Just **** off!!!!

Summers ending and I am getting my paddling ground back. My 10 k out around the islands paddle. Apparently I have to wear a lifejacket now. Probably not a bad idea. Over 300m off shore.
Lots of debris from the flooding.
Sorry for all of you in Melbourne or other places you can't get out on the water.


Sort of downwind last weekend.

Nice one riverider - looks a fun little sesh.
The new board curse struck up here today - not a wave to be had. Tides have been terrible too.
So I took the new Creek out for a stability test and general 'get to know you'-type of paddle.
At 105kgs, the 9'4 Creek is super stable for me.
It sits beautifully 'in' the water, not 'on' it - which adds that dimension of stability - definitely no corkiness at all.
The board paddles surprisingly fast with typical yaw for a performance sup.
I am absolutely hangin' out now for waves. Next weekend is looking promising. I know this thing is gunna get up and boogie.
East Point.

Rock it Oki. Chill vid. And a nice use of the paddlecam.

Epic little summery beachy sesh this morn, handful of crew, good shaped runners.

2 hour surf, done and dusted by 7.30, love the early sunrise!

Bummer about the waves!
On paddling straighter:
Being regular foot, I put my back foot closer to the "toe rail" and "weight" that rail a bit, paddle on the right side.
That really cuts down the yaw.

Looks like you have time to practice it

Another fun one buddy!

Very nice swell and conditions for this time of year. Even a few fun ones up Mandurah way on Thursday.

This morning at first light and plus 7 degrees at Maasvlakte The Netherlands.
all waves were for me as the crowd surfed yesterday afternoon. No wind, light swell 8 sec and between knee and shoulderheight at peak. It was nice with my Gong Fatal 7.7 ??

How was the traffic going to Ventnor today, I opted for Pt Leo, winds were wrong and I was crap but it was good to get wet and see regional Vic again and supported local business by buying lunch.

Lol, well at least you made it and went for a paddle!

Trifecta yesterday

Sunrise paddle in pure glass
a little Creeking
Perfect surf
Sunny and warm, then I washed my van. Perfect

Finally!
Ventnor.

Welcome back to the rock noz ! Theres a few boys that would luv to give that rocket a go ??

After a week of mowing, pruning, whippersnippering, weed spraying, prowling the neighbourhood stealing unattended green bins to fill, a paddle morning!.
Sit down at Ventnor.
Brilliant.
