Man it sucks here. I went for a boat ride so i only had to share small lumpy waves with four other sups. Still, at least we dont live in adelaide.

Adelaide sucks sometimes, just like all other spots around oz, we get big crowds at times on the southern metro beaches, but if you keep on it, windows of opportunity arise.
Two saturdays in the last month I have supped one of our local spots with shoulder high consistant waves and no one else out.
The net is great because it provides one snapshot of local conditions in the morning and people rely on that.
I look at Snapper web cam sometimes and rejoice my Adelaide crap
Its OK Dr, I was just seeing what sort of response I would get from the Adelaide comment. Im sure its a great spot to live. We're all pretty damn lucky to live in Australia I reckon. If crowded surf is tue worst thing we have to deal with, I'll take it.
ps. We've always got the fallback of travelling half an hour to Middleton on the south coast. (Voted in Track's top 10 softest waves)

sorry to hear that andrew. i was out at the alley at about 9. saw a few of the crew out there. i heard complaints about being caught inside,how rough it was and the long sweepy paddle back
i had the 14' er out. i was worried about the board a bit, but i got a heap of waves quickly. a couple of waves the front was banging up and down a bit, but other than that it was business as usual.

i was told it was a bit chunckier today and just wrong suggested probably not a good idea on the 14', i might end up with 2 7' boards.
anyway, back to the circus
cheers

Southern coast of WA at the moment 1 to occassionally 3 Sups if youre lucky on a beach/ break/day. Why? population, weather or potential top of the food chain might just drop in. Often your the only one out! sometimes apart from some surfers. Must enter this in the lonely planet. Trust me its More fun with a couple of Suppers but tooo manys a crowd. No circus down here where are the clowns!!!

Chill out 270 degrees. The lonely planet thing was just a statement of how rare to see another SUP out on the water here as if!. If you were from down my way you would knowThe main reason Sups are rare down here, it is the total lack of good wave days rare as hens teeth. Yes you get waves but if you like beach breaks that close out the full length of the beeches and a demolition session is not what I call crowd attracting. I have to travel 350-500 Kms to find good waves to SUP on. I envy waves that Dogmans vids contain. Never seen days like that here. Planning my next long drive for some good waves. Oh for good waves
