The day after my round 1 heat I had a day off (I’ve ended up having 3 days off). Our good friend Beren Hall lives down in Byron Bay and we decided to go for a quick drive south of the Goldy to go visit him. We surfed a super peaky rippable bank on a beautiful beach with no one around until we were surfed out before heading into the town of Byron for some lunch. In a state of food comatose we decided that gliding on some longboards at the Pass sounded more appealing than trying to shred a blown out beach break on full stomachs. So we scrounged up 3 logs and headed out to The Pass. The wind was light offshore and the waves were small but groomed to perfection and running down the sand bank. It felt amazing to ride a long board. The simplicity of standing in one place on a board and just playing with your speed and trim felt really fresh. Thanks Bez, Dion, and Warren for letting us borrow their boards!
