Raaaaahhhhh

Still frustratingly unable to get a good surf in. Went down to victor harbour a couple of weeks back with the family to see if we could spot some whales. Was only one around a long way out from bashams beach so wasnt all that exciting. Managed to squeeze my board in so got a quick hour at knights. The beach was missing a lot of sand so the foreshore was pretty much just rocks and the waves were breaking a lot further out than normal. The wind was a puff onshore and the waves in the 2-3 ft category. Was a bit crowded so just hung wide and picked up some of the wider wedges and closeouts just to keep my wave count up cause i only had an hour. Better than nothing though so i guess i cant complain too much.

Went out on Sunday just gone too, cracker swell predicted, but didnt have enough time to go down south and watch the heatworks pro at knights. So i dragged my bros sorry arses out of bed at 5am and was hopping to get high tide christies Y steps. I checked the bouy before i left and there was 4.5 m around and the wind was offshore so i was pretty sure that it would be working. Unfortunatley the swell must have been more south than southwest and it just didnt happen. it was a slow weak swell refracting around Kangaroo island and christies just didnt have enough waves of a reasonable size. Went round to southport and tried to make the most of the rest of the session on some wind affected 2 footers, managed to pop a nice air on my first wave out but after that it was pretty frustrating. I'm quite pissed today that the surf didnt co operate. I really needed a decent wave, its been very slim picking for quality this year when i have time to get out. Even more madening because there has been some good swell around this winter. RaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHH

A few embarrassingly small waves at southport
