G'Day Doug'

Yeah sure! Most of the surf I try is no bigger than a metre, period 6 to 8
seconds, though these days its hard to tell as I'm experimenting with a
strategy of paddling like stink to land through surf. Theory is that I'll
either catch them and ride in beautifully or get through with no trouble.
Either way it will look superb - just occasionally the theory works:~)

Its an even less practical theory for breaking out through surf thats coming
in sets of about three. Great way to learn backwards surfing. Of course you
have to try and convince people thats what you were intending all along!

All the best, PeterO
