1, 2, 3, …10, …27,… 52, …73 ! Forget it: too many to count ! Bondi looked like China this morning !!

Is it the 2 to 4 foot waves that attracted all this crowd ? Or is it the warm water ? Maybe it’s because those are the last days of decent light in the morning to allow for a paddle and head to work before 7:30am ?

In any case, the end result is that line-up was packed. Crowded. Busy.

And with it, drop-ins left right and center (pun intented) and ironically empty waves. Here is how it happens: 4 people paddle, take-off, ‘’oh there is someone inside ! Let me move away’’, to the next person ‘’oh there is someone inside ! Let me move away’’, to the next person ‘’oh there is someone inside ! Let me move away’’, when finally the last man standing thinks ‘’thanks guys, now I’m in the white…game over’’…and there goes an empty wave ! 😉

Now, if you’re thinking about going finless, but you’re thinking ‘’yeah, but I wouldn’t be able to surf big waves’’, look at that ! Ok, you also have to carry a cumbersome SUP with you, but hey, you can toob-ride finless ! And the bonus for me in this video: it is shot at home.

And remember: for the fashionistas, we're offering 2 TICKETS FOR THE PRICE OF 1 TO FASHION WEEKEND SYDNEY! Simply buy here and enter password FWS12. The Frothers Gallery will have an exhibition going on there for the duration of the event, in the VIP lounge.
