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?

Bad luck about the board mantas, though much better to hear ya board snap rather than ya arm!

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. smile

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.

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.

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.

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

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