a few mins of winter

morning texture

there was too many in the water already at dawn this morning, a wintery posso's dawn.
I'm favoring the "other place" . that great little righthander that is working right now.
Still, posso's remains my morning ritual.

inside out

This morning, on Ron's advice, andymac and my good self paddled out to an empty outside posso's - having always favored the inside side of things, it took a little to get in place, too wide, to deep, then i found it... whilst i didnt surf my best i sure enjoyed myself. Keith joined us, Lochie too, and we all shared a few great waves, the crowd grew by four after an hour or so - long paddle back to insides, which by then had thinned in crowd to 4 or 5, and we carried on the good work.
I surfed today for nearly 4 hours
Today at posso's a whale came in close
I shared waves with friends
I sure am tired now
Tired
...and happy

slow to heal, but not that slow

the day started beautifully with a few peelers at semi crowded poss. But it was fun - its was out of this world to be back in the brine.

The board is back, the knee held up, just...and took the small ones, stood tall, and trimmed. and thats is.

The afternoon saw a few waves had at backwash alley, Grove at high tide. Still, fun.

Here are two shots of one of my favorite dudes to share a wave with...loves to wait, watch, hoot, and above all, go left!

its back!

first of all, big thanks to everyone paid interest to the terrible theft, and kept them peeled for the missing log, posting pictures on blogs, having posters in shop windows, and being nice to me when i wandered around like a miserly miserable log bereft man. Im grateful, and reminded daily why i live here. This community, of which i am a very new arrival has been welcoming, generous and warm since the day i arrived. The theft of the board shook that, but didnt change it, it was still an amazing place, and still is. I love where i live and i love being around the people that love it too. So thanks again.

So, i was sat in the living room, miserly still, missing the board, sorting out documents for the insurance man who is coming tomorrow...Mr. Boyd steps through the gate with a slight smile and gestures "come here" with a single finger...my jaw drops..."no" im mouthing...he's nodding and smiling...the board is back!

It was found by a lady walking her dog down Collendina way, behind the caravan park, hiding in the dunes...she dug it down, saw the logo, located Dave, and Dave picked it up and brought it home.
Big Big Big thanks to Bromwyn, the dog walking superhero.
Big Big Big thanks to Dave for bringing it straight home.
And Big Big Big thanks to everyone again.
Everything is awesome once more!
