Monday 25th and its another cracker day of the Easter Break. Saturday we went to Bells and saw some fantastic surfing in 3 meter Bells with Mick Fanning and Parko just awesome in their heats. Today Sam and I are heading to Phillip Island and the weather is forecast as sunny and low 20s. As we head off about 9.00 it's thick fog can you believe it. The fog breaks as we get close the Island and its blue skies all the way the Woolamai - the surf is just not there on low tide and we decide to try surf beach.
Surf beach is a great little beach. Typical of the Island with a stair case walk down to the beach, with the beach backed by cliffs of green, with black rocks around. Surfies point is on the point of the beach but Sam and I try the beachies where there are a half dozen blokes out. I am in the water with leash on and as I go to zip up the back of my wettie and head out the zip beaks and the wettie won't do up. I try and fasten the top and head out with a gaping back in the wetsuit. I get onto a wave and I'm up and away going right and then the wave dies and I drop down and fall out. As I hit the water my suit fills up and even my legs are swelled with water. I hop on the board and head in weighing a ton. I decide its no use going back out and am grateful I've got my summer wettie in the car for later. Sam stays out for about 20 mins and doesn't have much luck but there are some waves out there and it's a beach worth coming to.
I will try surfies point next time I'm back with a new wettie. Anyway it was great just sitting on the beach as the day is awesome and the beach view great.
