As I rolled into the carpark the chopper was up circling a pack of sharks around bank maccas,three rubber dinghies and two jetskis chancing the pack out to sea,the beach was cleared and most surfers went in,time to hit it and launch Splice,little did most know the sharks were dolphins haha,I was on the headland and could make them out
Here are some photos of the day,oh a guy had a heart attack in the surf,he was being treated for over 30 mins on the beach looked in a bad way.

The splice did everything asked of it today,a perfect all rounder,from cheater fives,lip smacking and I pulled off some get big cutties one would have been the biggest drawn out cuttie I have ever pulled off.





the tide dropped and it got way better 2 to 3 perfect for the launch.

Sweet Mac. That looks nice. Would also look brilliant in Sunset tint.

What is the board a blend of again...? Redline & Fireball ?

Gosh, look at the time, 4:49, Beer O'Clock...! I'm working my way through those 3 slabs of Coopers Pale Ale (Aussie owned Brewery), 150th Special Edition Labels.

It picks up waves easy like today I would have struggled with my UFO so I'm so happy with how it paddles in turns and drives down the line.

Thanks for your kind words,it does look way better in the fresh.
