James and Michelle emerge James Bond and Halle Berry like, warriors from the dangerous surf. Guy recruits assistance for our daily thermometer wall. I ponder what the 2 turtles are actually doing…. James shows off his bite size wetsuit damage. We watch the shark boat idle for 40 minutes off Freshie in the distance. Smoko...

it’s just like the ocean under the moon. Oh, it’s the same as the emotion that I get from you A scorching sun, flaming the clouds, cracks open at 6am. The 609 dawn patrol swells in size and they wade into the sunrise. You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow Lainey...

The gurus pitch report Leaving the fast filling car park with a “spring” in my step on a good looking Friday morning, the gentle little sou-easter was a reminder that Mother Nature wasn’t done with winter just yet. 1st September – “a pinch and a punch for the first day of the month”, however no...

There’s a new dance that’s going around When the hits start flying you gotta get down Parked at the point today for the return of the Drinks Express. Got run over. A crisp 8 degrees out, double it for the water temp. Surprisingly very warm for the middle of winter. The Guru tries to justify...

Guy delights us with a lovely 16.7C thank you for every chalky morning Such a stunning sunrise! Conditions are washy around the point, few sets of small waves, bumpy across the bay. Couple of Port Jacksons and half a dozen gropers A current meant coming back had speed Dave, Marcus and Phil had already been...

Pristine conditions. Caroline stumbles still drunk. Magaritas, slipperly nipples, shots… Ironman Ian suits up ready for the double with Caroline… I drink to your health Dancing Dan revels in the early morning Matt suits up… inserting… Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea A malibu and coke for you, a G and T...

A moment, a love. A dream, aloud   6.15am Shelly. A stark contrast to our Solstice fun. Brooding. Guy’s magical chalk refuses to be washed away A kiss, a cry. Our rights, our wrongs. A gentle swell taps at the beach.         Rob Obrien cracks 2000 today. NIce job. One of our...

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. I tried for an early mark 6am, 7 degrees from half way. Dark and very shallow.           Caroiline reports a long trek out with the lowest tide in history. Hope it doesn’t get too much colder with the nude solistice swim...

“HARK! I hear the cannons roar!” Trooper shouts, gathering the FFF. Today is the final act. The last rush into the surf. The ultimate dash to the wall. The final curtain call. Closing remarks? Adios arrivederci au revoir auf wiedersehen farewell …Don’t worry! FFF will be back in October. Do not attempt to leave the...

Don’t mess with the Zohan! Trooper rants ‘no dilly dallying around here’ and pushes us all to our limits on another day on the sand and in the surf.   A standard dragon boat typically consists of 22 team members: 20 paddlers, 1 drummer and 1 steerer. Like a well oiled team our FFF all...
