Warning notice: those pictures are deceptive!

The weather has already shifted…As I am typing, the clouds have already taken over. Get used to them, they’ll be sticking around for the next 5 days or so, together with the fresh Southerly. A massive shift when compared to yesterday: Summer in April! I hope you enjoyed it, soaking up the maximum amount of Vitamin D before Autumn really kicks in.

There are quite some waves to be surfed out there. Bondi has some, but the biggest ones are tending to close out. The smaller guys offer a bit of opened shoulders…but you’ll have to fit your way through with 5 other guys on each wave, regardless on how deep inside you take-off. Irritating… As I left to run to work, Tama was the pick (peak?) of the day at the time. Some good solid clean faced ones, with occasionally a left/right option…and a much much more civilized crowd.

This weekend, I brought you some shots of the Komunity Comp in Manly. Slater & co. were battling in one mushy foot of wave. Well look at what Kelly was up to, just the day before, in pumping Shipsterns, Tasmania. Unreal! Watch out for the wipeouts– you’ll probably feel for those guys…Just watching the video, I felt like I was drowning…
