It's been a very good week and finished it with a nice surf at Invys Ozone St . Nice number of SUPs on the water mixed in with the surfers. Even let them have a few waves

After the Easter crowds. Long cruisey waves along side a National Park

Cunjarong Point. Nice and glassy 1-2 footers

Makorori Point......biggish......lumpy and bumpy and sloppy
thought i did okay on my sunova 9'2 today. Kneeling or sitting most of the time....but being a "stand up guy" when paddling for a wave......is a difference between the 9'5 and the 9'2

Very nice in Beaumaris Bay

Quick one Half Moon Bay and north.

Nothing for me today.
Raining, windy, bit of an issue with the board.

ouch!
hope you get insurance claim on that?
and get a shaper to reshape into a 14ft maybe?

I hope you have a good story about how that happened, you know a 3m shark took a bite at me, or a Croc hit me with its tail????

Nope, just stupidity.
Paddled the morning at Black Rock, quick and rushed.
Put the board on the roof, saw a nice picture opportunity.


Took the photo, public holiday, dad with a young kid was admiring the board.
Spoke to him, packed up, and drove off.
Went Black Rock to Dingley, then Springvale Road to Frankston Freeway.
Freeway 100km/h to Golf Links Road, Baxter - Tooradin Road 100km/h.
Board left the roof out of Pearcedale.
Well. 7/8ths of it did.
Back tie down held, snapped the board and steering wires.
Glad I didn't kill someone.
Put the remaining bit of the board in the car, went back, retrieved the rest.
Couldn't understand where the tie down had gone if it broke - searched on foot 500m back, drove back a couple of km and gave up.
Found the tie down in the back of the car the next morning, rolled up neatly.
Don't get distracted when packing up, and don't rush!
But I'm improving - last time I lost all of a board off the roof, this time only 7/8ths.
And I found it.

Well on the up side at least you have other boards to use???

Finally got out for a land paddle after days of crappy weather.

Eagles Nest for 3.5 hrs, a bit full at times but managed to cut some good ones out from the herd

Beaumaris hiding from the wind.
