Thunder Birds are Go

It was cold, grey morning last Saturday and with the predicted SE wind expected to blow early, I was in the water by 5.30 am, closely followed by Brian, Paul and da Bolt…with Phil not far behind them. That’s a ‘flock’ of mat riders for sure…..Thunder Birds are Go!!!

The surf wasn’t that great with the onshore starting to blow early, but in true SCUMM form, we made the most of it and still had plenty of laughs to boot!

It was good to catch up with the boys and have a yak ( yes the onshore came up real early so no surfing for me) and it gave me a chance to check out a few boards and take a couple of IPhone pics







































Have anybody else noticed that the flies are getting really big????





Extracting ticks from the local wildlife below





On our return from a quick paddle,we found this little blue tongue lizzard crawling under my car on the side of the road. Paul suggested we check him out as the ticks have been real bad this year, and sure enough there was about 5 litle blood sucking ticks attached to his neck, which Brian removed with his trusty tweezers!!





and the quick paddle we had…..




it was fun!!!
