Couldn't complain about our fav yesterday. Both reef breaks working, even an A frame with a few barrels for the boogers on the beachie 150mtrs away. Beautiful sunshine, and a couple of dolphins for the right mood. A few crew, but they managed to spread out a bit because everything was working.. Even the non locals were friendly yesterday..
What a difference a day makes... today was very average. Went back in after 2 waves to get the mal and still only got a handful. Wind and backwash were killing what could have been a good bank... 3/10.

Was really fun wasn't it! Early was a bit more consistent and solid but even as I left a few good ones were coming through. Good vibe in the water always help make a session special as well.
Snapped a new board in half while surfing a messy Metro Beachie on Sat morning :(
Whats the go with broken boards anyway, is there anyone local that will fix it and donate to disadvantaged kids or similar? I'd rather see some grom get a free board to bash about on than simply chuck it in the bin.

Bugger! But good question. I know I would've been stoked as a grom to have had a decent (even if once halved) board to thrash. I wish my groms would show some stoke...
<div>I can't compete with that, but glad I waited for the arvo sesh: The wind and crowd backed off and I managed to score 'that wave' that makes you smile for a long while afterwards...
Checked out a couple of beach breaks at first light and it was pretty ugly. Spent 30 minutes watching a few different spots and didn't see much at all come through.
Was a 15-20 knot SW'er until 5am when it turned to a very light offshore.
Oh I had no board, the kids with me, and they wanted ice cream.. Yeah great you want ice cream I want to go for a surf. What do you mean I'm a meanie...... No no you can't have ice cream.. Why not? ... It's international no ice cream day that's why sweetheart.
