Had a ripper session at scarbs this am - the winter banks have arrived after a good savaging from a strong frontal system.

scarbs -with less than 1.7m swell at rotto absolutely goes off - as long as there are gutters. Any more than 1.7m of swelll and i grab the surfboard and go barrell hunting.

Today it was marginal with some shortboarders getting some good uns but a little lacking in power as the swell was slowly on the fade - the 11'2 Starboard loved it. Definitley got tons of long rides with speed - and some reos too.

i COULD have taken heaps of weaves off the pack - but i was making sure that no one felt like they were being taken advantage - we have to be SUPER CONSIDERATE of other users - i was already getting some pretty funky looks just by being out there.

The cool thing is that the SUP still rocks at Scarbs when there is as little as 0.7m swell at rotto -had plenty of ripper days in summer in these sort of conditions- its pretty rare that it gets smaller than that - i'm gonna get so many days in this winter - stoked!

forecast for tomorrow the 30th and the day after looks surreal. i know the winds there but its dying out beyond chop by the arvo south west region. i'm sure all eyes have been peeled to it since appeared of the west coast over the last 4 days.lets hope it gets big enough for some of the infamous novelty waves around WA.yes.....cables? never seen it, but heard it needs a big swell. bunkers around to dunsborough has some great waves when its big and it all comes together(wind,swell direction and huey). busselton jetty? heard about it, not convinced.
get amongst it!
