Will be at Neill St at 3:30pm. Looks SICK! There's a bit of swell too so it should be fun!

Manly was good although I felt a bit out of control at times on a 5.3. Need more practice in strong winds!!!!

Had planned to get there but got caught in an unexpected meeting. Looked good but that seems to be the end of it again for a while.

Awesome session at Sandstone Point, Average 18-20knts SSE winds the whole time. Over powered on the 6, dropped to my trusty 4m². pity there wont be any good winds for awhile yet.

AWESOME arvo up at Neill St and it was especially good to see a decent crew out. Nice head high-half mast waves and a solid 20 knots - and that bank on the inside is EPIC at the moment. Mid tide makes a 200m wall of down the line fun! And when the tide dropped too much the reef was throwing up some big meaty sections to hit! It was a long time between drinks but the wait was worthwhile! Suuuper fun!
