    Marine weather report looks about the same but all the wind speeds are slightly lower so still might get away with riding Sun / Monday..

    Yea was mint today! .....hopefully tomorrow will be more of the same...........probably is best to try for early start to get a run in before wind picks up!
  18. A day at the Port -: Dax & i started off wandering if we were gona get out of the car as it was pissing down but surprise it cleared. The surf as huge & i spent most of the time in the smaller stuff. Dax abused his ski with a massive crack in da hood & around the pole bracket, Brendans new ski recieved some war wounds to the rear of the hull, the Rumble man returned with bent hood brackets & Logans scope grate mysteriously went missing. Thanks to Knoxie for the keepers. A good day apart from the rotting seagull pecked seal carcase

    Huge stuff at the port

    Great ride chaps.... That was some huge stuff out there today. Pretty impressive riding. The highlights was having to tow logan back through the surf and down the river. Cheers.
