So what it was friday night and 11:30pm? Just because i was getting up at 3:40am and racing to batemansBay, where i arrived at 7:20am too see Tory and Dee with their new friend Jeff unpacking and getting ready to hit the sketcky ledge!!!
So we raced down the trail and got suited the fark up! We were keen as mustard!
So we surfed this particular spot for 2 hours before the long drive back into batemans to get some filling maccas. True meal of travellers!
Then it was back out to one of my favourate breaks just down from where we were previously!
It was here that i near had my perfect keg, the one i have so long sought to ride and the one that was to be a happy moment where nothing else mattered but me and the sea.
Once we arrived, we saw all the kids and younger guys had packed up and were all leaving, so as you'd have it we suited up and shot out! With in 15minutes the swell had already picked up and the wind was now onshore/cross which doesn't particularlly matter at this such break as the rock formation of the reef in the right swell just makes this barrel that is just purely amazing.
Anyhow after another 2hour long session it was time to head home, only since my other mate was stuck in canberra i decided to drive home via goulburn just incase he needed help!
SO 800km from waking up 4hrs sleep and 4hrs of sport i was too say the least buggered!

To Phillip island and Powlett
So the weekend before the long weekend, i ventured down swoodle and nobles way out phillip island. Works finished at 5 and i'm straight to the airport to catch my plane! Luckily i was extremely late, but my flight was super delayed due to the weather!! Phew!!!!!!!!!!!
So i get off the plane in melb some hour and a half late and proceed to meet up with stu who very kindly drove me down to his place in phillip island!
First stop PUB!!!!!
Ok so the first night was kinda messy but nothing out of the ordinary, but it made for a relaxing surf out powlett in the morning. The water was suprisingly warm to me when i was expecting the worst hahahahah.... So we had a quick session and got a few bigger close outs along the beach.
That was the highlight of day one.
Night two was you guessed it to the pub, how awesome :D! This time much messier and more drawn out which made days too lack of surf and extremely sketchy paddle from EP's to smiths beach a voyage of its own accord!
Then it was time to pack up get dry and get in the car for the hour and a half long drive back to melb to the airport and for the short flight home!
A weekend well spent with great people and like our journy of life not so much swell as wished, but thats life and we'll do it again!

The local and back again
So after a few days of small lowtide afternoon waves we were greeted with out local splashing down and only a few locals out.
Now we were only out till dark but we were all alone for the most part of an hour due to the weather! We spent almost 2hours out this session and thats to the fact it was getting darker later each night it was quite refreshing! We spent close to half our time paddling between the banks and trying to find which waves were lasting the longest.
I must have gotten about 2 litres of water up my nose from trying to hold my line while the sand banks were making shaddy brown waves. Not the most pleasant of feelings through your wetty when it has been pumped with sand hahaha, but thats surfing and we love it!
Sorry i can't upload pics at the moment, but i will publish them in due course! just blogspot isn't uploading :'(

No mans land
So we headed off down no mans after work, and we were pleasantly surprised to be greated with perfect offshore winds and the lagoon and longy was open aswell.
As we drove along the main road and glimpsed a peak at what would be one of the most memmorable surfs of all time. I was on the search for the perfectkeg!! Although the surf was only tiny it wasn't impossible to get perfect clean left hand barrels...,mmmmm my favourate!
So for this entry i'm going too post pics of the same spot over the 3-4 afternoons i was out with my brother and we had more than enough fun. Including the keg i got that lasted what felt like forever (was probably a full 4seconds hahaha) anyhow enough from me its time too see the pictures and let them show you the real story.
