Yesterday morning it rained, and then was sunny.
I tried out my new wetsuit, which you can see below. I found out the best way to test a new suit for water-resistance is to grab one of the arms and pinch it closed between the elbow and shoulder, then breathe air into the sleeve as if it were a balloon. The faster the air leaks out, the more water gets in, and the colder you get. My suit gets a solid "decent" rating from Posh Lawyer, but after it's stretched out a bit it may be downgraded to "average".
Went out and surfed north of what is affectionately referred to by locals as the "shit pipe". It functions solely to empty the storm drains and sewers of Manly directly into the sea.
Post surf, my board next to the new surfmobile.
In other news, some surf pros visited Manly for an afternoon of filming yesterday. To see some pro shots of pro surfers, click on this link to surfer/photog/man-about-town uge's webpage, Aquabumps. Needless to say, I didn't take the picture below, he did.
