Sunday of hopes

Now for sunday i had quite a busy day running around town and drive my mates around going shopping! How gay! Give me the water... Anyway by 2pm i was at home and needed to get a surf in regardless, so i checked coastal watch and to my surprise there were some small waves and a sweet out look in that low tide was around 3:30pm.

So i packed the car and set off for what i though would be a nice afternoon session.
Suited up and jumped off the rocks down at the local point! I hadn't bothered to check on the depth of the tide, but i was soon about to discover the depth of water off the reef was little more than the height of my knee!

With the wind bumping up a few notches and flowing across the break it made for some sketchy lowtide barrels. Just how we like them.
Got a few decent pits and spoke with a few of the local boys of whom all commented on my 6th board for the year haha. It was a fun surf all round with mum watching from the rocks and looking on in amazement as surfer after surfer tried to take control over the reef only to get a beating they wish they hadn't received!

Now all i can do is wait for work to drop off and the swell to pick up and i'll be heading where ever i need to!
