Description:

I saw a good swell early on the morning, and drove to the merimbula bar, i was looking there at about 7:00am, 40 or so guys out, which put out of contention, merimbula main was big, nasty and generally pretty unsurfable looking, upset by the short drives lack of luck we drove back to pambula to find that the swell had picked up and lookied clean, fast and hollow. i paddled out as quick as possible and found a bank to myself, i caught a few closeouts, but still ha enough time to do a small quick carve or hit the lip as it was closing out (it was 2-3ft at this stage), i paddled to a new bank when josh paddled out, my first few waves closed out to quickly and throwing me over the falls. i got my confidence up and paddled for one of the bigger waves of the morning, as i took my bottom turn i saw an opening section, i tucked myself in and saw the lip throw itself over me, i sat for a second or so before i tried to pump my way out (unsuccesfully) and ended up copping the section on my head, throwing me off my board, that day me and josh got countless fun closeouts, and even a few peelers, we had the bank to ourselves till around 9:00 when the rest of the crew paddled out.

Yeah man that was pretty much the most memorable surf of the holidays. The waves where glassy and sizey. really fun closeouts most of the time. Just Tim and I out fuck it was great. everyone else paddled out about 2 hours later and it turned to shit. that surf will not be forgotten
