Welcome to my world.
Woke up this morning, had surfin’ on my mind
Yeah I woke up this morning, had surfin’ on my mind.
Almost out the door but the woman, she ain’t so kind.
She take my money, then sells my boards and shoes
Yeah, she steal my money, sell my boards and shoes
I should leave that woman but I don’t know what I’d do.
Run down to the beach 'cause I got nowhere else to go.
Running to the beach 'cause I got nowhere else to go.
No waves, no surf make a man feel mighty low.
So flat in the Spring time, I done paying those dues.
Gonna leave that woman ‘cause she makin’ me choose.
I’m leaving this place 'cause I got those no surf blues.
The East coast of Australia has had some absolutely fantastic waves for the last week. In my locale some calling it the best Noosa they’ve seen in 20 years.
If that makes you feel any better?
Sea kayaking is good when its flat.
Lee, that’s Hot Tuna, isn’t it? … in the rain and snow…

I woke up this morn’in, ocean calling my name,
but when I got to the beach not a single wave.
Now I got the blues, I got the no surf blues.
Just shaped a new board and I want to get it wet,
But its been 3 weeks now and I haven’t had one wave yet.
I got the blues, I got the no surf blues.
Every day I’ve been a waiting, and every day it’s been flat,
Been told its comming but it’s getting hard to keep the faith.
I got the blues, I got the no wave, no surf blues.
I got the blues, I got the no surf blues sooo bad.
Crazy eyed dude in sandles - he’s swearing it’ll go off,
But from where I’m standing can’t see a single trugh.
I got the blues, I got the no waves, no surf blues,
I got the blues, I got the no waves, no surf blues, crazy eyed dude blues.
Been stand’in here all day, in the blazing sun till late,
been standing here all day and the swells still in a terible state.
I got the blues, I got the blues real bad
I got the no wave, no surf, crazy eyed dude, sun burnt back blues.
I got the blues sooooo bad
Man I need make some changes in my life, find a new wave or something.
We’ve had about 3 weeks of now surf here now. I’m starting to loose my mind. At least I think I am as the weekend forecast with 4 feet @ 6 sec windswell with onshore starts to look like heaven.
The Gondoliers, at least, are happy…
It’s that time of year. I spent 13 hours in St John’s Hospital yesterday. Wife had chest surgery and will be out of the water for at least 8 weeks. Planning is everything.
Maybe I’ll get my tat touched up this week?
Is Kidget recovering ok?
PS. In anticipation of the doldrums I started building this during my paternity leave (thank you, baby).
it’s ugly, heavy, but it’s going to be some sweet sup’in and fly fishing in
the south bay this summer.
hope everything’s ok!
stop singin’ Whitey…
Thanks guys. Last night was a bit rough but she’s doing much better today. We both finally got some sleep today. Whehwww!!!
Tim- After talking to you and Ray at Cardiff and riding Bob Mitzven’s quads, I decided to make my own. Used a 6’2" Biofoam fish blank and ended up with a 6’2.5" quad. Dropped it off at FFF last Friday to be glassed. Will post pics once I get it back.
Time to relax…

We’ve had a lot of waves down south lately too, but a lot of onshore winds. The last 3 or 4 times i’ve gone for a surf its been junk, its a bit annoying after a while. Tried going out the other day, but the sweep, super low tide, and heaps of seeweed just stopped me from getting past the shorebreak. Got to a point where i just had to turn around and come back to the beach.Wasn’t happy. I know my luck will change soon , but gee, im havin a bad run this last week!.
P.S its even harder when you see the regulars and the say things like " it was awesome yesterday, super clean 4-5’!! "
Took these shots this morning Al…Anzac Day here…got very crowded later…surfed an empty beachbreak
barrelling off its tits

Probably the best day of surf we’ve had this year.
