On Sunday before the 6m Hoax Swell (which was actually 3m+ by the time it wrapped in here), it was like 0.5m / 1 foot. I was getting some lovely sliders on the old favorite 9'6 Brewer.

I was running up and down the board, throwing in some cutties. But I remember having my foot planted in the wax, and giving my knee the slightest little twang at some stage. I knew it was nothing, but I was thinking that could have easily been 10 times worse.

I've also got another little slice in my foot from getting off the reef yesterday. I copped a bruise yesterday getting worked a little bit too. Plus my elbows have been getting a work over clutching onto the board in the heavy surf.

But with all of those little "nothing much injuries", I was having a blast today at Winki Lowers on the Yellow Dream Machine. I love that wave, and I love that board!



Then I went home to this...

Does anyone one own a decent water resistant phone ??? Any feedback.
(not 3rd party cases... and not for purposes as a rescue device.... I just want puddle, toilet, splash, and snow resistance!)...

Oliver, can you post your "Let me google that for you link", that was cool !!

Sunday was a funny day... I was very close to hitting the bay, and I know I would have been buddying quote close to DJ, and requesting regrouping. Instead, around 11 I went to Winki with my dog Bennie (the Blonde Labrador), and ended up walking down the stairs right behind Tom Curren, and I snapped a nice shot of Tom and his son Pat getting some nice air.

Since my brother is a big fan of Tom, I got my phone out to call him to come down for a surf, and I dropped the phone on the rocks, and in bounced (like a good Warney Leg Break), right into the only seawater puddle within 10 metres, it was in there for 1 second, and it was enough for a short circuit! Luckily I am almost due for a new phone !
