southport slut

Had a couple more surfs at southport in January. Pretty average really, two reasonable swells that just didn't do anything size or quality wise. Got to test out my new single pin gopro mount which was cool. Its way better than the base plate, just less to put pressure on and created less drag on the camera. First use i only turned the camera on for a couple of waves as it really wasn't worth it.



Second surf i got to catch with Phil who had been in the stated for a couple a months. decent well but poor winds and banks and a fair crowd too. Handed over my board to Phil so he could get some footage but neither of us got anything particularly good. Here is a couple of Phil's rides




The casing mount broke on me this time, have almost broken all the original parts now. Bad luck on my behalf i think as i haven't heard others say they have broken as much as me. It not as though the waves its been used in have been big enough to justify the breakages either so I'm a little annoyed. I have glued it back together for now but no doubt it will snap off again the next time it gets used.



On the positive though i have had 4 surf this year all ready and its only just gone in to February. That's one third of the total surfs i managed last year! Happy days......for now
