Just Dreaming surf guide John Olsen reporting.
I just got off my first trip after a bit of time off the vessel and didn't realise how much I missed the Island. We surfed Napalms and Illusions everyday for the first five days of the trip. Conditions were perfect for the majority of waves around the area with tides and winds all working in our favour. Five frothers from the central coast of Oz were the punters and they were averaging about 8+ hrs in the water each day for the first half of the trip. One special highlight of mine was from one of the boys Borgy, he pulled through the back of a wave at Napalms, went over and snapped his board. He was filthy on himself and looking for redemption, which didn't take him long to find while not long after paddling back out scored the wave of the trip, long hollow tube all the way through kicking out, hands in the air, stoked, job done. Illusions was as fun as always long reeling smackable walls and even throwing out the odd keg or two. Playing 2up on the boat on Anzac day was a cracker, since we had no cash out there whoever lost had to shotgun a can of Anker for fun times. Also snagged a few fish including a Barracuda, Job Fish and Trevally which our chef Danna whipped up one of his all time fish curries.
Cheers John.
