G-Land keeps on giving us all really good-fun waves.  The point was not lighting up like it can, but it sure was setting up some really long rides up the reef at Kong’s and Fan Palms.  Set’s were maxing at about 10 foot faces and pretty consistent.  Plenty of pulses that would last for 25 minutes and spread everyone out….but not too many people to spread out in the first place.

Fan Palms was real nice.  Overhead sets coming through and holding up a beautiful transition to carve on.  Ever so rarely, one would come through and barrel and those are always a great surprise since you’re not really expecting a barrel there.

I paddled out at the keyhole and went way up reef on a unridden 6’2″ fish that carries about the same amount of volume as an 8’6″ gun.  Great day to see how it felt and great board to ride down the line on a few waves that ran for 400 yards.   Not much effort to make it through those flatter sections.

Wind was good today once again.  Still giving thanks for that!!!

It’s nice that I can write the word OFFSHORE and it not reflect my hope for another day.  The “dry-season” trades blew across the Blambangan Peninsula at their common time of 10 o’clock.  G-Land was a fun 4 to 6 foot (faces) with a few, but rare 8 footers.  Most of the action was happening in the lower Kongs/upper Moneys reef sections.  That little extra south in the wind created too much surface chop for upper Kongs and there wasn’t enough energy and direction to get further down reef.

Those days that G-Land is far from hollow…like today… (more…)

G-Land Bobby’s Surf Camp guests were stoked to see a bit of juice running down the Money Trees reef this morning. While it was only 3-4ft, it was the first time in about a week that we’ve seen some decent swells come down past Kongs! An offshore wind picked up as (more…)
