I have been surfing this week.

And i am now standing up and turning. I even did a re-entry yesterday.

life is grand. the sun is out, the swell is small and I am going again shortly.

 

I shall shred again!

You have bailed Spook?

 

The point hasn't been that good the last few weeks due to crap swell. We have had a spring pattern develop which brings the dreaded northerlies. Still have been a few sessions at other places. (I don't surf the point unless it's good!)

Love that wave. So perfect.

 

Indo- Talk about thread revival. I found this comment from you in 2006.

"

I'll check out that vid, and fix a few of mine up soon."

 

Soon?? it's been three years. lol

Yeah Mantas

 

I was going to say it is world class but thought I might be overstepping the mark.

 

But I love it except when it gets to about double and then it gets scary.

 

I have scars all over my body from it.

 

And got a compression fracture in 2 vertabrae from going over the falls on to dry reef on the inside a couple of years ago.

 

But still love surfing it.

Yes scares me too, tomorrow afternoon I will be out there shitting myself.

 

But fingers crossed no injuries this year cause I am going to the snow.

 

Never surfed the bluff though Kokodo just gone past to Gnarloo.

 

When were you over here.

Yes time flies.

 

That was when I was working in the Alps.

 

The Bluff would have been pretty remote back then.

I have looked at it a few times and it didn't look like it was firing. so we continued on.

Mantas, you will have to give me a page ref so I can see what vid I was talking about! With all this spring weather I may find myself with some time up my sleeves.

 

I've always wanted to go to Jakes. Whats heavier? Blacks or jakes? Blacks would be hard to beat I think.

 

I love that funneling right that is up that way below the cliffs that you get bazzed on take off. It's been in heaps of vids, most recently with Parko & AI in filthy habits

I first went up there in 1987. Not a lot there then. The marine life was incredible. Sharky too! I've been back a couple of times, the last one was in 2002 to visit my brother. He spent 2 winters at Naraloo.

Indo- Dont know about that right hander near a cliff. Too busy surfin the world class lefts. Ive only surfed Jakes at 3-5 foot. not too heavy at that size.
Strangly enough the locals don't seem to get interested in it until it gets to 4 foot, then they rule the line up in a tight pack.

re: Bluff.

There was a TV story done by some French producers before I got there about doods who lived in the cave..

There was nothing there when i was there. a few shacks and a stone hut up the hill.

I got some classic waves there, but i spent a whole season there and picked tomatoes in carnarvon. I even surfed a cyclone swell by myself in January!
