MANIGHAR

Where is everyone? Are you kidding me? Are you already well lubricated in Melbourne Cup celebrations? There are plenty of waves around generated by two distinct swells, 1 east, 1 dead south. The winds are SW (mostly offshore), wooo, but I could barely find anyone surfing them…well, a pod of dolphins at Bronte were going […]

Its small, 2 foot max and lacking substantial push, nevertheless its rideable and a nice morning to be paddling around in the sunshine. There are no decent swells due for at least 7 […]
