Just got back from the North west trip with my family. Won't bore you with too many happy snaps but here's a few SUP related ones. Not many surfing ones of course as none of my lot are interested in sitting around taking video or pics.
Spent a week at a well known surf camp up there and had it's signature wave by myself most mornings - seems to be too cold for most crew who are happy to wait till it warms up about 10. I missed catching Hilly due to car problems unfortunately, he has some great pics though.
We did the Pilbura and Broome as well, awesome places with some great paddling. Flew Virgin with 4 SUPs, 2 shortboards, a boogie, snorkling stuff, spearguns, camp gear, all up 16 pieces of baggage...lol.
The Campsite:
The break:
Little Bloke paddling and surfing:
Rugrats doing some nice paddling:
hey mate there are some quality shots there and the campsite/location looks unreal.
what's the young bloke doing with a steamer and booties in one shot, and then catching waves in boardies the next..?
nice photos goatman, I luv that spot Hope to be up there again next year with my feral kids and dog..been too long since my last trip.
The photo of the young fella on the wave was that around the camp or further north? cant remeber a beach break there.
Ha ha...yeah should explain the 2 shots of my little bloke. One is paddling at Ningaloo, the other is surfing at Cable beach, Broome. Hence the boardies in one and steamer the other.
Great shots Goatie,
Tell the young fella he has the old mans in the zone style happening on lift off.
Love the look of his board what kind is it?
Looks like you had a smokin trip.
Phill

Great trip Goatman, nice getting the family over to Gnaraloo with you.
Were you surfing Tombstones? Also wondering how you went with all the luggage, did Virgin hit you with excess?

Hey Dogman, we were at Cable Beach just after the 6m swells and got little waves there...lol. Yeah I bet Appsy missed me at the state
Hey Hilly, yeah was bummed about missing that leg, did you get the bombie working in that big swell? Looks like you are ripping on the JL!!

Radman, no swell that day but beautiful paddling conditions in the Gorge - best flat water paddle ever

Hilly stylin good pics, your kids are as kooky as mine
This spot looks great from the Pics,
hey Goatman did you hire a 4wd ,what part of W.A did you fly in /out from?
cheers.
Goatie I got some big waves on that swell not the bombie but good. Bombie looked difficult due to strong offshore. Great part of the world I am suffering now back at work would love to still be up there
Passed you as I was coming back Hilly. Spent two weeks south of where you were and left as the crowds came up. Looked at that long fast left you spoke about a while back. Extremely fast wave and very very shallow, need balls as big as watermelons for that break. How was the wind?, we copped a lot of strong SE which made it hard for the offshore reefs.
You did well lugging all that gear around Goatman, definately worth it though. Did you manage to spear anything?
Cheers
The JL got a good run offshore. The missus refused to sit in the boat for four hours out there at a time with the grommit and take photos.
Used the SB at that spot due to the reef, get trapped inside there and it gets bloody shallow.
