The wind came in with a bang! Was rigging the 5.5m and by the time I had it pumped decided i better swap it out for the 4m. Blasted out and down to mythical Tweezers to see if it was happening. Was maybe a bit early in the blow for it to have the fully developed waves, but still found them and good fun. A little bit kelpy there and always throws me off flagging and surfing directly into and at the breakwater rocks! The wind angle was a bit better to go very deep and close to it knowing if you wiped you could still get going and not dashed into the rocks. It really cranked up while there so headed back to change out the 4 for a 3m. Played the rest of the time out front the between the tea hut and the crab pot waves near Cattle Pt. I think that's the most fun on waves I've had at Willows, got to take them in quite close to the beach,even down in the corner and still manage to get out and not becalmed. The only issue was the sulphurous stank that appeared later in the session suggesting the hoity toity OB peeps don't quite have their shit together on the sewage treatment issue.
