Quiet times on the forum and on the water. I have been watching this Surfer video occasionally to remind myself why we continue the search. Great music too. I hope it plays for you and provides some inspiration.

SJB,

I couldn't get the link to work. This one should work -

Cuttlefish - was this at Y?

I'm not sure if this footage was taken Sunday or the smaller, but still very solid Monday. I surfed a very cross-shore pointbreak on the Sunday. It was just super bumpy, I thought my board was going to break it bounced so much. The swell was bigger further south but the lines were just so long.

The backside beach breaks were offshore but by the time I got out of the surf the tide was pretty low.

In the following days there were waves all down the east coast.

From a few days ago.............there were actually TWO prone riders in the lineup at the same time...........I think that must be some kind of record-

That's the Creston Cowboy, Ed Walker. He was at the last Paipo-palooza in Cambria and is absurdly fun to surf with! Nice shots!

Hello Robert,

What's Ed story? A cowboy sounds ideally suited to windy waves in your part of the world.
