On babysitting duties today ( got 4 kids ) should have them off my hands in 30 yrs or so.

Sweet as Piwi,  Navigator  I was thinking 4pm

all welcome...Hermit don't forget your company credit card...

Charlie, ru coming over for your midweeker this week ? Blowing hardout sw here flattening the surf quickly.

I have work tomorrow but  wednesday / thurs ok. Sorry thought you mite have wed off again. Will get it right  one day !

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...

two small dogs??!!

Geepers my brother...give me some credit! They made Jurassic Park 3 from what ive got down there!!

Mate, the ocean parts when it sees diplodocus coming out! hahaha...

Also went out yesterday arvo....4 Kawhai all put back then onto the snapper...best 49cm on a "new penny" gulp crab jammed onto a nitro jighead.... Also a large trevally released after a great fight! Very easy surf conditions again, maybe out again this afternoon....

Well, been tied up in the corporate jungle all damm week, and I just thought I'd poke my head in and see who's crowing about what?????  Good to see you back Nath, 

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.
