great pics mate. i will take some tomoz and you will feel my pain that i am seeing. hey asea, shame your here, cause i noticed some niice lefts mate

dead right whats the name of that place and all you southerners where axactly is Soldiers Beach and whats the surf like there this time of the year

Great shots, that's inspired me to try out a new 15 x zoom I just bought tonight for 99 rocks.

I was walking past the cameras in Target and this kid was removing the "reduced to $189" ticket and replacing it with a $99 ticket.

I picked it up, took a quick look at it, saw it said 16mp & 15 x optical zoom and said to the kid, "you better give me one".

Hope it takes pics as good as those.

That's just a basic digital camera Obct. Nothing too flash. I'll be out tomorrow getting some more shots of some rights. Stay tuned I reckon you guys will like them.

If I tell ya I would have to **** ya.

It was not that flash today to be honest - swell was too straight. Its preferred angle is not NE to East. I shall take some pics for you tom.

asea is that good he can make anything look good.

Soldiers beach is at Norah Head about 1 & 1/2 hrs north of Sydney and an hour south of Newcastle. I surfed it 3 days straight circa 86 so not up to speed with local conditions but I found it an unreal beach break and I think around the corner is Pellicans with goes off as well.

Boardies and rashy if no wind chill ATM

chrispychru said...

i still have some arse cheek left on some rocks there. no not in the water,yes on the slide down the hill

Theres a road down to the beach there now Chrispy. that is one of the reasons it has become more crowded. You can park your car and walk less lan 50 meters and paddle out in the rip next to the rocks without getting your hair wet.
i've lost skin running down that hill as well.

nope - although you may like something for the early one when the wind is from the west.....especially if you are from the north!

Hey Asea - its the closest beach to my house - I am usually there every morning around sun up for the check. When you coming down? I will show ya round if you like.

Ncie pics SMH - pics 6 and 7 remind me of my earlier life where there were lots of sheep and cows. Is that where I think it is?

yeah Ted its the Farm. its no secret and its 2 minutes drive away from me. during Winter midweek around lunch time after the morning crew have gone you can paddle out there in some really nice waves with less than half a dozen out and its pretty reliable banks as well. Im lucky I only work 7 day shifts a month and can surf every other day. I should be back into it in the next 3 months I reckon.

Hey smh, Have you surfed mini pipe much ?

Ive been out a few times more toward the suck hole . Mini Pipe is pretty heavy. on smaller days as you would know its a huge shin deep rock slab with a fast left barrel over it and mostly inhabited by bodyboarders. when its big it breaks right out and is really heavy. It always draws a crowd up on the hill with me being one of them. I'm too old to die.

I surfed it back in 87 (everything happened in the 80's for me but I'm slowly coming back). I went down with a small crew in my mates F100 and we slept overnight in the back of it next to the toilet block in the carpark. I recall dogs or farkin wolves howling all night - didn't catch much sleep. We had it at about 2 1/2 to 3 ft (sorry I missed when the 1/2 over head,etc expressions came in) and I surfed the right more then the left as it was less crowded. I recall a rock would pop up when riding the right and had to keep an eye out for it.
When we drove out of the area we took a wrong turn and drove into a small town nearby. As we drove in I noticed it was populated with aborigines. Everybody in the town stopped what they were doing and just stared at us. 5 white fellas in an F100 it was not the place for. We did a quick u-turn and got the fark out of there.

Nice pics ted is that you sweeping Rains any harder here I be able to SUP the back yard Some of the famliy when to Napier last night 6 1/2 hr trip

I think you you might have mini pipe and Aussie pipe mixed up there Scotty.mini pipe is at Shellharbour and Aussie pipe is down near Jervis Bay.

yep he has them mixed up. summercloud mmmmm

Gregc mentioned that a few months ago as well. I guess different locals have different names for surf spots. Growing up at my local we only spoke about mini pipe at Summercloud Bay past Jervis Bay and wasn't aware of Aussie Pipe at Shellharbour. And living thru the Mad Wax era, mini pipe was spoken about a lot.
