Its Auckland anniversary weekend. Not sure who else that extends to (maybe up North??), but Monday is holiday. Whats more important is that the forecast is for 9/10 – 10/10 surf on the West Coast. The port has to be on for one, if not both, days. Not too massive either – nice 4ft-6ft and clean by the looks of things. Plus the weather forecast is for nothing but sunshine. Be great to see as many people out as possible. Let me know if you are keen and what day(s) you can make it?
Report has dropped off a bit now. Swell picks up on Sat and holds through Sun, just, and then begins to drop on Monday. So Sunday sounds like a better day than Monday. EDIT: Its dropped off even more. Looking like 2ft or so with the possibility of slightly larger sets coming in. Be great for those that aren't super confident in the surf.
I'm thinking about it man. Just hoping for my knee to sort it self out. Might take the Raider if it still to sore on Sunday.
Hahaha Yeah raider!! I rock out on my one when im feeling amature spec and need to make myself feel less useless too :lol: :lol:
Would the SJ be ok with out hood straps and limiting rope? I wont be doing any thing crazy just putting around. The other problem I have is getting the wife out to the ocean side she is also keen for a ride. Cant fit two on a JS.
It'll be fine without those. You can slash away to your hearts content. Just don't take on anything that you don't feel confident with. Re the life partner. You can drive onto the beach at the surf club and head north up to the river mouth which is where we come through. But there ain't much beach at the surf club over high tide (not sure when that is on sun). Otherwise I'm sure someone, maybe the General, will double your wife out.
Yeah no problem if someone needs a ride out to the beach, just let me know if I need to bring a spare vest.
Thanks General my wife has a vest so no problem there. I am tryng to get my cousin to come and bring the raider but if he cant then that would be awesome of you.
