Had a quick sesh early this morning out Easty. Only got 4-5 waves before the weekend warrior kooks descended. Only 2-3ft but managed to pick the good ones so 4-5 waves stoked the fire for the day.

surfed ok lennox yesty. Rocked off at 5:40 in the morning and surfed till about 10-30, then had a bite and a coffee then hit it again after having a check around and finding that the point was about the best on offer. pretty damn surfed out now after leaving home at 3am to get there before dawn, then driving home through peak hour traffic. Ahh but a good days surfing is always better than a month of working

Went down Conjola Thursday night - got up early Friday - checked the Island - not doing it - not getting swell and westerly is actually side shore at the Isalnd - looked down the beach and there's spitting left bout 200 metres south from lookout.
paddled out - got 2 cranking lefts to start and then lost the take off spot for a while - got it happening again scored a cupple more - then a bit of a lull - then ya start thinking too much - 200 metres out from shore - no-one at all on the beach - fuck what if i snap me leggie and get caught in a rip - what if a shark gives me a nip ?? - hey it's good - real good surfing by yourself - but ya gotta be sensible some time - so i came in
GB arrived Friday arvo so we hit the beachie for a late session - tide not right and wave doubling up - but still had some fun ones.
On the piss Friday nights - but me and GB got up and decided to give the island a shot - very disappointing - got 2 shit waves each came in and went back down the beach.
Big JJ comes down Saturday night - so's we hit the piss hard again but still manage to get up 7.30 for a look - island still fucked - but the favourite beach bank looks the goods - so's we hit it - how fucking good is surfing with just 2 other guys out in the water - nice lefts and occasional rights holding up - although a bit fuller than Friday morn. - sayed out till 10.30 and got in the shit with the bosses - cause they waiting for us to cook brekkie - hahahahaha - was fucking worth the nagging
All in all - one of the best long weekend surf trips for ages

I was stoked to get back to the caravan park and find Scarps, T-bone and Ute had arrived, but by the time we had a beeer and went back to dunbogan the quickly diminishing swell had been swallowed up by the tide... so kinda glad I braved the sharky conditions.

had a grovel today out at Kings beach clowntown. Was a shocker!! Shifty peaks would stand up at a reasonable size only to back off as soon as you got into em paddled inside a bit where there was a reform section and proceeded to get smashed on most, just ugly close out peaks. The coffee and slice afterwards was the only real highlight

So... finally startin to go quiet up there hey??
Well there's a tops NE swell hittin down here at the moment, even though my local aint best suited to NE swell there was still plenty of brilliant waves this morning and the crowds had gone where the swell direction was better suited so it was perfect with the reduced crowd.
I got a shit load of waves and I gotsta say I am farkin loving the Magic Wand MkII it has really revitalised my love for longer boards, it's aproper longboard IMO, not just a big shortboard, you look at the thing on the beach and its flat as, with not an edge in sight, yet I've been blown away by the way it's been handling not just size, but hollowness and even the tube, the thing is just so reassuring under foot, definitely a different feeling board when I first got on it, but now that I'm in tune with it I'm completely stoked - two big thumbs up Ric!! very happy, I don't think he noticed when I handed him the last of the cash I owed him the other day as I don't think he counted it, but I slipped him an extra $200 more than what he'd asked for for the MkI and MkII, he deserved it IMO, hopefully some of the sheep around the shop can see what the Magic Wand is capable of and throw some business Rics way.
Together with not being in form this good for 5-6 years and feeling really surf fit having been off the durries since the new year and the almost continuous run of surfable days, 2009 is turning out to be pretty bloody good, I even cleaned up on both my club days the past two weekends running, its a nice feeling paddling out feeling confident that you're gonna do the surf justice. Looks like the waves will continue for a coupla days too.

I hit copa this morn with me work mate at 6.30, not great surf but twas good to be out thar, winter up here is a joke, ever since it got cold we aint seen no numpties out thar but us, if that be the way its gonna be it can stay cold forever !!!!!!
Its working out good, 2/3 surfs a week before school, no crowds and now the weekend is merely an optional extra.
The ppe is such a diffo board with the new fins, I'm setting lines better and its holding better and carving turns is a cack. I reckon I'll get some o the same but are glass for the 6'4".
And all day at work after a surf I'm zinging along, the work numpts are coming in bleary eyed and shivering, down coz they at work, me and me mate done something for ourselves first and canna wait for the next !!!
