"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Southerly and small

Hello Friends, Had to be on deck early for a stint on 702 ABC with Simon Marnie, so grabbed a snap of the beach as soon as there was enough light. Wind is blowing pretty steadily from the SSW at 15-20 kts and the 1.5 metre swell is coming from the SSW at just 6 […]
