After a long flat spell we now have waves. No lie. Phew. Thanks Hui. The SSE swell has kicked in strong and Bondi was closing out at 7am (std). Get in the car and drive away from Bondi – you’ll score for sure!
Winds are perfectly WSW offshore, the sunshine is out and today will cook up to 23 degrees. Water temp is around 18ish (steamer).
Aquabumps reader Caroline Quaine is raising money for her Surf Sling idea via Pozible. The Sling helps kids carry their boards down the beach as their little arms can’t do the full rail to rail wrap yet. If you like the idea, contribute to see the idea come to fruition.
I also ask you (insert beg) to sponsor our SURF AID CUP team. The Aquabumps Shredders are the defending champs and we’ve been training all year for this event. In fact its the only surf comp I’ve ever won – and we’re going to do it all again this year. So dig deep, splash some green on our donations page.
Have a great weekend. South swell due Saturday and Sunday – so you will be surfing.

That surf sling is genius. I’m a grown-up, but sadly also cannot wrap my arm around the board properly…
Uge – No. 42818 above doesn’t have “buy” next to it… not for sale? it’s my gf so i’d like to snag it for her!
Uge! What is the deal with the ban on boards at Bondi now? The speedo loving clubbies told a bunch of us this morning that Waverley Council has banned surfing except in very specific spots over summer…
True?!
Surfing between the red and yellow flags (the swimming area) has been banned for about 100 years!
it took me a while to find the right angle/ time and unfortunately it is only a mobile shot but there is one picture waiting to be taken from ~the roundabout close to speedos at ~6:20 showing the surf club lighing up like a sparkler:
