Desperado

I realised this morning that I hadn't actually surfed on a surfboard for over a month which lead me to surfing this.

BP Groyne with a strong north easterly wind. Looked like some small wedges in the lee of the groyne. However as usual when there is north in the water the waves seem to peak everywhere except where you are sitting. After five waves on the Dhufish twinnie it was too cold to be bothered any more.

There is meant to be a front coming over the next few days. Maybe it will bring some waves but the winds are looking to be a bit weird in direction.

New Board

It has finally arrived - my new 6'9" Yahoo dhu-fish. This is the first time in about 6 years that I've had a board under 7' and I'm amping.

These boards are killer and suit both my "style" and the crap waves that I usually ride. They are perfect for the late 30 (okay 40) surfer who is the wrong side of the perfect BMI but likes to burn and spray grommets.

The board comes with a new fin box that allows a bit of movement of FCS fins and Hillzee tells me it surfs great as a twin fin.

The only problems is that it will only look this pristine and perfect until I wax and ride it.
