White Bikini 31st August 2012
I read this great New York Times article that studied the actual physical demands of surfing…interestingly, only 8% of our total time spent out in the water is actually riding waves. 54% paddling and the rest just bobbing up and down like a tea bag.
Well… looking at the conditions today, I’d dispute that study and say you’d spend around 0.2% of your total time riding waves, as its TINY. 95% would be spent sitting out the back and the rest paddling around in circles chasing the phantom dribbles that don’t seem to arrive.
It’s a great beach day nonetheless – for now. Cloud cover will increase and the forecast is for a late shower. Kinda cold with a winter maximum of 19 degrees. I was most impressed when I got down to Tamarama this morning around 5:50am…the sun wasn’t up, it was around 9 degrees and a girl paddled out in a white bikini and surfed for 1 hour. Any tougher and you’d rust lady…
Windy tomorrow, calmer and good waves on Sunday.
Wish ya Dad Happy Father’s day.

Probably British, Eug – we don’t feel the cold quite as much as you Aussies
Howie said |
Love the ghostrider Uge…you’ve the goods. I notice Sprout had a pic of Layne B in a bikini this morning as well. What is it with these gal’s making us blokes look like right wooza’s?
Rick said |
What site is Sprout’s pic of Lane on, Howie?
Uge said |
This girl is def. not from around here.
Try surfing in your speedos this morning for 1 hour…before the sun came up, with a SW wind off the mountains…wow.
Respect.
Have a good day, uge
Luke said |
I (and all the other blokes having a morning walk) saw the White Bikini out at 6am Wednesday too….She’s keen
Uge said |
Who is the mystery woman and what is she made of?
Mo said |
My guess is Norwegian. Bondi in winter would feel tropical.
MM said |
What do you mean COLD!…..She looks HOT to me!
Rick said |
Took the words right out of my mouth, MM. She’s too hot to feel the chill…
Marto said |
That lass is extreme hardcore. A few of us North Bondi Soft Sand Harriers (those great looking lads with the orange smugglers!) went for a quick dip post soft sand sesh today. Water was the coldest of the year with immediate ice headache when you dipped your melon under the water. Let alone the wind chill from that southerly that you’d get sitting on a board.
RESPECT.

I’d have her!! anyone know her name??
Luke said |
Where’s the chivalry Uge? Not one reader has yet offered to loan the lady a wetsuit…….
Briza said |
Uge, it’s a tough job and somebody’s got to do it but what does Deb think about you spending an hour hanging around watching this girl in the white bikini?
Uge said |
Deb’s great at spotting talent to shoot.
Sully said |
Meh, Sydney water temp is nothing. Trying surfing in Canada you wimps!

Man it was FREEZING this morning, she’s hard core!
