Tow in at Back Beach Lancelin

Bit of mechanical surfing at Lancelin's Back Beach Thursday. Pictures taken with a totally inadequate camera for the task but you can still get an appreciation of the size.

Show of Strength

After a reasonable surf down the road and a whole bunch of BBQ hot dogs at my joint a full display of HARDWARES came out for the punters to examine , some new and some not so but each and every one of them different .

Too many boards is never enough !

August Meet

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!

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!

Local Beachies
