Nothing ventured, Nothing gained...

There wasn't much a doing locally Saturday morning so Aaron, Steveo and myself decided to put the boards up top and hit the road.

Some unexpected weather caught a few off guard...
The few behind the windscreen and between the hedges

After checking a couple of beachbreaks which were clean but tiny we stayed on the flats hoping something was a doing

Rocky Right

but Aaron unimpressed...

Back on the road

and a North-west left nearly but not quite doing its thing

With time running out and not a wave surfed we again hit the road with the thought of a certain spot in mind. A view of the pigs back en route...

Stiff offshores, a set of small but clean lines, sunshine and crystal blue water was enough to set the boys hearts racing and Aaron's legs running over one last dune...

The gold over the hill. Far from macking but after a day of driving it was more than worth getting in for, especially Steve who was buzzing to be surfing (and ripping!) a wedging left again no matter how small...

The locals wishing us good Baaaaaaaye!

Tommy grab your gun...

Bit bigger than expected...

Big, Brown and Beautiful

16.5ft @ 14 seconds up close

Rivermouth wedge

Sense of scale

Further down the beach looked abit more manageable

Another empty A frame (I want to be on you)

Hillside Right

Epic

wow. I definately underestimated todays swell. Was gonna sneak a quick surf on the way to work after uni but rethought the idea when I saw the size of the waves and paddleout. The A-bomb and I we're abit taken aback to say the least and gawked for an hour or so instead. Definately could've got the ride of your life out there today and am kinda thinking that I at least should have made an attempt to have been in that position. Maybe next time...
