There were actually empty waves, fat but funky, with more push In Byron Bay Today,

It was pretty joyous, In Byron Bay Today. Seriously we got it so good here it’s almost ridiculous. Sometimes I forget and just take it for granted. The day was warm & sunny, with a really soft onshore wind and a slight increase in swell, not enough to get excited about. But enough to say, ‘hey let’s get wet.’ I couldn’t help but notice an intense little crowd in one particular place today hassling the crap out of each other. While watching this I also spotted groups of people carrying boards all the way from town to come and join the crowd. Just weird, En Route to surf in an already stupid crowd, they walked straight past some very clean, sweet and utterly empty waves. Now that’s just stupid. If you see an empty break when you have board under your arm, paddle out and surf it. Don’t drag that board all the way over to a crowded break when there are empty waves on offer. Spread out a bit, you’ll be really glad you did. Those who did make the effort to look beyond the crowd were handsomely rewarded for their efforts today. Because there were some really cute little waves to be had. They were fat but they had some push for a change so full rail roundhouses were the order of the day. In fact it was so nice I even put the equipment down in a  kind of  Byron style existential protest and went to have few waves for myself. Because you know what they say, all work and no play makes Ben a big cranky git, In Byron Bay Today.
