Seacliff was good. 5.3m with great waves - peaking at mid tide. Little bit gusty.

Was a bit 'kiteboarded out' tho...

Geoff stop telling lies, i was out there with you, it was gusty **** with seaweed everywhere and too much tide for the swell to break on the reef properly if at all.
Your turning this site into a house of lies.

Funny......wasn't big Tuesday, 2 to 3ft down south with 15 to 25knts cross shore.
But great fun. Two boys where ripping CJ and DZ , it was great to see, pushing harder and harder.
It was a great day

Snaps was pretty good fun late arvo on Tuesday but even there the tide was hitting the sandhills.

This morning was a OK at mid Kim - a few nice squalls and the odd shoulder high set to bare away - you didn't miss much though.

Certainly windier than the Noarlunga OBS were showing though.

Local footy match was brutal, great to watch and walk away with a win!

No lies - I had a good sail with the 5.3m. Minor weed, decent waves. Yes - it did gust up and down a little, but overall nicely powered. Evidence is available through readings for Tuesday...

Any other witnesses now please come forward!

Now Saturday - what crap. Sailed with 5.8 and big board, occassionally one the plane. Flat.

P.S. You got on the water as I was finishing - and I saw you get some loops. Not bad if it was crap?

It was a day when fully powered the weed was not a problem, when underpowered weed was a problem.

Maybe you just had too much weed?

It was an awesome day! !
Better than any onshore stuff served up on the metro. But hey whatever floats your board.

Like Ty said everyone was ripping, even the surfing crew had a few things to say.
Aways great to c those guys braving the 30kts cross shore conditions. Hahaha
