that’s for sure. Have surfed down your way in winter and it’s freezing. Me and m8’s would road trip for the Bells Easter and do the bands at the farm etc, surf Winky and Jan Juc. Had friends at Ocean Grove and St Leonard’s we’d catch up with and party. Geez, even surfed down Luke’s way in Tassie at the Carlton River mouth entrance, now that’s turning balls into raisins.
I moved permanently to the Goldy about 20 years ago after a small stint in Sydney, we had a share house at a little beach called Bungan on Sydney’s northern beaches.
Places like Dbah, Snapper, Kirra when it’s working, Burleigh and South Straddie are my locals. More South Straddie, known as TOS is my local, just a quick zap in the boat and anchor up behind the break. Ride a long board more often these days being the wrong side of mid 50’s lol.
Absolutely love my fishing too m8. Super keen.
