Great little paddle and 20 waves this morning. Took a new strategy to the crowded spot which is a reef break, waited to the side of the break until the large sets went through and everyone going for them. Once they were gone I paddled into the impact zone for the smaller to medium sets that no one was catching and had a blast, much better than hassling for 3-4 waves and 10 wanting them.
Hi Dave,
I think my mate was out that morning with you.
he was on a Fanatic pro
My GPS tracks say it all. What a day..!!!
4 hours solid and countless waves.!!
yes, did need a boat to get there.
Just back from four days in Tofino. Three days surfing, one day storm and hail...that was so nice.
Hi Luc,
Thanks for getting me out in the surf with you on Thursday! Windy and cool but nice to catch a couple of waves. Totally blown out yesterday with winds between 25-40 knots. Surf comp this morning at North Chesterman, near zero degrees and a bit blown out but heats are going. Toby our new pup looks forward to your return. Here is a photo of you guys together.
cheers
Bob
Great weather but a little too much wind which turned a casual paddle into a great work out up and down wind.
Great Turtle wing paddle Dave ,I'm on my way .
On your way to the local break or are you on the mainland?

local ...just flat water today ...surf is huge and out of control ...with this passing cyclone ..
Yesterday, I emptied out Creek Van, to take some friends for a 2 hour paddle tour of the mangrove estuary.
Surfs SUPs are great for casual paddling
I ended up with the 8'7 Placid for the trip
So fun to watch the kids discover fish and other critters as we paddled along.
Taking grandkids paddling is really eye opening - you get to notice a lot of estuary life that you normally pass by!
Gisborne Town Beach on Nalu 11'4......bit of a gap between sets today so almost a winner as easy to paddle back out. As opposed to yesterday when I only caught two waves....no gaps and punishing shore break
middle aged Sup Dude on a hill of water waiting, why do my surf mate always ask if any waves are are coming ,i watch them watching me ,if i start paddling so do they ...lol...
Took a quick 10hr trip up to the GC for a SUP Comp with the legends from the SUSinc crew.. Pretty wicked and challenging conditions so we figured a stop off to a sheltered spot on the way home was in order... we were not disappointed!!!
Hey Riverider, where's that spot?
When I get down to Hobart for work, I go over to Clifton Beach, or to the reefs on Bruny on the way to Adventure bay...

Hey Hop, that's Carlton River.
My usual break this morning, only 11 waves in 1.4hrs there was such a long break between sets, heaps of fun though.
Nice dave...also whats app are you using?
Hey Bomberdave,
I have a Garmin watch so all the info is on their app, I modified one of their apps to suit SUP but have also downloaded. A SURF one but have yet to test it.
Got in a session with a few of my closest friends
Pretty soon everyone wanted to stand up!
They were so stoked to share with me

I was rewarded for my work with 3 days of amazing waves!!!
Love being back home with proper sandbars
