Hi Shaun,

These pic’s are from the last 3 days, best waves I have ever had !!!!

Guests were surfed out of their skin and so stoked as it ranged from 4 to 8ft plus.

Tomorrow is looking good for the new guests and the swell looks like holding for the whole week so it coulkd be a good first charter depending on their ability.

I think we will be heading for Cokes/Chickens tomorrow so I will keep you updated by text or will phone you with what is happening with the dingy.

Cheers.
