West Oz pumped over the Christmas weekend, and these lucky guys got to surf this shallow barreling left all to themselves Christmas Eve.

Not wishing to sound conceited but my Xmas day sesh was very similar to this. Thumping lefts, about the same size, clean and lined up. Only 3 of us out. Stoked! We've had a real good run of surf recently.

Only bummer is I'm in a 5 mil.

Hope everybody out there is getting theirs. All the best for 2017.

Zen, you have every reason to celebrate your good fortune - well done!
No barrels for me, but I did manage a 3ft righthand point to myself, sunny and glassy.

Happy New Year to all of you :-)

BTW, Where are you, that a 5mil is required?

Northern Ibaraki, on the border of Fukushima in Japan.

We scored another great sesh yesterday, overhead, local right-hand reef, howling offshore, farking freezing, lightly snowing- 5 out.

This has been the season that just keeps on giving. Looking good this morning too.

Onya Zen, good to hear.
The spot in the vid broke a few times lately heres a version made yesterday with no makes as the watercam kept getting water on the lens and the land camera had sun on the screen.
Some empty much bigger smokers did come through though.


Happy new year everyone.
