G-Land Surf was looking ginormous first look I took at 7am. Must have just been some wild rogue sets, because the huge bombie sets I seen breaking were not really happening mid morning onwards. Still, there was some good sized waves to be had. 6ft when they came through, some a slight big bigger and plenty of 4-5fters inbetween as well. The wind was pretty SSE again, and the line-up was a bit wobbly all day. At times there was some serious current too. Most of the waves were going through Money Trees, but strangely enough there was the odd Pad set, going into some really shallow 1.7m tide Speedies.

I was first out at 10am (apart from someone who did a dawny but only managed to snap a board), and then people promptly followed suit. It never got really crowded, and there was always some sweep to deal with. Wasn't a lot of barrels to be had, but of course there was the odd sick one. Michael got a couple nice ones in his session. Water was very cold again.

One of our guests, Chris, is the bass player in a pretty known metal band called Mower. He and I went to Tigertracks after lunch, and the waves were pumping through non-stop there! Solid 3ft, current trying to pull ya too deep and too far out, making the right really suck up quite hard. Combined with an outgoing tide that wasn't very high to start with, and closeout 4ft sets reforming into the channel, there was no shortage of wave action. Some great wedgy sections to smack up.

As I type this I'm feeling really worn out from those 2 surfs. One surf with so much paddling then the opposite extreme of one surf with non-stop wave riding.

One of my first waves whilst still out alone... some size there...
