Bit of a mix of longer videos for a wet, stay at home Sunday.
We'll start with the second episode in Billabong's pre-Chopes series
Bruce Irons got smashed during last year's massive Chopes session. He talks to Surfer Magazine but I can't embed the video so click here.
Fox has released a feature movie of its sponsored surfers.
And finally nothing to do with surfing other than it was in the water. Regardless it is pretty amazing !

Visitors
A whale has had a leisurely day cruising just offshore from Marlston Hill accompanied by a pod of dolphins.
Just as you feel safe because its to shallow for a big shark to come in a frisking massive whale floats past !!!!!!
On the negative, no waves today and not looking much like it is going to improve. Before the fog cleared it looked like it might have been okay but wasn't.
Really south swell at 0.34 metres and 12 seconds.

Spring in the city
Another almost perfect spring day. The winds have been light but onshore and thee is still plenty of swell rolling through.
BP was the pick today with rideable waves from Barnacles to the groyne. Juniors was nice with some lefts and rights off the rip and a few wider ones. The low tide made the reef pretty sketchy but the odd one pushed off the bubbles for a short ride.
I surfed a couple off the reef and then a few out of a rip a little further north.
There was one guy at Juniors getting nice waves for his drop knee style and he was joined by some kids wagging school.
Looks like tomorrow might be similar but with light se winds early before a sse change. The swell is meant to still be hanging around the two metre mark at Naturaliste.

Whale World
Another whale just off the beach south of Hungry Hollow but the worst surfing year in memory continues.
Today is sunny, offshore with swell and a highish tide but the waves are crap locally. By this time of the year BP reef should be firing, the Clam should be breaking way out and there should be beachies stretching from Dallyelup to the Bay. Instead we have the swell rolling in unhindered to close out on the beach.
I suppose I could drive south but I don't have all day to waste.
Roll on 2011.

Whales
Finally able to shuffle things around so that I could get a very early surf in before work. Headed down the beach at first light to see that there was still a little swell and a light northerly blowing. There was a bit of a bubble off the surf club so I stopped for a look and it was a whale.
Watched it for a little while but still wanted a surf. BP was a disappointment. The swell was very inconsistent and the high tide was stopping it from hitting the banks. No matter how hard I tried I wasn't seeing anything surfable.
On the way home I decided to check the Clam. Now there were two whales. I was on the new lookout by myself but no more than five minutes later the carpark was packed with whale watchers.
