Warm winter water

sunrise over Green Bay

early waves

nice ones off the point

fast breaking peak


It was so warm on this Winter's day that Dave was trying to tear the fireskin off after 30 minutes. The dawn patrol saw Ross and Dave in the water at Green Bay super early and they got a few tasty rights peeling off that wall near the rivermouth. Bit full outside, they hit the bank on about 2 inches of water and really hollowed out. About an hour and a half later, Carl, Tobes and Gary turned up as well. Ross and Dave attracted a few local boys with no imagination to look elsewhere, so there was quite a crowd by 9 o'clock. Not bad.........

Shipstern's Ahoy!

"I had quite a few beers with my mate Staz and handed on a Pointy Hat shirt(a few Tasmanians are now wearing them). He told me that we had to get up at 7 to catch some waves on the tide. Due to a late night he didnt arrive at our place hassling me until 10..I thought my plan had worked but he kept cajouling me into having a go...he had brought around all the gear.......we had missed any decent waves but there was still a small wave being surfed by some young kids. The most difficult thing was getting the wet suit on!
Staz then ran me through a few drills on the beach and it was into the surf...bloody freezing!
Unfortunately the waves were neither bi g or powerful...certainly not big or powerful enough to carry a clumsy overweight bloke towards the beach.....I almost got up a couple of times but tended to just sink the board!
I didnt even have to compete with other surfers...the 10 year olds cleared out of the way when they saw yours truly heading towards them out of control!"
Well, Pointy of the Month Lewy sounds like he had an experience. Next stop Shipstern's Bluff methinks!

Peak of Dreams

fun left

Dave did come back...it was hard.
Cass dragged herself away from pooldeck to take a few shots. This place just went off for 14 days straight.
Downside: Crowded peak....40 guys sometimes just on one peak! Had to re-learn the hustle...
Upside: Crystal warm water, international (Japanese, Aussie, German, French, Spanish, English, Sri Lankan) yet friendly and competitive crowd, sealife swimming below on the reef, surfing mag quality waves which kicked, walled up and sucked off the reef. Offshore all morning and some arvos. Consistent quality. Awesome food. Friendly locals. Too many to mention......................!
