I finally managed to get in the water at my local once the wind and the swell had cooled off.

It was so good, I decided to share it with 300 of my closest friends.

Somewhere

Photo isn't a set just took 1 for you all

Are you clubbing?

Was today, Was a bit of a last minute decision but got a few. Enough to make the trip worthwhile..

Supposedly yesterday was good up there and not many in the water.

perfect fun surfing conditions this morning. water was a beautiful and crystal clear 20c,2-3ft of waves....well it would have been perfect f they were not all straighthander was very cool to catch up with daneli and danielson oh asea made a special guest appearance
funny thing is, asea turned up this morning sporting a very new and very handsome haircut,ready to film his spot in the movie

Same here, except it was cold and there weren't any straight handlers... .

I was thinking the same thing. I lost circulation in my toes by the time I hit the water and it didn't come back till half hour after I got out. In all honesty it was fun waves but offset by the freezing breeze and cooling water felt like it had dropped a degree or 2.. I only went out to give the new fin a run in the model t, seemed to handle the sometimes head high sets quite easily off the bottom and held in when up the nose so a pass at the moment

This is what I ended up with it 9.5 high and as you can see very wide in the base.

Nice looking fin SP

Very jealous Chrispy water temp here 12 degrees at the moment . Are you in booties SP ? Numb toes aren't fun

Not really, I don't like them. if I'm riding a LB it has to be really cold before I'll put them on, if im riding something shorter i dont mind wearing them, even then I only have some reef booties but most of the time I don't. There is plenty of people around here that do wear them, even the occasional Guy with a hood but our water is not that cold, id guess 16.5-17 today our offshore tend to be cold and thats what gets me.

^^^^horto it was glass mate. up my way northerlies are great anyway. i would be heading out when the tide is rising if you can,otherwise its a gamble. let me know cause im always up for a wave

Still have reef booties from when I was up north . Have only worn them once here in winter sh.t my feet froze . Love my booties when the water temp drops . Still get numb toes after a while but couldn't go out without them

And ****loads warmer than yesterday.....

I thought it was going to be flat but...... Another day of winter goodneess..

not a ripple mate. had a fella try and tell me he was getting waist high beasts...i wished him well and left getting a wave pool in ipswich though now thats scary

Reckon there will be a bit of wave rage in that wave pool

No one been surfing?

Few 2ftrs around this morning, nothing great but a top day here

Love to have got out there but sadly teaching this semester on Tues and Wed mornings.....sucks.

I shall be having a Ted Day on Friday so fingers crossed some swell arrives by then but it looks pretty average sadly.

Hope you have a sports coat with leather patches on the elbows. .

Friday and the weekend is looking ok maybe, hopefully but those horrible words are back, NE windswell.
