Good to catch up again Ted and bad luck about the banks out there today. Definitely look at getting up to Plomer mid year . hopefully get a few QLD crew along as well.
Looking forward to pics of your longboard.

surf reporters pfffffffft. 1 ft off glass,bit hard on the shorty but still managed a few fun shories

yes u sd have come down - crowds very good until abt 8am - can not wait for the holidays 2 finish!!!!!

perfect little marley...it was screaming i love you chrispy...and i felt the same.
3-4ft pretty big sweep. i caught 7 waves and i will remember 4..i will take the camera tomorrow and get asea to take pics

i must get healthy and fitter so i can surf for longer.

Has no one been surfing?

Haven't been in the water since I started the new job, was to busy last weekend and this weekend is looking crappy.. Two weeks tomorrow since I've been wet, feels like months.

I am trying out a new lens over the next few days - very similar to Big Spazz's one - so if that goes well I will be zooming in big time - the 200 just doesn't cut it so looking at getting a 500mm! With the 1.6 sensor thats effectively a 800mm lens on a full frame camera.

Surfing Halls Point near Burnie yesterday . Water still a bit fresh around the 12.5 degrees .
Was having great fun 3 to 4 foot swell rolling in until the wind swung to the southwest . looking good here for some action next week .
Sorry bout the ugly dial on the prick that jumped in the picture

Good pick up Pup I will adjust the camera so the Goddard stands out next surf

wish i had my board today. from marcus beach up had some beautiful banks going.
made me happy and sad all at one moment

tas...want to give a performance review on the new goddard

Top stuff, gee that bloke in gath is a tube hunter... Isn't he the same bloke from a few pages back?

Yep....he can fit into one anywhere! Has a real eye /feel for the barrel. Nice bloke as well.

Hey Tassie - certainly looks cold down yr way still...I was in Boardies and wetsuit top this arvo how's that new board going? Looks lovely.

Chrispy and Ted new board is going real good . The difference between the Nimbus and the old board is huuuuge .

Still cold in the water here Ted but not so bad out of it now .about the coldest surf for the year was with BB a few weeks back when we had a sleet blowing in our faces I hear there is a heat wave in Qld this weekend , hasn't arrived here as yet .

SMH have the back half of the board waxed up pretty well . Have learnt the hard way ( face plant ) that need to wax the front of the board as well to get up to the nose .

was so suprised that the dog walkers were not all old kooks as it was in the water

Yep from what I've heard the Alley is a retirement village on water,you know the type that require a walking stick kind of like those things I'm not sure what they are called but they ride boards and use a paddle,I think its because they can't pop anymore,oh the model term is stand up paddle pop boarding.
