Hey Mantas that looks familar but I cant place it...... ? It was a lovely day here too......in the office :(

Yep, it was my board. The same wave cleaned up my bro as well. I bailed and chucked my board, I heard it snap under water. My bro decided to duck-dive it and he busted his elbow.

recognize any of those spots Koko?

Sorry about the board, mantas... :(

no, i dont recognise the spot at all.. if it is around your place, i dont know that area at all..

wind is blowing ten gales today... yucky..

Bad luck about the board mantas, though much better to hear ya board snap rather than ya arm!
Big down here now, pulling out the Rhino Chaser....

Not too worried about the board. I've had it about 4 years now, so time for a new one. As Indo said, better to have a snapped board than a snapped bone, eh Koko?

You need to get out of town more Koko. Those waves are just 30 mins south of you. My mate that lives at Merewether said he has had the best surf out there in 10 years.

Good luck Indo, some pics would be nice.

oh yeah, i know now. that place is an out of body experience
when we were grommets we used to camp in the bush there for the holidays..

too far to walk for me but..

Yeah, we did the same. We had to walk in all the way from Catho, about 35 mins each way. Well worth it though. Only the 3 of us out for hours.
I think the place is better without the vehicle access it once had.

Ghosties

nice pics mantas and koko! looks like you've all been getting some good waves.

We usually get consistant swells here between 3-6 foot but they often lack quality.

It's been a good year for waves so far. I mostly surf only when it's good these days and I've been doing a lot of surfing lately.

Some images of a classic June east coast swell

whats the average ocean temp in June mantas?

About 16-18 deg.
Sometimes on a winters morning it can be 5 deg. with a wind chill of zero standing on the beach and 18 deg. in the water.

i know the top one very well.. yum...

Nice mantas.. tied to pic a fav but couldn't!
Had a good surf down here today 4 out, then just 2 of us. Close by reef 2-4ft. Nothin like ya pics (that's why I didn't bother with pics!)
Allbetter than ma Jp waves though!

Great photos, its pumping!!!!!! There were waves here yesterday, all my mates SMS me as it was my 1st week at work and the best waves in months... :(

today was flat. the wind has blown it all away..

Has anyone surfed anything like this? I feel like a pussie winging about the winter mornings here. They must have top quality wetsuits eh?

Norway








This is classic

That Thor is a god in NOrway!

brrr.. I have seen videos of doods surfing in iceland .. they were jumping off an ice flow... too funny..



here is a sick iceland wave i found.

Wouldn't it be freaky if someone set up a surf/snowboarding resort?

I'm very happy to limit my surf trips to warmer climates..
Helps keep the excess baggae under control!

My bro left today... not happy!
