Winter 2011: The Ball-breaker

This winter's been a pig so far. I can't remember a year when I've missed out on so many quality swells (and it shows in my surfing)! Yep, we all have to work, and in spite of our innate ability for creative, on-the-spot-excuse-making, we all have the occasional non-negotiable commitment, but it seems that so far this year there's been mysterious forces present—forces hell-bent on ruining my chances of getting any quality water-time, and this weekend it would seem, is no different. The chart's looking good—again. And I'm outta-town—again. Now, I'm the first to admit that I'm no Tony Butt, but, in my limited knowledge, it's looking like it could throb! Even the weather should be at it's spring-like best judging by the high pressure squatting over us. So yeah (sarcastic tone)... do make sure you enjoy it won't ya?! Pfffffft!
