Up early first one in at 5 ish and got some sweet waist to shoulders when they came through mostly smaller but the forecast was for jacks so I am stoked .... big thanks to Smicko our wave sage for predicting joy

watching the local boy win the surfest in Newcastle , makes it look too easy!

Got tired of trying to address the selection criteria in an employment application, browsed the board ads online and went out and grabbed this well-loved 9'2 x 22" x 2.75" fun machine :

Nice work Wavey ..... hope ya get amongst it - looks the shizz

Thanks Pup and SMH and Mac.
The board's a bit like me, better from a distance, bit rough up close.
But it's from a good local shaper (Peter White) and I have an egg shaped by him, plus i have an 8'1 McT Carver. And they are all yellow so I will try to set up a quiver shot later in the week (have just lied on the job app about my photographic ability, so it will be handy to get some practice. ). There's also a 7'2 mid-length but it's brown and green (the choc-mint paddlepop). Oh - and a 10'6 Nalu 666. (Yellow, of course!)

Whilst at races yesterday we were debating how much Souths would win by. One of the boys mentioned Josh Dugan as a real danger man. One of the other blokes said what do you mean - you think tampon will have that much influence? I said - tampon? What does that mean? He goes - simple - in for one week out for 3 - 12 blokes spat their beer out in laughter !! And then he goes and gets injured a few hours later. Gold.

GOLD Ted

Yep good one but an old one . We had a guy at work called that,he was only in for a week or two

Knew a bloke once who's Nic was "cardboard", when I asked someone was he called cardboard because he has such an expressionless face I was told

" No, it's because he fills all the rust holes on his crappy car with cardboard and then covers it in filler, but now that you mention it, he does have an expressionless face"

Do you have a secret spot on the Coast? I went everywhere, couldn't find anything descent!! Must be me.
Well done for jaggin it!!

Macaha said..

Huge thumbs up to the text message I just received,over too Simondo

I am all ears Simondo - although if I was to guess I would say it is because your Tracker has arrived safe and sound and you are stoked with it in the flesh

Ted the Kiwi said..

yes it was at a mid week secret spot it was not perfect but a load of fun Hint - you need to walk to this place

Good for you. Sounds like down the south end a bit, although if it was a nor-easter up the north end. Either way nice work to be able to get out mid-week.
My early mid weeks are almost impossible now. After sitting there for 10 mins, this morning, paddled out at 6am. Bit sketchy. Daylight saving gone soon???

Too many to mention today.

But let me see.
Two surfs.
Nice bottle of sac blanc just finished.
Coffee at Macs. No not him a different one.
Carbonara pasta with double smoked ham.
Oh yeah, European backpackers. Hubbard Hubbard.
