Wish I'd had a lobby on me in retrospect, would've been worth $20 to sit in airconditioned comfort with a coldie whilst those boobies massaged the Landy.

angry little men on boogie boards challenging others to fights on the beach.

haha, it's quite nice on occasions like this not to have to work. got down at 9.30, still not great waves, but better than we've had recently. i was slightly further down from the point for a few hours. seems the unwritten rules have specifically changed for the point.

You either:
1). Drop in on someone and then check behind to see if they're still there. If they are, do a half assed attempt at bailing - almost wiping out the other guy anyway. Meanwhile the wave has run off into the distance either way.

2). Drop in on someone, but don't check behind. Keep on pumping, just trying to avoid the noses of oncoming potential dropper inners boards.

Just my observations.

waiting patiently in the lineup for the last hour

no one waits matey. it's the one furthest out on the shoulder that rides the wave to the end (what little end there is left). which is usually a closeout...

or am i being a little harsh?

i actually don't think i am. for this time of year anyway. at the beginning of my session, there were three body boarders to my right (when facing the beach). i caught a right hander (in their direction). the two of them see me coming and third one doesn't seem to/doesn't want to. the two of them actively urge him not to go in the fear of him getting a plank of fibreglass to the head. he goes anyway. the wave goes for about 5 metres before petering out. the entire time i'm there on his heels. no chance he couldn't tell i was there. wave ends, i paddle back up to where i was with not a word from him. cheeky d*ck. lucky i'm a tolerant guy.

A few weeks back i jumped onto a Boogers back. Not whole body just arms and torso onto him as he dropped in on me after i'd been going for a while already..Im not sure who got the bigger shock. Him or his mates I just laughed it off and said haha caught ya Paddled back out laughing and it didn't happen again. To be far for this guy he was new and it was a genuine mistake but everyone saw it and got the hint

I havnt surfed for a week so even a bit of agro in the water would be nice

^^^^ Good on you Thommo.

Don't know what the red was for but I greened it.

^^^
G'day Legion - it was very small - cos I decided it was not worth going 3/4 way to the bikini wash destination... and metro was snorkelling conditions. I know cos I opted to spend most of the day studying instead...

Just a heads up to any kiters, windsurfers, sups, divers, surfers and anyone else.

The last couple of days there's been a big white pointer (17') spotted feeding of the Bowes River mouth and some crew fishing in a runabout hooked one (accidentally) the same size just up the track off Horrocks and got towed around for a while. I don't know if this sighting has been reported. I've just heard it from a reliable source. So keep an eye out.

Geez that's a bit freaky Thommo, seems to be a bit out of it's range for this time of year. In saying that I do reckon water temps have dropped a bit over the last couple of weeks. I'm getting a bit sick of these damn things, even the "safe" months are farked now.

Getting plenty.

Hey Suba,
While the debate rages of east vs west and we all reminisce of the good old days when we were 4ft tall and the waves appeared massive everywhere in WA...You're actually getting some... good for you mate. Enjoy

Yep. Island hopping through Indo for the past couple weeks for work, so can't complain. Waves have been so consistent and a few days of almost double overhead.

Hopefully get a short edited video together soon.

Looks fun Suba.

4' today where I was. 20kt offshore followed by calm followed by a light onshore. Lots of people though.
