The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ..part 2



Foam on the Beach-Jervis Bay Morning


Moona Creek Friday Morning



Well after our coffee fix at Harry Palms Cafe, we headed out into the Park to see how the surf was looking, and we wern't disappointed


It was only about 3-4 feet, clean with just 2 other surfers out, with this Robbie turned to me and said 'out there?'....ha , dont have to twist my arm , so work was thrown out the door and we headed down to the track for my second surf of the day.After arriving down on the reef and seeing one surfer lefted in the water, I gave old mate 'Butters' a ring to see if he could join me .....

Butters joined me in the fun as well















Thanks for the pics Robbie!!!

The other surfer soon bolted out of the water and joined his mate on rocks, so I was flying solo for about 30 minutes , till some local young Koorie kids turned up from the Village to join me, and not long after that , Butters arrived as well, to take the total number of surfers in the water to 3 kids on lids and 2 old kneeboarders. So after catching a squllion waves (lol) I came in for a break and thats when Butters ripped out his rear fin on the reef. Being a generous guy, I sent him back out with my board for a try...





and as you can see, he had alot of fun on my 5' 10" Drift.....now you wonder how 'Butters' got his name, well after getting out of the water and professing his love of my board and how well it went, in between frothing, the said board slipped clean from his hands and landed fins first ( very loudly) on the reef.....what a butter fingers he was.....as the old saying goes, 'shit happens', and luckly Robbie was there to take it back to the workshop for repair!

The Good , the Bad and the Ugly

 Snooky Simpson

Its been raining non stop for days , so when Thursday arrived , and with it a nice solid swell starting marching into Jervis Bay......

The Ugley

It was still pissing down in Husky when I pulled into the pub carpark to check out Sailors, and as usual ,there was a  hardy crew of surfers out there enjoying? the conditions on hand

I found Slats and Mygod sitting in the car watching the Outer Bombi , with Albert getting changed and Chayne still out there reliving his youth....it was wet and windy, with plenty of burnings happening down the line at Sailors....so I looked back across to Moona Creek.....yuk

The Bad

I decided to give this a miss ( I must be getting old) and come back mid morning to see if the conditions had improved , and when I checked out Moona again and found it half clean and with only one other young surfer out...i'm out there.

...well for six waves , and then freaking onshore decided to blow again ....time to check out a few other places in the Bay!

Boatramp had its usual crew of young frother's on it

Plantation had all the SUP's

Adam Quinn- Suicides


After one last check and with the next rain front about to drown us again, I decided to call it quits till the next morning and head home....bad mistake, it really cleaned up and started to pump after the last rain storm, luckly Slat's was able to get back down and record some of the action, and his son Mark was there also for the last 30 minutes of daylight

The Next Morning

Back to Moona to see if there was still swell around...and the Sun was out!!
It had dropped a few feet and the swell was forcasted to swing around to the East a bit, so when I only saw 2 guys out and nice clean condtions, I was out there for a quick surf and then back to work...well that was what I thought anyways...



a couple from Slats



Robbie was there to greet me when I got out of the water, and mention another spot that was cranking with nobody out, so with a quick stop at the pie shop for food and coffee, we were off on our next adventure!
