Gavin Duffy sent me this frame grab from a recent tow-in session around Flinders on the Hoax Coast, featuring Skeeter and friends. More pictures are on the hoax coast page, but it sure is a nice little barrel isn't it? 

Got talked into a mid-week, cold water surf with a friend and his son, and I was glad I did.

It was cold, 11 degrees and the water seemed to clamp around my arms as I paddled out. It was good though; clean and quite hollow with some decent sets and plenty of waves, though you didn't want to paddle through too many or it was ice-cream headache time! Great winter fun.

And the word of the day, for the first day of July was...SWELL.
