My Quiver

Introducing Zak......welcomed to the family at 2.34pm this afternoon, 6'3 / 183/4, 21/2.......mum and board are doing fine.

I bought him from Yahoo surfboards in Dunsborough (awesome guys, great service and a real, authentic surf shop!). He was shaped locally for Renee, whoever she is. Not a ding on him.

Zak joins the Grubb (6.3 / 19 / 2 1/4), Len (6'3 / 19 / 2 7/8 ), Dicko (who is permanently retired due to ongoing injuries), the Mini Mal (7'2) and the blue spacca board (my very first). He will be accompanying me on my travels to Indonesia and Central America later this year. Yew!

Trigg Point

Trigg Point is the most crowded wave I surf on a regular basis. To be honest, I've only just started surfing the point.........not because I don't think I can't make it but because its full of little rippers who have that place wired, WIIIIRRRED.....there is little room for a mid thirties women who hasn't quite nailed her right hand takes offs...........

But today.........something worked. I finished training at 8.30am and thought I'd check out the point on the way home. There were 10 people on it........which for a Saturday morning with swell was something very unusual......I waxed up, zipped up the wettie and headed out. I sat right on the Point.

And I took it and I made it.......the bomb wave of the biggest set of the day. It was the third wave and the first two cleaned everyone out. I was there in the spot and I pulled it off.

I swear people where cheering as I was heading down the line. All. The. Way. To. The. Beach.......

It was the only wave I took all day but I've been smiling all week. All goddamn week.
