Idiot picks up a Surfboard instead 2


Instead of donning the cap & goggles last friday afternoon….. Sutho gave me the call & surf report….. Balmoral was pumping…. the intense Low had drenched Sydney and brought surf to Balmoral !

I donned my wetsuit and grabbed the surfboard and hit Balmoral headland for a 2-4 foot surf and a left off the middle headland… and it was crashing onto the beach proper.

Can’t say I surfed the waves well and I had plenty of blood from foot lacerations off the rocks…. but I suppose I can now say I’ve surfed Chinaman’s Point and now Balmoral…. truly confirming my Idiot status. RBJ was away but genes do run in the family…saw his boys hitting the waves too as I was getting out! Surfs Up dudes!

    That is hilarious Stephen! The barista in Swerve told me that he heard that the surf was pumping at Balmoral! Now you have confirmed it. Where are the photos?

      My phone camera skills have a lot to be desired…got a shot of my thumb instead !
      I could send you photos of my scarred,torn foot but I showed it to Sutho on Saturday as we watched the waves thump through and he felt that it rated an “R” and no kiddies should be exposed to that sort of graphic bloodshed !
