Yoohoo, it looks good for the weekend

If the prognosis holds we are in for a really great surfing weekend this weekend..could be big and OFFSHORE for the first time since I started surfing here..yaahoooo. Above you can see what sort of temps we are expecting friday,sat,sun.. +3 fri, +2 and snow sat and zero on sunday hahaha.

In the pic under you can see the red arrows (swell) pointing towards the coast in the northern half of the coloured map and the wind is the black flag like things..the long part of the flag is the direction the wind is blowing in. There's a size code in metres on the side of the diagram..that means friday afternoon will be 2.5-3 metres and offshore if the prognosis doesn't change

Under you can see the water temps for friday..the date is wrong but it IS friday! The half moon dark blue spot on the left about 3cm from the top of the pic is where we surf..It will be 6-7 degs in the water..haha

This is the swell prediction for friday morning at 8am..starting to build!!

This pic shows 2-3m swell from 12am on thursnite/frimorn..yahoo it's gunna pump if the prognosis holds.

Cross your fingers and pray !!

Cool link and hairy photos from teahupoo

(Johan) This link was really cool, I got it of my buddy Robs site. I use my right side by the way..
Here´s a couple of photos from one of the hairiest waves on earth.. You can check the rest of the photos here. Peace out.

Well, this sucks...

Ratman´s dying from the flu

And me and Emil are too poor to go on our own...
Jay has to put up wall paper..

Which means, No surf tomorrow...

Too bad there was no trip to Norway. Everyone was stoked as hell, but it just wasn´t meant to be.

Emil´s first lake surf session!

New camera!

(Johan) Yesterday I bought a new compact digital camera, and I´m stoked as hell. With a tripod we´ll be able to take kick ass photos of us surfing.

Now we just have to learn how to take good photos, I´m gonna get my photographer buddy Rob to give me a few pointers.

Looks like there might be surf saturday or sunday, the gang have all ordered new boards, so it´ll be a really fun session.

Peace!

Great surf today!!!

(Rat) We got probably the biggest surf we have had since Aug last year. It was 8 degs out and 8 in..When we got there it was about chest high and by the time we'd gotten changed and come back it had jumped up at least a metre within 15 mins..We times it perfectly again.It got bigger and bigger..Let's just say it was solid and waaay over head on the sets. I estimate there were some 6 footers sneaking through at times. The bummer is we got very little evidence of it AGAIN due to lack of photo taking (we were all in the water surfing and no-one wanted to go in and take photo's) and a bit of bad luck with the focus on the ones we did get..A real shame 'cause it was crankin' all arvo. Jay got tired and went in a bit earlier and took a few photos but they unfortunately didn't come out very well..There is one of me trying to get around the whitewater, (which I succeeded in doing), that gives an idea of the size of some of the medium ones but there were much bigger and chunkier ones coming through and being ridden by the crew. We were 5 today...Johan (Kojak), Grant (Rat), Jay (Master of the Universe), Andrew (Pinky) and Emil (Smiley). I saw Andrew do a really nice big floater on a closeout section on one, which he pulled off cleanly. I saw Johan take a couple of rights all the way to shore with at full throttle and Emil got a few really nice ones on my '75 hot buttered single fin before returning on Johans 7'10" funboard for a few more. Funny though..although I know Jay caught heaps of waves I didn't get the chance to see even one of his rides..!!

I got some screamers. Got a tube on one and had a few waves where I was able to pull off several slashes and reo's. I even got a full on over the falls wipe out on one..hahaha..Anyway, of the pics we got here are some..

This is what it looked like when we arrived
