Morning Swellnutters ... and Merry Christmas.

With a 9yo gidget, about to start what we suspect is the last "santa" Christmas I sit here having my first coffee of the day and reflecting on the past 9 years ... a torn heart and all. For, it is great to go for the dawn patrol, but so too the joy of a child's face as they first look upon the treasure trove that awaits under the tree.

I hope you all have a great day!

Family duties done and dusted for another year, but 'ole Huey has not wanted to play today.

Oh well, time for a beer and off to the shed ... time for some board work!

Merry Christmas Wingnut and to all you other Swellnet reprobates. The great Aussie summer - love it.

Minimal surf, gorgeous diving . Deep blue , warm current licking the coast. The lucky country indeed. Just been offered a beer. Oh yeah.

And remember It aint about the gifts, or the food and booze, or the "kids".... It about little baby Jesus!!!! ;)

Not sure about baby Jesus or Xmas.

Best happiness and health to the future of what ever Universe you live in.

I don't think I can add to anything that's already been said.

Have a safe and happy 2015 everyone and may mother nature nestle you snugly against her bosom and may you revel in her warm embrace.

So, you all survived the influx of the once a year relative?

This year, we had no such trouble ... just me, the MOWF and our gidget at home cruising all day. But, by 3pm I was feeling the effects; way too much tucker and the slow constant wash down with booze. It was the day we all needed, considering the year we've had ...

Now, how many of you are brave enough to face the boxing day sales?

In the spirit of xmas (kinda) may I introduce from Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas - the Riverbottom Nightmare Band...from 1977.

As one commentator says, "That these guys arent in the Rock and roll hall of fame is a travesty".

Merry Christmas everyone....This song celebrated 200 years yesterday and this version is sung by the amazing Aretha Franklin. Jesus Christ brought peace into the world to those who wish to seize hold of it. He brought with Him in His visit, a way back to the to the Father of all living. He only taught for 3 1/2 years but when you walk into a funeral and bring dead people back to life and walk upon the sea you become quite famous very quickly. So much so, that we calculate time by him. He could do these things because He owned these things. He is the only one to ever come from outside our world and yet we won't understand Him unless we seek to. We put him to death but He rose again as He cant be held down. Some of His names are "Wonderful" "Counsellor" "Mighty God" "Everlasting Father" "Prince of peace" "Alpha and Omega" He is the first and the last. He was expected to come but not as everyone thought. A baby born in a barn to Joe and Mary...As plain as you can get but you start to see how God thinks. He does everything left of field. He makes the wisdom of men look stupid and irrelevant. The important things are not wealth nor title, but humility before God and a friendship that is everlasting spanning from this realm to the next...Enjoy Christmas maybe even "Find yourself" in church this year. Peace to you and your families and enjoy.

Ultimate Chrissy day here . Unable to surf or fish so it’s a delicious morning dip - waters got to be over 23 degrees - after the pressy ritual and tastey breakfast. Just cracked a beer and peeling prawns for the family lunch.

Good times

Waves all week down here and I got to spend most of it at work, right bang in the middle of our busiest 2 weeks of the year.
Got the Grom his first foamie and spent the morning pushing him into a few...don’t know who’s smile was bigger.
Cold beer has been cracked, missus is prepping up a storm in the kitchen whilst I’m listening to my new Tom Waits album.
Life is good.
Cheers to the Swellnet team and all other contributors.

Just got through the first of the Christmas family lunches. Fuck, I feel like retreating into a cool, dark cave and hibernating for a few months till I’ve digested the 3000 prawns I just ate. There’s worse ways to go!

Thanks for a good year of interest , intrigue and stimulating discussion. Cheers for the accurate forecasts and the overall stoke out of the editorial.

Hope Santa hooks up with Huey and youse all get some sick pits under the Chrissy tree.

Got bugger all in the stocking...actually I didn't even get a stocking...but I just found, not one, but two, eroded housebricks in the shorebreak to add to my eroded housebrick collection.

So already it's a fantastic day.

Now it's time to put on my Mambo MP cutback shirt with coconut shell buttons, sup on the Christmas cheer in the ante meridiem (only day of the year it's excusable), hook into a bucket prawns, lamb roast, and then a pav, all the duties divvied up by the family.

Meanwhile, the answer to the eternal question is that Tassie will make the gravy, and as he's only nine-years old you can bet it won't taste the same.

Hope y'all have a great day too.

We’ve had a couple of old bricks kicking around on the verandah and they were starting to give me the shits just looking at them. I made a move to get rid of them and my mother in law lost her mind. It wasn’t till she showed me the tell tale diamond stamp the first Sydney convicts put in the handmade bricks which made the first proper buildings in Australia that I understood her reluctance to get rid of them.

Bit ‘O history.

Anyway ….early start here. Already letting the draw string out on the boardies due to seafood consumption.

Merry Christmas swellnutters.
Had my first surf at a new spot i was invited to with a local at his secret spot, boat only access a fair way closer to steeep point shark ville than it needs to be..by ourselves in perfect winds..was perfect when we arrived but started getting wider off the reef as the swell turned more south so we headed home before the seabreeze fucked up our trip home...didnt chuck in for fuel money though i forgot...anyway it might become a regular thing as his wife told him hes not allowed to surf sharky waters alone anymore..
Had a great morning but no photos or directions from me...just a good chrissy present from a good mate...now its time for prawns and crays for lunch with my friends.

Merry Christmas, everyone

Early present with fresh 17sec swell on 23 December. 2xOH+ and not crowded.

A few out of towners on holiday, and they were stoked as hell.

Family Xmas since then with no surf but lots of swims.

Happy happy holidays
