I thought we would have got decent waves in perth, I didnt get my entry in for the state round longboarding at Yalls in time and all spots were filled with wife saying why am i not organised. They had yalls at 6-8 all day sunday for the comp and by all accounts it was an epic event
I hoped to surf local and was put off by the lack of size and excessive crowd.
I mowed the lawn

I have a brand new 6,4 cymatic to ride and all i want to do is ride it.

My life is a joke cannot wait for winter

Today looks fun especially as im working

Today was fun, would've been funnerer if people had jobs....

it was a circus and a zoo yesterday at Perth's next favourite reef break out of town a little bit today it was just a circus.....what is with drop ins and snaking ?????? (Cars parked all the way down the track, second car park full, double parking)

even had A Porsche Cayenne in the car park with what looked like Yakuza members hooting and frothing for a wave.

anyhoooo Thanks Huey, you are back on my Chrissie card list

Sounds Hectic Mocha, I went for a quick onshore bash at Scabs and got a few walls and closeout barrels on the softy again, not as good as Friday but with just me and a mate on a little peak it was as good as we were going to get.

That forecast skunked a lot of people.

Pumped all day. Sunrise to sunset. Started on the 4'10 surf foil, then the 9'6 circus escaper, stopped for lunch, back on the foil and 5m wing ding and to finish it off with some more hair raising bombs on the 5m pole dancer. Every muscle stretched and sore. No skunks here.

Some good waves around today.
even saw a video of one with shape at Scarborough

Well played!

How good was yesterday?

I went an hour plus North on Saturday and was pretty happy with my 2.5hrs in the water... bit shifty and still too much weed, but got some decent sized peaks and shoulder-head high walls. My arms were shot so I could not back it up on Sunday

Checking conditions on the cam just now, and it's puss. So, I'm spying on the only 2 guys that I can see, 2 guys on the whole strip, on foils, battling it out in said puss. Anyway, one foiler has caught some thing, and is less than 15m from his mate, when one of the only two kiters decides that he has to ride between them... On the whole. Empty. Coast.

Bloody kiters.

Anyone do LBB today? Thinking might bring the Mrs and Dog tomorrow but looks like there is a LOT of weed on the beach on the North side...

Did two weeks down south leading up to Easter
it was epic couple flat days couple big days and magic days.
for me the jewel in the crown was surfing a normally heavily crowded wave just me and a mate head and a half.
couldn't believe it we surfed for three hours awaiting someone to come and no one ever did just trading set wave after set wave.

first real waves on the new cymatic, sick board turns on a dime and rides the tube well.

on the smaller days we walked in to a couple beaches I hadn't surfed in over ten years still as good as when I was a kid

PPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT

Yeah, I saw the cams down there and was shocked at how Greenroom and the crowd were nowhere to be seen. Lucky you.

Please please don't name these joints if you know them

glass off super session soo many waist to head runners

me and me mate scored the below joint solo for hours and hours after we came in two humans high fived us in the car park and this is them paddling out for changing of the guard.
I was eating my car warmed ham and salad roll enjoying the moment and snapped this as we were bailing


So this one was taken off the missy drone the dj magic mini it was like 1200 bucks for the drone and kept her happy for hours and hours
got some really cool video but to avoid being hung drawn and quartered by my mates down there a still is all I'm going to throw up.
that's me bottom turning like the big boy I am nowadays 150-200 metre runners over sand bit crowded with five people
board being ridden is an 8 foot invisible man by hot buttered so whilst technically not a short board when you weigh in over 100kg it is.....
the day after this was double the size here and barreling like an absolute freight train.
apparently the wife did not want to visit the same beach for four hours again the next day so there is no recordable evidence to share but let's just say **** got real...
putting an 8 foot board into a double head barrel is a thrill all surfers should reward themselves with


So this disgusting piggery of glassy conditions carried on for two weeks there are more pics of sensitive locations I will not share but those pics are for me to hang on the wall and remember as I grow older and need to fend of dementia and Alzheimer's I hope that regularly glancing at them will assist with keeping me switched on.

There was also a long board comp held at yalls I went in which was absolutely fantastic as always run by Indian Ocean longboard club and a fantastic day all round

A couple bbqs a trip to Aravina estate to walk the museum of surfing and a few bottles of good vino

seen a dude absolutely blow minds acoustic set at caves
took the kids fishing and scored a sneaky little wedge at smiths on one of the three windy days

Rode the cymatic at a ridiculously sized wave off the cliffs and landed the first air in about 3.82 years not that I'm counting. Like a seal jumping out of the water someone even hooted but they may of been coughing hard to tell from a distance. Anyway I know how I'll choose to remember it.
I did also have a very very good flogging at said reefbreak trying to do a hero snap on my backhand and coming unstuck copping half a dozen on the head, quite humbling and I was a little less cocky the rest of that session which I think there is a lesson for all of us.
land one air and think your Tom Carroll doing the snap at pipeline well your wrong, very wrong mate let me tell you.

Id like to also make a point that at dunsborough bakery it is worth spending the extra 1-2 bucks and getting the upgraded ham and salad roll
it's called the extra or special or something and you get a crusty bread roll and proper shaved leg ham.
If you want real fine dining down south than that's where you go

The only real low point of the trip was coming home to go back to work.

I'll try put some shots up off the missys drone as we found dolphins frolicking and stingrays and it was pretty cool indeed

Also we caught a 10kg dhuie off the rocks one night which was pretty cool too.

Huey you star
Great waves today and very small crowd, peak to ourselves mostly.
3hours of joy, still seeing unreal waves on the drive out.
good way to finish the holidays.

Had a lunch time metro surf today. By myself. God, it was awful.

Another lunch time metro surf. Onshore small slop. At least this fellow caught something worth showing.....

He not the first predator to hang out in those sand dunes.

Been a good week around the local beachies small but surfable

Good little kick in the swell and offshore, crisp wind. Found the odd one with racing shape to it

Don't know where you blokes were surfing... but today Trigg 2nd/3rd was average at best... pitchy shoulder high lefts running into a rip... got two chest high rights off the rip that held up that were OK?sh... Crowd was down with the long w/e which was good.

I'm with you GPA. I knew I had missed the best of it today, but I got down for a grovel after the hoards had had their fill and it is up there for the worst of the year, and the contenders are strong.

It's been the worst year for metro surf since I started surfing in 1981! It has been straight and shapeless for months on end... I've lost my froth over the continued poor conditions... started doing a bit more swimming and MTB?ng to keep fit...

Imagine the crowds when it does finally come good?!!

Ive heard on the grape vine there is a fabled north swell approaching. Ask and it will be provided stay quiet and wishes fall on deaf ears.

So did the road trip south on the weekend. Had a blast, it was nice to be in water with a consequence... Crowds were fine, fairly mellow. Got some good ones. Got smashed into some rocks. All in all, well worth the effort.

Anyone get any waves today?

Scabs looked good on the camera ... with the north swell!

The word was that it was indeed good, but only in a limited are. Yeah, The other Point is how it's now known.

Had some fun ones this arvo! Not quite a point break, but definitely some long runners by Perth beachies standards! But maybe I've forgotten what a wave with shape looks like?

Been getting any?

This week has been fun, not all time but I've surfed 6 out of the last 7 days.
