I have realised i wish i had never come home.
Work has been so long and im over working 7-6 everyday.
The Trip
On Thursday I headed off to the airport to pick up Luke, Running 15 minutes late I was lucky that his flight was delayed 20 minutes.
After getting luke we got in the car headed home un-packed and packed the car.
Not having my own car was bullshit for this trip.
I had mums Kia Carnival, which is like a fucking alcoholic on the petrol.
We set off friday morning with Louis and Brendan hoping to score an early Wedge on the way down.
FAIL! it was perfect offshore and good swell. Too bad they dredged the cut.
Next option was quickly head to a nearby reef. As we got to the hill and ran over to check it out.
We were greeted with perfect 4-5 foot peaks. Crowd factor was high for a friday morning and it was real inconsistant. We watched if for about an hour waiting for lewy to find his way there.
Ended up flagging it to race down in the hope of better waves.
Quickly stoping in bunbry to check sidewash.... fail ended up going to get me a milkshake from wendys.
Back on track we got to rabbits about an hour later.
Winds had turned sse but there was a good bank out there.
Gearing up in the cold rain wasnt fun.
As we get down to the beach Luke cant stop complaining about how cold it is and how the Hoax Coast is so warm.
Rabbits turned to shit, "5 foot onshore and straight".
We were ment to be down there for another week but the forcast changed and was shit for the next 5 days.
We stayed one more night hoping we might get lucky with the wind.
Next trip
So south was shit, I Got a call that day asking if i wanted to do a day trip to rotto.
Forecast was good and we were all keen for waves.
About 10 minutes later we were packed up and heading home.
Lewy been so amped said he got us on the "last ferry" at 5:45.
Only there was no ferry at 5:45.
We were taking the "spruce moose"
Lewy picked us up from my place, straight from work i hear him screaming around the corner.
We were half hour late, lewy didnt have his board wetty or fins so he had to borrow some gear.
He is only 5foot 6, borrowing a 43 inch board from his brother i could'nt help but laugh when i saw him with a huge board and pair of hydro's.
We made it to the airport just in time.
Getting the plane over was the best experiance i had ever had with that island.
Flying over the top we found a new wave that works on the certain conditions.
Crashed the night at Reece's place,
Waking up in the morning i went to the jetty early to pick up jeremy who had came over for the day.
I almost cryed when i saw about 10 other people with boards jump off.
By chance one of Lukes mates Tomic from the goldy was over.
The bus eventually got to box, we were the only ones left on it.
Looking at it from the bus stop everyone was amping.
Ive never run so fast to get to the cliff.
As the boys suited up and jumped down the cliff and started paddeling i noticed i was the only one left minus Reece who wasnt really in the mood.
I convinced him to come out with me to hang in the channel.
So i kind of cant be fucked Writing the rest of the story as i really need to do a shit,
Yeah graphic i know but i havnt been since yesterday so its goign to be huge.
Ill write the rest of the story and the other trip tomorrow.
Heres some shots from rotto that havnt been put up yet
