Just had a great trip up the coast, surfed with a couple of mates I used to surf with when I was in my late teens early twenties.  Both guys used to really push my surfing and even now it really was no different, I ended up punting and sticking a big backside air amongst other things one surf, been quite a while since I’ve had that level of froth to do things like that.  I’m not exactly learning to surf but I did get a whole heap of stoke back trying new things again.

Well I had another crack this year.  My new 8’ foamie is a bit of a boat but at least I can get up on it pretty reliably.  I can even stick mini Mud on the front and ride in on the back!  He looks like a hood ornament!

Other skills I have now mastered:
- obliterating a stranger with my foamie in a wipeout (that 8’ leash sure is long!)
- finding the biggest waves when I’m trying to paddle out
- finding myself in a waveless channel once I get out
