Last night i stopped and thought about what i was doing....
i found myself sitting at my computer researching chuck nor
ris movies while watching bill and teds excellent adventure
and eating a mixture of m&m's, skittles and salted peanuts
. I then thought to myself "I should be doing something con
structive"...the scariest part however, was the fact that t
hat was the most constructive thing i could think to do :(
My brother gave me a call at work yesterday and asked if i
wanted to head to the beach afterwards, i said yeah why not
, it was a relatively hot day and the sun sets nice n late
in summer. I arrived home at about 6.00 just as he did, we
got ready in a flash and sped off toward our favourite Metr
o beachie. We calculated about 50 minutes of surf time bef
ore the sun set and the sharks came out to play, so we got
there and i reckon my brother was dropping into a nice righ
t hander before i even got out the car, he was eager. We go
t down there just in time to witness a perfect peeling righ
t hander....and about 50 surfers floating around  so
we dumped our towels, chucked on our fins and in we went, t
he water was beautiful, like a spa. After a few futile atte
mpts to duckdive some waves i got out there and waited....t
he sets were pretty regular but there were only two/three d
ecent waves per set....i didn't get on one for a long time
and then i realised i was too far out so in i paddled and w
aited. The first three or so waves i got on i acid dropped
as i was too late but i used the whitewash to practice my c
arves and lines. After i got over the fear of the wave brea
king on my head i was able to get on some nice, bigger than
my usual size waves which were so much fun. I tried a barr
el roll on one but landed upside down, then on my last wave
i tried aother move  I basically hit the lip and th
rew my board in the air (while still holding onto it) and l
anded and kinda rolled back onto my board...it was nothin b
ut hopefully it looked cool from the beach  i did
eventually do a barrel roll but..i was underwater at the ti
me : All in all it was a great little session with excelle
nt waves and a beautiful sunset and all i wanna do now...is
go back in. Take it easy.

it is soooooo hot here right now...luckily i'm in an air co
nditioned office...too bad im in an air conditioned office
and not at the beach where i belong!!...it's as if i had th
ese gills implanted for nothing!! it's like 35 degrees!!..a
nd i bet the waves are barrelling perfectly, with a beautif
ul glassy face...hmm....tell me what you think of this!: "i
like my waves like i like my women. Wet, big lipped and sc
reaming "Ride me!!" hahhahahaha sorry to all the ladies...i
'll stop now
My brother (arzosah, check out his profile) and i decided t
hat we should have an early night on new years eve to go fo
r a surf the next day. We rose with the sun the next mornin
g and threw the gear in the car and off we went. Although t
he winds were a bit off and the swell wasn't great i found
myself unable to sit still in my seat, which was bad consid
ering i was driving. We arrived at my favourite beach in th
e Perth metro area, Secret Harbour. Always good waves and a
very friendly sandbar 30 or so metres out to rest on in th
e bigger swells. My brother was kind enough to lend me his
rashy so i didn't freeze, coz it was very very cold. The sw
ells weren't anything amazing...they were more practice wav
es, i landed an unintentional 180 which made me feel great.
My brother went in after about 30 minutes to get warm and
i stayed out a bit longer....when i decided to go in he was
walking down to tell me of a better break a little further
down the beach with no one on it, so off we went. The sets
took a while to come in but when they did they were nice a
nd clean barrels (thanks to the now easterly blowing winds)
perfect size for me, perhaps a bit small for my brother th
ough. We stayed out on that break for about 30 more mins be
fore it got too damn cold to stay out, so in we went. Altho
ugh we weren't out there for very long I caught some of the
best waves of the summer and it was a very fitting surf fo
r the beginning of a new year. Cheers
I went out this morning to buy my new LMNOP Rockstar Limite
d Edition, forked out a heap of cash and it's worth every c
ent. I nearly punched the clerk in the face when he drilled
the hole for the leash plug...jeez!...drilling holes throu
gh my new board!! from the surf store i went straight to th
e beach with my brother. The surf wasn't as bad as we expec
ted it to be and their were a few pretty big swells coming
in...i got dumped on about 80% of the waves i caught :( And
a word to the wise, make sure you put suncream on the back
of your legs.....i'm gonna have the wierdest tan. I'm head
ed out to the beach again tomorrow to give the board anothe
r run...wish me luck!!
 Last saturday was the best day in a long time to go
for a surf, it's been overcast and freezing here since sum
mer began wtf?!?!, i hate to say it but i am a relatively n
ew bodyboarder, i love it but it's only recently i've reall
y got into it so i'm here to share my best bb experience to
date, pardon me if it's a bit pathetic  So anyway i g
et up at 6.00 and jump on the train and head to the beach,
a decent easterly is blowing and the swell was a decent siz
e for a beginner with random large sets rolling in. I get t
o the beach and as soon as i put my stuff down the shark al
arm sounds, so i'm sitting on my board for the next half ho
ur watching the swimmers come in and the perfect empty barr
els rolling in, then about 10 mins after the alarm stopped
i thought "F*** this!" and in i went. I'm new but i like to
think i'm relatively confident, i was out the back wi
th two other surfers. We all paddled for a decent size wave
but when they both beat me to it i had to pull off, much t
o my disappointment, but as i turned to look for the next w
ave i saw an even bigger swell building, and it was all up
to me to catch it, so as i paddled i noticed i was a bit to
o late and the wave was really forming underneath me, the l
ip forms and throws me out, i hold on as i acid drop about&
nbsp;3 feet and slam onto the flat, speeding off on a nice
right hander. It was the biggest wave of the day, my first
wave of the day and due to the shark alarm, everyone on the
beach was watching the water...i like to think they were a
ll watching me and thus sharing in my favourite bb experien
