Dunno about that. I just took the kids to the park at Sumner, sat there for an hour and a half in the sun, watching a perfect 2/3 foot peak breaking at Scarborough, with two guys on it, got home, board in the car, got back down there, and the wind's gone onshore :cry:

Maybe it'll glass off this evening.

There's someone towing in on the bar too. It's barrelling perfectly. Bit of a mission to paddle out there though.

was wondering, does the warranty start from when u get your original suit or the new replacement(thus enabling you to keep on replacing your suit for free)

I've got lifetime warranty on all the stitching and 12 month on the materials on my suit! I only bought mine last week though so maybe they've changed the policy.

yesterday was 2ft & clean aparently, spent all day in the garden with a chainsaw...

Went to Cheesman saturday with Hang11, one of the club fields up towards Arthurs pass.

Doesnt get big often in Christchurch, a bit of local travel and you can usualy pick up some better swell.

Mt Cheeseman on Sunday, we hiked the summit. Some really nice powder. And packed :lol:

Summer/Autumn is usually a better time of year for waves in Christchurch, in winter the swells are mainly from the South, and Christchurch is in the shadow of the Banks Peninsula for those. Summer tends to be more Easterly or North Easterly swells.
