Yeah, bit gigger than I'm used to 'outback' seemed to paddle alot! Got some nice rides, quite steep faces. Couple of good wipeouts, all learning curve! Lifeboat was out day before pulling out a surfer! Think he was a local too? Photo was classic. look liked he'd been kicked in the nuts! lol!
Went home sunday as it seemed to be strong onshore.
Next surf maybe next weekend possibly sooner (Tuesday if anything out there),

We haven't had any proper snow since 1997. Hoping for a big fat load this year so I can have a decent excuse for not being at work!!!

..just a suggestion bro , my buddies motorbike shop folded and he had heaps of merchandise to get rid of so he put it all on ebay ..sold most in job-lots and got a reasonable margin back on it all. Many traders trawl Ebay looking for 'job lot' deals :D
