Happy Monday

It started off slow down at Shippies on Monday: undersized, inconsistent, the swell appeared too west. But sometime after lunch the conditions ramped up with the first 15 foot set hitting the reef. That set was followed by more, and though it remained inconsistent, the small crew on hand got an even share of the offerings.

A fine way to start the working week...

Bug On The Windscreen

How quickly the tides of fortune change.

One moment you've made a clean lift-off, the wind in your face, body tucked tight, listening to nought but the clean crash of lip...

...the next moment you've made contact and it all comes undone. A horrifying impact followed by a terrifying trip over the falls.
