Crowdy 2012

What a ripper of a weekend! Once again The MOB picked a fantastic location, jagged perfect weather and picked one of the only places that could be surfed in such a big southerly swell! Friday arv saw the MOB gather out past the break at Crowdy gap. Surfing into the sunset is never better than with the knowledge of a weekend ahead with The MOB!

In the corner at Crowdy was nice the next morning but the real magic was Diamond Head on Saturday afternoon - I loved it! Only wish my arms hadn't packed it in and I would've stayed out there longer.

Thanks to all the surfermums who make it so much fun. And special thanks to Champagnekate who always provides an excellent soundtrack to our girls weekends.

Memories? Mine are: the story about hanging nappies on the clothesline, watching The Grom catch the waves I missed (there were many), eating cheese (also lots), laughing (ditto), getting dropped in on by The Grom, and Fran admiring the picture in the restuarant - she thought she could do something like that herself .... it was painted by an elephant Fran!! Still makes me chuckle.

Appropriately, the full moon shone brightly in the clear sky on Sunday night after we got home. The shimmer on the ocean was incredible. A perfect end  to a perfect weekend.

Surfing Sunday

Hallelujah! Finally, a sunday with a nice offshore autumn breeze and nothing on the agenda but surfing! I agree with the Grommie's last post - Crowdy is fantastic! Took the family up to Crowdy Gap today - offshore all day - how good's that? Finally had to throw in the towel at 2pm and go get some lunch (arms no longer worked!). Needless to say shoulders are a bit weary this afternoon. Seems like I only surf once a month these days... Not enough, not enough!!! :(

Still in need of girls surfing weekend. Grommie? Are you out there? What about the weekend of the 4th + 5th May? (6 weeks to look forward to it!!!!) Any takers?

So, where did you spend your surfing sunday? Any pics for the blog?

Crowdy Magic

Last weekend posed the perfect time for the Grommie to carve it up at Crowdy. Perfect wind, weather, tide and waves.. ( and company ) Dare I say it- Could this be a possibility for the surfermum annual weekend away???

Yummy food at the local pub, and Thai takeaway was a winner. Can grab a decent coffee at the cafe- for those in need of a little pick-me -up.. Anyone keen for a weekend away soon??? Anyone??

Kamakazi twins were of course, none other that than Jules and Cathy. Looks as though you're in the headlines at the moment Julie. Personally I wasn't there to witness the event,but hubby saw the whole thing. BIIIIG surf plus wild conditions equals....... craziness!!!
