surf

flying to bali in august (via Qantas – good prices from their website) – planning on staying in kuta for only a few days, then it’s off to….. XXXX???? Not sure – but I’d like to get outta Kuta.

anyway, yay! :)

hooray! there were waves at curl curl this morning. greg and I hit the surf about 6.40am for a before-work surf. the swell was of a decent size, but the tide was too high, the wind offshore and the waves too fat to really get a decent ride in.

managed to get one decent wave, but I jumped up too far forward on the board and couldn’t turn properly, which resulted in a bit of stack after takeoff. boo!

was a frustrating experience, because with the right conditions it would have been awesome. too bad I can’t get back out there this afternoon! low tide’s at 2.30pm, so the time is now (as I write this) to head on down.

just went for a morning surf at my local, Curl Curl in Sydney, Au. After a week of completely FLAT waves, it was a relief to at least see some swell out there.

Had one good left hander that I got semi-barrelled in, the memory of that baby will keep me going for a few days :)

Hopefully the swell will pick up soon, I need some waves bad!

The other event coming up is sri lanka in feb/mar 2006, cheap airfares over there. Just have to ‘lock it in’ with my bank balance and my mates, then it’s on!
