I woke early and checked the buoys - still showing great size and 12 second plus period and the winds were looking favourable. I loaded the car and was on the road by just after 5am. Dropped the GF (now fiancé ahhhh) at Kingsford Smith and bolted down the highway. First glimpse of the ocean from the Bulli pass lookout and I was pretty stoked. Although it looked like there was a lot more east in the swell.
I wanted to race down the hill but was stuck behind 3 trucks....it was painful! The first wave I see and this bloke on the yellow longboard was dominating. He got loads all morning. There were lots of blokes ripping. It was difficult to take shots as I was looking straight into the sun and did not want to go for a walk for a better view as I was keen to get out there.
It was a fair size when the sets rolled in.
Yellow man crabs another one.
It was pretty hollow at the end of the first section / start of the 2nd take off spot.
After a feed at the local cafe (Toasted BLT and a can of coke) I wandered around for a look from the park.
After 2 long surfs and lots of paddling (lots of water moving, long rides and lots of rides) I had rashes from my old rashie causing me grief so it was time to head back to the big smoke via the coastal route. There is some amazing scenery and dramatic landscapes and I always love the run across the new bridge at Coal Cliff.
I couldn't help myself though and found this left on the way home that I just had to paddle out as there were only 2 blokes out. I did not last long though.
