Hey-OOOOOO Christchurchians!!!
Sh1t pics
To be honest BC, it was 3ft and perrrfect orgasmic glass when we first arrived. I was supposed to be trip photographer, but I over-frothed and ended up being Mr Drop-in.
I surfed for an hour then the very moment I got out to take photos, it went cross onshore and got frikin Arctic, the glass disappeared and everyone's surfing went to crap.

No its true - he was dropping in on everyone.
There are a small handful of snaps shot from the carpark when we arrived that Marko might post which are weepingly beautiful. Both of you old women naysayers would pop your corks.

"But I thought it was first to your feet, honest". That's what I told that guy at Hickorys too...

I genuinely think first to feet should have it. Plus if you're up and it ain't gonna section, a little fade to the curl always helps establish your authority...
I also think that if you realise the 'opposition' was first to feet, you should get off the wave pronto, and catch the next one!!! .... Why you asking Wave!? 
mmmmmmmmmm...... I'm having a baaaad day!!

watched a few boys getting some nice ones out the bar tonight on dark.
Call it what you like. There were one or two 4 foot set waves, head and a half, but who cares? Was a primo surf with mates and a good mission. The hot whiskeys afterwards in the dark capped it off nicely.

Decisions decisions. Have a pass, but firewood and housework today, surf tomorrow when the wind turns I think... Hope I'm calling this right. Hope the pass lasts till tomorrow too.
Good move db,sounds like good times were had the other day fella's,a hot toddy to get the blood moving nice,could of done with one myself the water was rather fricken freezing.
nice nice nice, learn to read!

If by above you mean an angle of about 8 degrees, if that.

So I went after all, and I wouldn't call it 'epic', but I would call it 'classic'. Headhigh, just over, hollow as, glassy as.

whats that you have a sore ring piece.
There should be some mofo's around this week.
Yeah, Swellmap's saying 5-8ft for Wednesday... not sure how accurate that'll be tho'

Mc MoScO ........ " Da' 'REaL (mc) DEaL!*"
fark it all. i want 1m dumpsnot 3m swells
I think you'll see snow this week BC.
Too right - what a week - swell and snow.
And a shi7 load of rain,anyone seen taylors creek in full flow.
"As much as 1.2m of snow could fall above 700m in South Canterbury from today to Wednesday, with 50 centimetres to 70cm of snow to the same level elsewhere in Canterbury."
Also I predict some flushing river mouths. One gravel one in particular in my neighborhood I'm thinking of.
its been pouring up here. well and truely winter.

Blistery winds here. I surfed Diamond Head in a "victory at sea" fashion this morn.

i dont think BC will care?
is there any where in chch that will actually be able to handle that sort of swell if it does reach the proposed 6-8ft? i mean brighton has enough trouble on 4ft let alone 6-8 and taylors closes out on round the same size to!

where is your neighborood agian db
Oops - BP. Sorry man I didn't mean to insinuate you are a rabid boogen.
Jabes would be able to get out the back at Brights 6-8ft.
If the swell's got some angle on it, Taylors might reel some giant lefts off the headland. Would I surf it? Hell no. I've heard a tale of a certain kook club member getting standup pitted off that point though.
There is one certain town spot, but I can't name it. Raupo or Le Bons would be likely candidates as the wrap should tame it and knock a foot or two off the size.

I think you can guess Jelly. There's actually two possibles - one's usually dry, and the other runs underground to the sea, but if it floods and breaks open there will be fleepin hell to pay banks next weekend.
I carn't seem to get enough river action,almost to the point of addiction.
You said it DB - from Wed onwards there are some excellent albeit possibly short lived spots to check
Taylors can handle 6ft+ but not a straight E swell - I'm gonna run over for a look though as there won't be much other options. If its 8ft, I'll bring a certain 7' 1 gun - but it will be purely for show.
More mushy pics

mushy is better than jaken off. and that looks ready to be sliced .
just seen the news, diggers on a few rivers south digging away why bother,they will end up in the drink and just get in the way.
Off shore up high ,slight on shore lower ,cloud watching in the eye,no rain now,and a thick low band up nth.
classic weather show.
I'd like to be at Taylors right now.
