Yeap with one of the piha groms that started trying to tell me what to do after he stuffed his take off on a good wave and tried to blame me so i told him if he was any good he would made the drop anyway. He didnt take that too well. It was tane so i think i damaged his ego
Hopefully he gives u a wack for getting in the way, you kook

When there is 30 people in a line up there is always someone in the way. I hope he tries to wack me aswell
Yeah got one pretty heavy one that dealt to me on the end section haha.
That would cause one thick lip spudo
I had triplets today and I landed head first into the sand after the lip smashed me, got the hell headache nothing a bit of neck oil wont fix.
Have you tried Panadol?

hahaha.
Hows the waves been for you this week spud? Get anything decent at ya local?
Anyone hit it this morning? Reckoning The Bar would have been on with 4ft+ and low tide, no wind? Heck, even Mud would probably have been a go.
Makes me wonder why I didn't skip work. Please tell me it was crap and I didn't miss much.
just go this arvo? will be high tide but still good i reckon

At least that Dawn Patrol is looking very promising for Sunday with high tide at 6am and 5ft swell with a light offshore forecast.
The early bird catches the worm. Here's hoping.
xp just come for a wave with krank and i this arvo

Not feeling 100% (which is why I didn't roll out of bed for the early if I am being honest), but keen as, so I'll see how I go.
I get home at 6. May be able to hit Piha by 7ish or Mud @ 6.45. Where you guys based?
It's thursday and you're lining up a surf for sunday?!?

hahaha classic. Tonight was actually pretty nice at piha Some nice left and rights coming through next to lion rock. Snapped my leash on my last wave though and cant afford a replacement for another week or 2 so Ive gota get creative
Surfed mud last night. Was ok - about 3ft, cleanish. No decent banks, so lucky the swell was a little wobbly.
Still, worth the splash for sure. Looking forward to some gruntier waves over the weekend.
it was a bit bigger than 3ft at piha, and some pretty decent banks so good fun as krank said. got cramp in my calf late in the surf which was annoying as though, wanted to stay out longer but just couldnt.
not sure how good the weekend wil be though?
--------------------------------

you better drink water and do some calf raises to stop that
I get the cramping calf muscles too, strangely enough it happens every time I surf Daniels reef and almost always at Piha or Bethalls after a couple of hours. Never really happens anywhere else.
They were cramping this morning as I ducked through one of those little outside sneakers while I-Nick did a Reo directly above me. He's a coocky (fricken spell filter) one that one, thought I might have had tracks across my back for a moment.

I think you're the man for the job
I don't usually have any issue with him in the water (I don't know him as such) but today I decided to take the old minimal for a spin for old time sake. I'm pretty sure that instantly relegated me to 'low food chain' and therefore invisible.
Still, the waves were better than they looked, all in all a good wee session.

who's this mysterious i-nick. Is this your old mate Jon. Why the hell do I keep hearing about him and not know him by face (or maybe I do?). It's like he's some sort of cult hero or something.
Secondly, what the hell is BC doing in the Shore Boys thread. Is there that little to do in chch that he needs to invade our space?
head mostly with a few little bombs coming through every 1/4 hour or so. Looked really small from the carpark so better than expected with the wind on it

BC aint in Chch. He's a Whakatane lidder.

Whakatane eh? That explains alot (not sure how, but I feel like it does). That said, I do hear that the Whakatane Bar can turn it on big time when one of those evasive NE swells finally does turn up for a blink and you'll miss it visit.
*edited 08 Jan 2010 14:50
There are a few good spots in Whakatane and one of them is equally as good as the bar or the Heads as it's officially known, yet without the massive crowds.
Maketu has a few goodies as well

Yeah, heard some of the river mouths further down the BOP actually turn on epic "session of your life" type waves when the swells do finally come along. Have never been in the right place at the right time to see it for myself.
Don't get too smart, we got injuns down here to you know
injuns? please enlighten me? (do I really want to know?)
injins sorry

Actually it was surprisingly hollow on the high tide reforms. Got a few shacks out there. I was stoked.

you take this soft
do any of you guys surf mud on the low tide?gets pretty hollow at low, but needs to be about1.5mts for good waves. mud seemed to get a bit fat at high, well that was when i was there, spose the banks are always changing though.
when i first started surfing there i'd head to the southern end..kinda between shag and the rocky point bit. it was a bit of a paddle but hardly anyone surfed the left....then it disappeared for a few yrs.
also...just south again on a small swell there's this mussel reef that can form a good little righthander, only surfed that one a coupla times.
most of the best waves i've had there were at the north end though...rights and a left that headed towards muriwai..man that wave was excellent.

What about the lefts down the southern end of the beach?

not sure which ones you mean Spud...^^^up there(between shag & rockpoint) was a long left...thats the one i used to surf mostly alone as most surfed through the middle areas of the bay.
--------------------------------
XXIst sentry scribe
wow spud thats amazing, at west end it woud have been mush. Low tide is hollow for port ohope, got some good waves in when i was a boy
Who here has surfed port waikato reef? while I was down there today i went for a walk and had a look. Out the back it looks like a very serious wave.
Nice waves to be had at sunset beach this arvo though got pretty gnarly towards the end.
