42 degrees

2012-01-27T19:48:00.000-08:00

its Saturday and yet another day with the forcast temp to be over 40,,,,,we have actually had
a good run of swell to go with the hot weather (but no banks in Perth) so i did the dawn patrol
4am out of town to beat the heat + crowds

as uncrowded as the pics look, only an hour later there were 80+ surfers in the water and it was getting
too busy......the outer reefs were really good too but with so many shark attacks and sightings this summer
i gave the long paddle a miss.

Windy Arse Wednesday

2012-01-18T01:07:00.000-08:00

Couple around up north this morning, breezy, shifty and hard to get into but there was the odd rifling little keg to be had. One that made it to the beach a virgin was one of the best waves I've ever seen up there.Crowd was very mellow, most I saw in the water was seven. Unfortunately as the wind dropped so did the swell.

Was worth the drive this morning although the arse dropped out of that swell pretty quickly, still got a couple..... Check the tyre tracks just above the waterline in that first pic- bit more solid than it looks. Mind you it was the only one I saw like that.

MIDWEEK WAVES

2011-12-14T23:50:00.000-08:00

finding a wave around xmas is difficult, you have to do some k's and have alot of luck, get up at 5am and try to beat the wind, and the crowd........

actually managed to surf small injy carpark to myself, i thought that would be a good thing but with long lulls and lots of dark shadows in proven noah territory i soon learnt that its not that great an experience

2011-10-29T01:02:00.000-07:00

there were'nt too many with a long wait for the sets but i'd rather surf than meet the queen, more of a mal wave than a kneelo wave, the banks are still really deep, there was the odd good wave as you can see from the pics

CLUB MEET - OCTOBER

2011-10-23T22:17:00.000-07:00

end of the month this w'end and NOT looking very good at this stage so no club meet
planned, if the swell does manage to come up on Saturday morning and you want a
surf then wedge might be just surfable

Sunday morning part 2

2011-10-15T22:51:00.000-07:00

two good sunday's in a row...very rare in Perth, really good waves at Scarborough this morning but it did'nt last long, the swell got close to 4.5 meters with a clean nor-east wind, the crowd factor was there and with guys like Antman sitting out the back pulling in really deep on the easily o'head bombs, it wasnt easy to snag a decent one (the fisheye lense setting on the gopro makes the waves look half their size

Scarborough Beach

2011-10-10T22:29:00.000-07:00

sounds like some good waves were had up past wedge on the w'end....i dipped out
but surfed scabs almost everyday last week....couple of very early sessions felt a bit
sharky and with good reason....Oct - Nov are proving to be very dodgey months on
the West Coast

i opted for the shorter drive on Sunday back to Scabs....busiest day of the week
with a inter-club comp being set-up but still a few nice waves

CLUB MEET THIS SUNDAY 9th October

2011-10-05T17:37:00.000-07:00

Looks like it is ON for the club gathering this coming Sunday 9th October.

Its looking pretty decent size wise and wind at this stage, so I’ll call it for Wedge, 7am meet at the turn off before you enter the shacks. We will likely surf further up the beach as per last time. I’ll keep you posted but put it in your diary.

Cheers

CLUB MEET GRANDFINAL SATURDAY - cancelled

2011-09-29T18:40:00.000-07:00

August Meet

2011-08-26T23:06:00.000-07:00

a nice cold start to the morning and a fresh new swell was hitting the beachies at Secret Harbour,
was actually looking a bit too big for the banks and the swell was meant to increase during the day.....
but it died off a bit and we had a mixed bag of waves with a couple of purple patches during the morning,
i didnt get time to take many pics but here are a few from the last ten minutes of the guys surfing....and
a big thanks to Griz for the bbq after

Good luck!

2011-08-26T01:47:00.000-07:00

Good luck in the morning boys, this is from this morning, was pretty good early but dropped really fast. I can't make it, have fun!

Perth Kegs

2011-08-10T23:24:00.000-07:00

Surfed the wave below with Todd Sherwood this morning and to say we scored is an understatement. Proper 3ft grinding left hand pits, some were round, most were square. Made two waves in 3 hours but got shacked on every wave. Todd went in after an hour and a half or so and I was sitting out the back thinking "what the hell are you doing?"
Found out when I came in he'd copped his board to the head and has concussion.
Some of the best waves I've ever surfed in Perth.

Hump day

any old kneeboards out there ? see the following email from Graham

Hi Graham

I am working on a feature film called Drift set in the 70's about the surfing culture and begining of the 'surf industry' at that time. I am seeking a spoonboard and some kneeboards as I mentioned on the phone.
We are looking to hire a number of Knee boards from the late 60s/early 70s to use as Set Dressing (never gets ridden or put in the water) and were wondering if any of your members had some?
Also we need a new (in the 70s) looking Spoon board and are looking to either get one made or to buy an old one and we would get it fixed up.

The best way to get in touch with me is to call (on the mobile) or send an email.

Cheers

a nice cold start to the morning but luckily the wind had died and the forecast was completely wrong,

the swell was too small for Leighton, too bad because it was super clean, the call was made to head upto Brighton since that can handle a deep tide....some ok waves and no crowd so we got out there....really good to see a couple of new kneelo's turn up, click the link for the vid

2011-06-22T05:20:00.000-07:00

This joint has been pretty good of late, hard to surf though. Really wedgey drops and a crew of local spongers that have got the joint wired and just keep pushing you back further onto the bubble, which of course sucks dry on the take off. Little pricks, I need some kneelo company so we can shepherd. Some pics of yesterday...

Metro Waves!!

2011-06-17T04:36:00.000-07:00

Finally some metro banks! Surfed a north metro booger haven this morning for a test run on the new board.

Head high maybe a bit more on the sets, thick wedging A frames with really hollow punchy rights.

Got pitched on three solid ones in a row and still have water coming out my snoz every time I bend over to pick up one of the kids. It's actually quite satisfying to see my snot dripping on them for a change.

New board is SICK! Thanks Dave.

The truth is out there.....

2011-06-17T04:22:00.000-07:00

In the search for a decent set of kneepads without spending hundreds of dollars I came across these. It's a kneepad off one of the clubbie nipper boards, cut in two and a bit for the kick pad on the tail. I had planned on getting some of this

to lay over these pads and do away with wax altogether but was too much of a tight arse to spend the dosh. Had my first surf on this today and it works really well. I believe the pads are available thru Shapers Australia if anyone is keen.
Very happy with the end result, even if my board does look like something out of The X Files.

Club Clobber

Well gang winter has well and truly arrived as the recent posts below would spell out . One thing was obvious was the crew present were feeling it to in part due to the manky , out dated and generally past the used by date of their attire .

Easy fix , look to your left , click onto the link then bust out a new wardrobe of the finest club clobber available . Numerous club logo design choices , heaps of garment choices for you and the family and unfrigintold colour options so you cut a mean path wherever you choose to step out this winter . All delivered to you front door so the only reason to step into a surf shop this winter , is for a block of wax .............that's if they know what one is!

See you all at the Norfolk this Thursday 16th for our club meet .

Hey all,
looking at ordering a set of these: http://www.ksusa.org/Forum/album_showpage.php?pic_id=27883
from Casey on KSUSA.
Anyone else want a set to cut down on shipping? Cost for the pad is $55usd shipping to WA $40usd, shipping will be the same for up to 3 or 4 sets....

Another newby

Picked mine up today too, another Katana. Stringerless epoxy with carbon rails and deck.
5'10" by 23" by 2.5" rounded pin, deep single concave from nose to the engine room then into deep double with chine rails.
Have added an extra set of plugs so it can be surfed as a quad or a twinzer and more rolled rails than my other Katana. Weighs 3.4kg with all six fins in, so pretty damn light too. Can't wait to get this wet...
