Baishawan Blues

Pointy Greg sent this report from Baishawan and also cleared up the mystery of the empty StClair lineup (see a few reports back)

Big crowds and at Baishawan on Saturday morning (nothing on Jinshan though)

A small but just surfable wave for the Pettigrew & Carter grometts.

A big high tide early in the day.

A live octopus on the beach.

1 million lifeguards in training

Lots of sunburn!

Weekend of Misery

yesterday's tragic scenes


Question: How many people are trying to catch a 3 inch wave at Jinshan Saturday?
Answer: Too many!
Jinshan conditions have moved beyond a joke with these scenes. Tobes set up camp there yesterday and reports that they're now charging 100 NT to park. The "scene" is cool, but the surf is just a little crowded!
All we can do is hope for some swell.........today's picture below.

Wednesday is Whites Only Day at St.Clair!

Sean looks for a pointy (shark)

Is Dunedin the Red Neck Neo Facist surfing capital of NZ?

Before all the PC liberals get their knickers in a twist - Whites Only Day at St.Clair doesn’t refer to skin colour or ethnicity.
Rather it is the “Great Whites” (of the fishy kind) who have their day feasting on the local seals and sea lions (or any hapless visiting surfer who doesn’t know the pecking order in the lineup at Dunedin beaches)!

no one surfing

World's Smallest Wave- Entry 2

Brian managed to carve up a few in between giving Jack some tips...he's submitted this one for the WSW comp. It's neck and neck so far between Brian and Coomba.....got any more?

Jack's a Pointy

good wave!


Young Jack Tobey is learning how to surf and picked up a couple of nice ones at the rocket. Jack looks like he has great balance and he'll go really well. Check out his form below and above

good balance
