I know we need the rain here in Victoria, but give us a break, it just too cold and windy everyday, bring on those warm windless days where supping has a peaceful easy feel'n, I am as mad as hell I can't take it any more!

Maybe you guys should stop sookin about the cold & go for a surf
If you like "A" grade waves the cold is a bonus...keeps the crowds down....yesterday surfed Rincon & Even better Winki had no one out! ....now thats very rare....particularly when there is sholder high sets every now & then.....plus...... sun was out! Probably the fastest down the line sup for me this year
aus301....if you want to sample "A" grade waves....GET OUT THERE!

The forecast for the weekend looks fantastic too. Tuesday could only be described as "freight trains" :)

Rincon mid morning yesterday....after i had my fill & the wind had gone off West a tad. You can see the wind is quite strong out the back, up to 30knts...but in the lee of the cliffs it's almost glassy.
I did get a fright when paddling from Rincon to winki.....a large fin sliced through the water not far off my bow....turned out to be a fat seal on it side, imitating a a shark......they do this just to scare the crap out of us!
But as i was at Winki there was a shark 200m out the back "fishing".....so long as he continued fishing there.....all was good

Heh LSD,
your right, as Maxwell Smart, secret agent 86, used to say "I hope I wasn't out of line about the crack about... " a change of thinking is required, the power of positive thought, not to mention some pretty good photos of uncrowded winter surf, thanks. who needs to pay for therapy when there is this forum!

I agree with Dean, give me cold and no crowds any day. My problem is what most of us suffer....being in the city 9 - 6 or 7pm every day. I need what Brendan suggested the other day, gotta get someone to pay me the same amount to not work.
Hey Simondo, so when is Tuesday the weekend?

I would love to get a paddle in while I am down there, but unfortunately the work schedule is leaving no time at all for play.

Will just have to settle for waiting till Mambo for a paddle with some of the far south crew.

One positive, we have almost reached the "average" rainfall for the month. We should
surpass it by Tuesday. First time in over a year i think!
