I've never done it but there are loadsa people using them round here, although the waves are nowhere like the one in the picture!!!

Actually I'm thinking of getting one of these.



Ski that is.

thanks for clarifying that mantas.
i thought you might have been in the market for some high-waisted bikini bottoms

You take the boat and I'll take the lady

I didn't even notice the lady til you said so just now TB.

Do I sense a mid life crisis? If your gonna get a ski then get something that will tow you in.

Isn't that what the chick is for??

Nothing else to add really. Just wanted to see that chick again.

Hey spook it would be a good way to show off his Brazilian .

the spolier is back!

WTF is the spoiler all about???

anyone getting any waves? I've had a few but nothing to rave about. Summer's usually pretty ordinary here.

I just had a surf this afternoon. It was only small and pretty windy but it is great to get out in the water.

Waters been nice ay?
I'm just up the road mate.

*waves to mantas*

Yes, the water is just lovely now. When the noreasters start blowing it will get cold again.. brrr..

although I don't surf, there were a lot of good waves down my way on Sunday. Check out the pics of Fuji-san I posted in the snow thread

surfed some of the most terrible waves i've had in ages this afternoon (light onshore, barely breaking, but i was on a wombat - beau youngs 6'4" mal shaped short board, so kinda fun).
called in sick last wednesday and made the call to drive up the coast on a tiny tiny swell. got there and it was head+, which left us all stunned. hit an outer reef and got smoking smoking waves. big juicy walling rights, couple of heavy sneaker sets hitting the boils and cleaning us up, but just a great surf with a few blokes out. i put on soooo much sunscreen so i wouldn't show up to work the next day sunburnt
had a quick bash at a nearby beachie afterwards - fun zippy peaks, and we were feeling pretty chuffed with ourselves. smashed some beers on the trip home (the driver took it easy) and then a farken fantastic pie at our favourite bakery to end a great day.
what an epic sick day
was absolutely exhausted the next day at work from all the sun and my eyes were bloodshot as anything - my boss asked me if i felt OK and if i was feeling well enough to be at work brilliant

thanks for reviving this thread mantas!

it's my bucks this weekend - we're keeping it small, 6-8 of us going down south. any excuse to go on a boys trip (they're rarer and rarer these days, and i get the feeling they're gonna happen less and less in the future) and hunt some waves. i'm looking forward to it

I saw those pics, tubby. Where is that beach? They looked like good waves. Must have been after a typhoon. Does it get that big very often?

Spook.
I spent a couple of seasons in west oz at the bluff and down the south-west. i love that place.

3 Bears before the doctor blew in was my favourite consistent spot, (during summer)
