Chris and sea bass surfed flynn's this morning ,4' clean waves with gavin colman and only a couple of others. They came out again with me this afternoon for some choppy lumpy waves. Met neil luke, talked about boards, toured the island ,and are ready to do it again tomorrow. The weather is changing "again" and the swell is rising , so tomorrow should be another good day for surf. Albert ,Sam, Chayne, Simon and others are arriving this afternoon so we will all surf together in the morning. The boys are having a great time perfecting their aussie accents and adjusting to the "aussie" way .Only a couple of days till the comp starts and it is looking good for weather and waves , and with 108 entries it will be a top weekend.

on their face.here's the forecast for PI:
Fri: Bumpy 4-6ft surf at Woolamai. Light S/SW winds ahead of a fresh afternoon sea breeze.
Sat: Lumpy 4-6ft surf at Woolamai with a possible late increase. Light and variable winds ahead of a fresh afternoon sea breeze.
Sun: Fairly solid 5-6ft surf at Woolamai, possibly a little larger at first. Light and variable winds tending S/SE'ly in the morning ahead of a fresh sea breeze.
Because it's an island it's possible to go around to the other side if there is enough swell - to ride offshore reef breaks!

friday arvo and woolies was a mess
so after a couple of laps of the island
Red's Coopers crew went to Summerland ... the penguin parade ( centre crack )
and I think I spotted the groms
one was on a Blast
many kneeboards ... perhaps all were on kneeboards ... very good to see
they will meet lots of people and see many surf styles and techniques
and many, many kneeboard designs
