All I can say is you’re very good Well done

Hang in there Haydn

Thats a board for two

Maria MolèClosest is Manly Beach (South Steyne) Don't go there often. It is really long,  the middle is called North Steyne I go there quite a bit,  the most northern end is Queenscliff. The Manly end faces Northeast, Queenscliff a bit more south east. Next is Freshwater facing south then Curl Curl, also south facing.

As a teenager, thought I was going to drown at Curl Curl once. I have had the heebee jeebees ever since. I have to get used to it because it offers the longest wave ride. 

I hate the cold but love the winter surf here, the wind is offshore and the water is crystal clear. Manly is beautifully protected from the south and west. I used to take the kids there as toddlers. They could run round in next to nothing,  you could almost believe is was summer.

What did you think of Clayton's message? Maybe we are all too pedantic and true we aren't all going to fit the same mould or Clayton's mould.

Rubber - very restrictive but improving all the time. I stumbled upon an O'niell 1mm top end of summer. Never worn anything so comfortable. I now have 2 O'niell steamers. Yes restrictive but not as bad as my Patagonia. But it doesn't get as cold for us here. The max I am likely to need is 3/4mm and I feel the cold. I can't even imagine how cold it gets there. I can't even imagine how you all live through blizzards etc.

Well that's a relief

Thought I was very rounded in the shoulders too. I will post the others

Congratulations Roxy. What a successful weekend you have had, well done.
