Sorry guys, probably heard this all before but had my first surf at "The Pass" today an got onto a good one that I rode for at least 60 metres (and thats being conservative) was the best feeling
Got caught a few times in the sweep rip ... I think it's called and I'm buggered now but had to tell someone. Some poor bird is probably telling her mates that some idiot was so happy he nearly kissed her.
Great day indeed.

I watched some footage of the Pass on You Tube the other day including some interesting footage taken from a remote control helicopter.
The wave looked great but the crowd and the drop ins didn't look too good.
Good to hear that you got a buzz out there though Dotcom. Sometimes it only takes one good one to make it all worthwhile.

Yeah, sorry about that mate , a quick trip over to see the young bloke in Townsville. He was dropped from going to Afghanistan with his mates in 2RAR.
Gutted actually, and I had some free time so what's a guy supposed to do but check up on his boy... and sneak in a quick look at Byron. I'm not a "surfer" yet so didn't want look like a dick, if you know what I mean.

On the flipside, I'll be back on July 2 for my grand daughters 1st birthday, so I'll let you know.

Always good to share your enthusiasm....
More people should be happy about getting 1 nice wave at good locations.... but you always get wave pigs who insist on getting all of the set waves, and potentially spoiling it for everyone else !

My guess NO WAY!

He would have taken off behind the rock,but yesterday it was breaking wide,with the angle of the swell.
