Morning crew,

Anyone been for a metro paddle today...?

Did the dawn run at Perth's favourite beachy. It was lumpy early on a pretty low tide, with inco sets closing out pretty much on the shore. There was one bank with a wave, with maybe 15-20 guys on it. Conditions were cleaning up, but muggins here had to go to work.

A pair of SUPwits paddled out around 6:30, went straight to the back of the lineup and proceeded to take off on every set, then repeatedly paddle back out through the middle of the lineup. There was also the trademark ditching of boards, drop-ins and all-round cookery on display. One bloke gave them a spray and they moved down the beach, maybe its time more surfers helped to educate these guys on surf etiquette and taking turns...

Thanks for the report LS... might be a mal session early tomorrow if the swell holds.

Yeah, I cop one blantant infringement, on the second they get a stink eye, third I'll certainly let 'em know they are in the wrong. And I call a wave hog a hog... (or just drop-in!)

Sounds like the fella from last Saturday but he was by himself. Didnt drop in but paddled out though the crowd.

Can I say it was f@&$ing huge yesterday!!!
Smaller today with just me myself and I.
Wish you were all here... NOT!

On our way!

Thanks Zuke - it was OK - just.

Inconsistent shifty waist high waves... thankfully there was some shape, but definitely mal only... I hit the water at 9:50am with only two others out. About 10:30am there was about a dozen or so spread out. Was clean until about 11:00 when a light Southerly hit, then it was all over by 11:30am...

Not sure I'd bother tomorrow with the dropping swell and increased wind.

BB - never generally bother going any further as I am fairly easily satisfied. Shame it wasn't a foot bigger, I reckon it could have been good.

Love the horizon Kanga!

Some fun onshore wispy peaks this morning.

Looked great on the cams early,,,,,, from work

Good onya for getting back out there JB!

Had another fun run down at my local spot. Only small but local young crew with long boards, me on my SP seeing who could drop in and take the most waves of each other Im glad to say i held my own..

SO nice in the water

^ road trip is going to happen very soon.

R.I.P brother

^^^^ 2ft close out on a foot of sand is never fun in my opinion. My left MCL agrees.

A dozen friendly crew at my 'local' enjoying the light offshore, before the seabreeze. Isn't the water just f**n beeeaaaautttiiiful..!!

My SLSA paddling board is the only thing keeping me going right now. Desperate times.
