Postcards on the way home

Postcards from Lennox
Hello Friends, Spent the day chasing waves. Nothing too remrkable, but there were waist to sometimes a bit bigger sets, so we got wet. And this afternoon, for a brief period we surfed Boulder with chest to shoulder plus bomb sets and only 4 or 5 people in the bath-warm water. You wouldn’t be dead […]
Postcards from Lennox
Hello Friends, Sorry, kinda blew it on pictures front. Went surfing when waves were looking their best. Size up here was in the waist to occasionally chest or even shoulder, but period short so it was quite the challenge getting into ’em. Tomorrow looks like being even smaller. Oh well, that’s surfin’.
Postcards from Arrawarra etc
Hello Friends, Small along the north coast this morning, but there were a few little waves to be had. We found some mal-able waist plusses at a sideshore Arrawarra headland. Water was super warm and we did get a few longish, if choppy slides. Can also report that the Woolgoolga-Ballina roadworks slow one’s progress back […]

Swell and sunny skies for now
