Well........that surf was big! Dont know if you guys have seen the surf around the bay today but its pretty narley! So i thought id take my other Cobra kayak out for a surf. My guess is that some bigger of the waves were at around 2m. I finally got out the back and waited for the biggest mother wave you ever saw...and it came...! I caught it....then realised there was a damn surfer in the way (they always get in the way!) so i dug the paddle in and pulled myself off the back of the wave. The only problem with that was that the next wave, which was bigger, picked me up and pitched pole me straight down into the sand. For of a distance of around 250m off shore, there must have been a hell of alot of force because i was completely driven right underneath the water! Of course i wiped out totally, luckily i had a hold of the kayak so i climbed back on. When i got back up there (pretty damn quick i tell you!) i then saw that the front of my surfing kayak had been literally folded at a 90 degree angle from 3/4 of the front of the kayak and down! Man, thats terrific! I got back on dry land, took the bung off, the air must have done something cause it straightened back out again (with some persuasion!)
So ive learnt something today guys: Next time, just run the damn surfer over, idiot shouldnt have followed me out anyway!!!
Fishing wednesday if anyones keen...

Cheers Grant, yep im back mate with some serious force!
I went out tonight, it was pretty slack. Got 5 snapper at the 30cm mark....put them all back. 33cm is my limit so i only went home with two snapper but thats ok. Fed the flatmates. Lots of smaller snapper arouind im finding but still good to be on the water.
Roll on the winter i say!
Bugger, im working saturday. It seems im always bloody working!

Nath are you still up this end of the bay,
I went out last night and got skunked mind you only went 500m and fished for 20mins but still a dissapointment. First time since the last time I fished the harbour I've been skunked.
Going out tonight @ 6pm in front of omanu surf club if anyone else is keen.
