Surfing: Trap Wind Direction: lightNW/variable Wind Stength: light F 1-2 Surf / Sea State: glassy then a bit ruffled Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: monsoon Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Ventured into town before first light as a swell was rumoured and Ive not
seen much surf for months...By the time Id changed into my suit Baxter was
already paddling out in the dark and the usual suspects were gathering in
the gloom of the carpark. I followed Baxter out in the dark (around 6.45 am
ish)and so shortly afterwards did the inevitable hurd...but despite the
growing crowd and even a couple of canooooistas and a scattering of
speedbumps, all was pretty mellow. I even remembered how to stand up and
which way round to point my stick. Had a few nice clean waves in the 2-3ft
range (nothing spectacular) and got out around 8.15 as the crowd started to
morph into the flock of aimless rubber sheep often characteristic of dear
old Trap when its small and the swell starts to drop off... Saw the day
break through the teeming rain and a dolphin out the back, grinned a fair
amount and had a heck of a good time damn it... Cant wait for some
more.
N.B.
My Bulldog leash with a lifetime guarantee broke (only two years old,some
life huh !) I did manage to bodge it for the session though....Beware
Bulldog bullshit !
