Finally back in the surf after 3 weeks of recovering from a
jarred shoulder and suffering a massive swell drought... w
ent down to Bendalong, I was so keen to get out t
here i ended up getting pumped and hammered myself on
my first wave and lost one of my brand new fins! Haha, damn
! They were blue T2's i got brand new for $10.00 at the Tow
nhall SDS sale, so i can't really complain, i still ha
ve my Churchies (and they bloody well float too!!!). I also
took a chunk out of my hip when i hit the sand bank. 
That really killed but it was worth it, i got some pretty g
ood air off that wave before i got smashed :)

Went t
o Mystics in the afternoon. There were some pretty good wed
ges out there but a little too onshore for my liking, still
heaps of fun but. Didn't get as many waves as i had hoped
- just had a little play and took it easy after t
he working i copped at Bendo.

Now i'm back in the ci
ty of seedy Sydney at my desk at work... i've driven in tod
ay and will be again tomorrow because the surf's still mean
t to be pretty decent for today and tomorrow afternoon.
