I haven't done anything major!

Good luck! I've not enjoyed being out of the water the last few weeks.

How good was this morning! Very few out and a light offshore with a two and a half metre rising swell. There were some bombs coming through at Trigg, head and a half on the sets and really clean.

Couldn't be bothered with the extra drive so jumped in at Mulla. But shallow and duck diving ripped out my rear fin

Won't be ready till next weekend either..

Big bloody seal was hanging around me and another guy giving us the sh-ts too. When they sit about a meter from you and dive in at you under the water **** those front dog teeth look big

I had been running the winged fin in the tail and when i hit bottom it just plain ripped out. I was still palying around and starting to get back into it and really can't work out what i want in a board ATM

Sorry to see that you've busted your board JB... was there any banks there? How was the northern end? Weed?

Yeah - I'd probably just head to Katana and look at his S/H rack and buy something... I HATE waiting for board repairs so mostly do my own - but I'd have that one done properly.

The Point had weed and the rest wasn't that bad. Actually the bombie was breaking occasionally so was fun. Fair bit of back wash and the old two step waves that piss me of but, a little fun. Mostly the bigger ones just dropped so take and and get swallowed Oh and shallow

Nah it was just a indo winged fin. Actually i did like what it did to the board. I had it in at Trigg on Monday morning and i found it gave me more pace( i think ) and the board moved rail to rail better. (May have just been bigger waves than Mulla) But i was enjoying it.

This morning i found of the bottom and trying to snap of the top a little harder and i got the feeling it was never gone a happen but i'm not sure if that's the board, the fin or me

I will grab my old Rusty board. Its 6'6" and a lot thinner so paddling will be not as much fun but it used to fly for me. (when 20 kilos lighter) Big night for me tonight but maybe tomorrow morning. I am keen to progress but finding board choice just too hard. There's way more choice these days and i think i will maybe get one built. My board is at Ocean line and they seem good. Will see how the repair works out.

Never heard of the Indo winged fin, is it like the red tip? Or is it more like the winged fin/keel set up like Horans boards?

Yeah - it can 'double face' there badly when shallow - and can really bugger up your wave count some days... and I've been ground into the sand a couple of times there... even up at the point it can get very shallow...

...bloody weed - I'm sick of it!

I went for a quick flick off the rocks at Cott for some herring or skippy...saw decent waves so grabbed the board instead. Sun was down though so didn't stay in too long. Warm water though

Well I must be getting old and picky...

Drove from north Mullaloo to Port beach and back stopping at various places along the way... lots of rips, backwash, exposed reef and WEED!

If you were 13yo grom Leighton had a small clean waist high wave... too much of a close-out for me to bother...

I hear you Doggie! Physio's given me the all clear (seems like I heal fast ) but I've given myself the extra day just in case. Either way, see you all out there in swell or not tomorrow although today looked alright from the cams hey!
