    No broken shit (maybe Dax?) just a mint offshore day with good turn out. Especially from surfers there must have been 100+ of them hogging the best breaks! Bourbons very cold :D

    Yeah, mint day out at Matakana. Surfers hogging some of the cleanest waves I've seen in ages.

    No major damage, which is surprising! Although my pipe has taken a hammering and is starting to crack along the weld seams. Weld upon weld on that damn pipe.
    Is there anything I can do to stop it cracking other than replacing it?

    Next time the conditions are that mint I'll have to take more gas, I was loving it out there!

    Yep was a sweet day at the oily island, Tofa if your chin pad fits thru your helmet opening then maybe its time for a new helmet or a bigger chin pad, hows the split tongue? Dax was tryin to fly to the moon, careful u dont end up with ankles like AJ, good to see lay low ridin hard and not breakin da pole, and Dan... well Dans Dan and mental as always with massive barrels and huge re entrys that leave us wonderin... why so high???? Good surf and good brews, long live summer....

    Yea surfers get rite of way most of the time...We sort of have an understanding that they get the sweet break area and we get the rest. But in saying that we still get the odd surfer that thinks hes going to ride our waves...but he dosn't last long with us fucking up his waves lol.

    Cool Goast shots Dax Get my camera back this week after its little accident so I will get it back out there soon. Couple of surfers at work said they couldnt believe there was no one out on main beach Sunday Thats because they were all over at Matakana!
