We are in Geraldton now and it’s a lovely sunny warm day and the swell looks like its picking up. I’ve just got a haircut and feelin good. Yesterday I shot a fish and cooked a big fish curry for dinner, it was only spoiled slightly by someone taking my snorkel and fin bag and my fillet knife from the beach while I was out.
Lancelin was great with good surf and a bit of windsurfing also. Some more friends came up for a day also and
we all got in the water, good times. The girls rented a surfboard and enjoyed themselves, we had 3 days of good surf till we moved on.
I’ve been getting used to my surfboard now but on the last day I left it for sale in the surfshop and bought another. It’s the same length 7ft but wider in the tail and thinner with more rocker in the nose. The main thing is that it has removable fins so it fits under the bed with my windsurf kit. I had a surf on it and it’s a nice board.
The water is not warm here in the winter so I bought a wetsuit in Perth. It’s a West 3x2, a good suit and from Western Australia. I’ve used it quite a bit in the last week and it was definitely worth it.
We tried some sandboarding also with the hope it would be similar to snowboarding. I wasn’t too impressed by it as it was hard to go fast and only then in a straight line. No carving turns down the sand dunes!
We are gonna stay a few days here as Tarvi, an Estonian guy travelling with us has a lobster poisoning from his time working on a crayfish boat and has to stay in hospital for a short time until they fix him.
