Not much doin’ today, so just a quick pic….The Goldcoast became a bit of a lay day as the day moved on with small messy little waves rolling through. Not the nicest weather-wise either with a fair amount of cloud and rain periods and scouring the scene. The beauro are even calling storms for the rest of the week, don’t know about that, but also looks like the swell might pick up a bit later in the week with some southerlies forecast.

 

 

Upside, inverted, turn over or switch.  Getting the board inverted looks cool. Here are the remainder of images from the week, some from Burleigh and some from Dbah. Unfortunately looks like the surf might die off for a couple of days so hope you were out and enjoyed   the recent swell. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it picks up again sometime pretty soon… have a good weekend anyways.

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like the wind might be easing back over the next few days and hopefully temperatures warm up a little again before winter really kicks in. The recent southerlies brought a chill right up the East Coast with a lot of guys dragging the wetties out for the first time. These pics were taken before the chill and while the waves were relatively clean and clear on Sunday morning with the sun shining, showcasing some of the action at Dbah.

 

 

 

Hand down, trawler, debris and swimming prohibited. The amount of debris washed onto the sand at Duranbah is quite incredible. See the size of the “tree” below, next to the booger? Wouldn’t want to hit that. Dangerous swimming conditions too, but the waves were a-pumpin’ so…nuff said. Always a good spot to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A beautiful morning was Saturday. The sun was out (finally after all the rain) and so were the crew. The nice weather and decent waves brought the masses to the beaches up and down the Gold Coast for the weekend. We travelled from Duranbah to Burleigh Saturday morning and collected these shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonder if we will have a day like yesterday?

It poured down over night, then poured again this morning. All forecasts called for rain for the rest of the week but as it turned out we were suprised by the weather change. Clear blue skies giving welcome relief from the foul weather and brightening up the day for many. Hope you were able to enjoy it, and fingers crossed it stays clear for a little while longer.

Below are some shots of Duranbah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Tuck in” can mean a few different things, for example:-

– tuck in, to put to bed and make snug

– thrust the loose ends or sides of (something) into a confining space tuck the blankets in

– tuck in to dinner, and others.

Here we have a classic case of ‘tucking in’ to a barrel, the smallest barrel of the day by the looks of it too, but still trying for all money to get a piece of it. In the end it was a good job, he rode the wave until it fizzled out on him and finished off with some nice moves.

There are some other moves below, taken at Duranbah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Gravity, according to the dictionary,  is the force of attraction that moves or tends to move bodies towards the centre of a celestial body, such as the earth or moon. It takes a phenominal amount of power to break this attraction.

Sir Isaac Newton described gravity as the mutual attraction between any two bodies in the universe. He developed an equation describing an instantaneous gravitational effect that any two objects, no matter how far apart or how small, exert on each other. These effects diminish as the distance between the objects gets larger and as the masses of the objects get smaller.

No matter what all that jargon above means, this is one awesome air, pushing gravity to the limits….Snapped at Duranbah early Jan.
