WAVES IN OCTOBER???
| Last weekend was a bit of a weird one, with some quality and uncrowded waves to be had for those who were keen to get stuck into it! It was an uncharacteristic although much appreciated October weekend with waves on offer on both coasts. All the excitement of the Indy on at the Goldy seemed to keep the crowds nice and thin, as alot of reports flooding back suggested that people thought acces to Southport could be a little tricky with the Indy circus in town so South Straddie had a generous amount of waves on offer, with sunshine and realtively no wind. Hope you got a few while the swell was around because just looking at the charts for the next couple of days isn't looking to inspiring.

SURF TRAVEL NIGHT 2008
| On Wednesday the 17th Primitive Surf held the annual and much anticipated Surf Travel Night for '08. Previous years have seen a full house and this year it was no different. Plenty of new destinations were covered on the big screen with everyone excited over their new travel prospects.
Some of the highlights from the night were guest appearances from the owners of MATANIVUSI resort in Fiji, Brian and Donna, and Andrew who owns and operates The Exocuedus vessel throughout Papua New Guinea. This was a first for one of our travel nights and all owners had the crowd completely engaged when trading stories and details of their magnificent destinations. A big shout out to you guys for coming along, the crew from World Surfaris, the Northside Christian Surfers for maning the BBQ and Pro-lite for the prizes. The door prize of $500 World Sufaris voucher was won by Mike Procter while Josh McGarry took home the Pro-lite cover for best travel photo. Thanks again to all of our customers who came along and made this another successful event.
"I have only just returned from a trip myself last week but I was still jumping out of my skin to book in and start dreaming, I can’t imagine what was going through the minds of some of the weekday starved 9-5 surfers that where watching what was on the big screen." - Qoute from Jamie Willems (Global Surf Industries).
Keep an eye out for the rest of the photos Monday.

After 10 days of no waves a southerly swell has graced us with 2 days of good waves if you have been hitting any of the sth swell magnets. While I have talked to a few people today saying the Sunny Coast was still really small, I'm surfed out after 4ft D-Bah yesterday and 4-5ft Sth Straddy this morning. There's still a few days left in this swell so get amounst it before the spring blues arrive.
