Gone surfing: Bendalong

It was one of those deals where you and a mate unexpectedly have a window of opportunity to make a quick surfin’ sortie. A fun little east swell was cracking in Sydney when we left, heading south to see what we could find. Had a look at Lake Conjola/Green Island on the off-chance, but it really wasn’t firing up. So, we headed back north to see what Bendalong might offer…

  • Not many opportunities to get water shots in a beachbreak, but for once I was paddling out as PB jagged one.
  • What could be more fun on a sunny afternoon at an empty beach?
  • Me and PB and one other guy on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Bendalong.
  • Clear waters. A little cooler than Sydney, maybe, but not so's you'd notice.
  • Bendalong peak does its thing. Typical set wave. There were more peaks like this down the beach too.
  • Big boys lounging at the Bendalong caravan park as we walked back from the sesh.
  • Paul's Famous Hamburgers on Princes Hwy, Sylvania. The perfect post-surf repast.
