Sinlaku sighs

Dave left Dan in the lurch at 5am on Saturday, but there wasn't much on. Surf was big and wild as expected, but the boys in blue were everywhere. No more joy this morning as Green Ball had a small, but nice shape...just taking this photo inspired a local roller to stop and wait till I got back in the car. Pillbox was too full and everywhere had the most water flowing over rocks and banks that I've ever seen. Local news reported some foreigners not heeding police calls to get out of the water: unfortunately, it wasn't us!

Stand up wind swell

Tobes and Gary got some standup action at Jinshan proper really early on Sunday morning. It was pretty much just a wind swell, but still a bit of a wave. Pointy of the Month coming soon....

New Header!

We have a new header featuring our guys on our local breaks with lots of different styles portrayed. I think it gives a good idea of our philosophy (having fun), and also shows what we can get if we're patient enough!

Dan Robbo reminded me of the magic seaweed site, and I've moved their Wushi graphic down on the right under the Wavewatch graphic. There is also a link under "Taiwan" on the right. Check it out: they have great reports and links to all sorts of other pics, blogs and sites.

Lazy Hazy Crazy days of summer

The flat spell continues on and on, but the cliff had a friendly crowd today, hooting each other on to little swells with the most gigantic, light boards. They were just perfect for the conditions! It's also like having a warm bath at the moment...

Wake up the gimp

Dan Robbo let loose on a few beauties over the break...see video above.

dare to dream...

A tiny bit of swell for the weekend? Here's a prediction for midday, Saturday.

Bali tales

Lewy shredded some massive Kahunas during his stay in Bali, but the swell had dropped off dramatically by the time anyone thought to grab a camera. His mesmerizing surfing so captivated the locals that he was later to sit round a campfire at the beach as he enthralled one and all with strange tales of far off lands, horses such as Drizzle and Georgia's Boy and their many, amazing achievements.

Had to do it...

As our flat spell continues, I couldn't resist posting this slide show of epic Merether just before we returned. It really turned it on and some crisp wide power barrels were on offer. Don't forget, Ross and Dave's Surfari and all the other Pointyhat slide shows are always available for viewing at the link first on the right. We also have a dedicated Youtube page if you ever want a video hosted.

Calling John Rambo...

Pointies was flat as a tack today (as expected), but the Viet Congesque barbed wire and organised fun on the beach with roped off swimming zones was unexpected. Looks to me like something a good solid swell (or a legendary movie commando) will take care of...

Magic

We're back! Just a couple of teasers for now, more to follow in the next few days. Pointyhat Ross ventured back across the ditch and we had a fun surfari up the coast, witnessing some awesome surf and getting a few for good measure. Merewether also served up a couple of epic days which I will show here. More soon, but here is Ross on a Burwood beach left and some crankin Merewether beaties.
