Crazy Mat Men II & III


062

Another great run of swell and offshore winds this past week

Wednesday

After deciding to give myself a couple of day off from work, and with it coinciding with a large south swell and NE winds, Eric the Bullet and myself headed off in search of good waves……and scored a rather large swell without a lot of punters, in fact it eventually got down to jus myself and my mat Ric in the line-up…must have been a tad big for everybody I suppose, but as you can see in the video below, super clean with big walls for my mat to fly on.

Eric decided to ride my kneeboard, so when I eventually got back to my Van, he was joined by fellow kneelo’s Robbie Rennie and Mark Zorbac for a quick rundown.

I snapped these pics after getting out, missed sharing a few waves with Neal, but after 3 hours my legs were cramping and my body needed fuel.

The first hour the crowd was not too bad, so shared a few a couple with Justin and then as more and more people joined us, I went over to the front of the Island for a couple on my own.
