Fun Day with the family

On wednesday i took the family down to port elliot. My Bro was down there on holidays so we had a visit with the kids. The morning was raining which was good becasue the wind wasnt half as strong as it was forcast. The morning was filled with mini golf and ferris wheels, donuts and jumpy castles. Tired the kids out nicely so after some luch we put them to bed and my bro and i made the 1 min journey to knights. The wind was picking up but still less than forcast and we were amazed to only see 2 people in the water. it was 2 ft occassional bigger one and pretty lumpy. got some fun closeouts then some larger peaky ones and manage to roll of another. Was only a quick session but fun enough. Met a person i went to school with out in the water which was weird. Had a little chinwag and catchup in between some waves. Was a good day overall. went to the beach with the kids in the afternoon then trundled on home.

First surf for the year

Well, first surf for the year was fun enough. Better than most of last years surfs even if it was only 1.5 ft max. Started the morning flicking a lure around for some salmon and waiting for the tide to drop. That didnt last long as there was a decent bank and fairly regular waves coming along. With no one else in the water it was too much to resist so i went back to the car and got my gear and paddled out. Nothing epic but got to practice a few moves and get some little barres when the tide got lower. Got a bit bored so paddled over to the reef to have a look with my camera. On the way back i thought id try and catch some waves with the gopro in my hand. Was kinda fun and good for getting a slightly different angle. Here's a few pics
