On Monday WA had a public holiday, so we took the opportunity (with wind and swell conditions aligning favourably) to go on an excursion to Boranup beach and give the Prado her first run on sand. It was an awesome day, and we pretty much scored a bank to ourselves. Our mate Rita who’s over from Sydney came with us (she took some of the photos below and that’s her on the first two wave shots too). Luca? He slept through most of it.

This was at Bears yesterday afternoon…

Quick question - does anyone have issues seeing the video? I’m using Quicktime as a format, but assume most of you on PCs would have iTunes installed by now anyway, so should have the player already installed.

Been a while between posts. Sorry. You know how it is… Anyway, on with it.
Remember this board? No more:

So last weekend I got this:

6′0×18.15″x2.15″ JC Tuflite II, Shane Dorian model. Smooth as a hot knife through butter. Given my past history of destroying surfboards, we’ll see how she holds up.

Does it get any better?

… and I surfed in boardies. Sorry, Jane.

I ended up staying the night in Byron, but the pulse of swell from the afternoon before didn’t hang around until morning. So I started making my way south, stopping in to check first Tallows (nothing doing - still some size, but very messy) and then Broken Head - bingo! It looked pretty good when I first got there so I went out for a wave, but it rapidly deteriorated - mainly closeouts.
