yeah i am with you on this one....I like to stay out of the steamer till the end of May as a general rule.....not sure after the last 24hrs of weather though. The water temp is still very warm here but maybe the early morning surfs may get hit my the chilli offshore....hope not.

I grew up in NZ then spent a while in Europe....I know what cold is.....and now I have acclimatised I never want to feel it again

Half your luck Ted , brrrrrrrrrr .

Wife put on the heater tonight. What, it's 15 degrees not 5! I'm still in boardies and a rashie.
Funny thing is she is from Canberra but is now a fully acclimatised to Perth.

Oh well, bring on the winter swells I say.

I am with you on the fire Stuk , guess you are same as me ,get to go and collect the wood , stack the wood and light the fire , We lit ours up about 2 weeks ago .

Steamer I plugged in the heated vest this morning for the 1st time this winter

Dragged out the good 4/3 steamer yesterday, nice and toastie, hopefully I can get away without the booties for a few more weeks, got caught putting all the summer wetsuits throught he washing machine before they get packed away for the winter, I can't see what harm the salt water does to it, I'm the one that pays to get it fixed so I can't see her problem.

Doing the annual mullet beach netting caper. About this time last year I was sitting out in the water at Crowdy Head when they brought all the gear down onto the beach and started taking the nets out, I was out of there quick smart.
