couple of paddlers







I have been having heaps of fun at the last couple shippies swells just paddling in on my 6'2 shortboard. I have just been putting a tow fin set up in and the board seems to hold off the bottom well and hold its line in the tube!!!
















Fun times.








I had two wipeout's this day both from paddling, I got barrelled before the step on this one and then got bucked off as I went over the step mid face.
My first wipeout was the worst, I got really compressed and was coughing up bits of blood for the next two days.

The Weekend


Nice SE swell on Tasmnia's east coast!
On Saturday we did a recon. up the coast to try and surf a slab of reef that a few of us have had our eyes on for some time.
It ended up throwing out the goods and still has a lot to offer.

We will keep hunting this one for sure!!!
Stu gibson's link below for images of the right slab

Saturday Night after surfing the slab and a fun beachie we headed to Brook Phillip's wipeout party at the lewisham tavern.

A good group of crew and some tunes from chi roh made for good times and plenty
of mayhem.
