The Gamble!

What do you do when you know your going to get  score 6 to 8 foot ruler edge kegs four 4 days straight?

Well usually I would do the same as any one and get an early night. But this was no ordinary swell and the brunt of its energy was heading to Tassie. With the buoys reading 60 foot at 17 seconds I couldn’t really pass it up.

So I took a punt, left town and headed to Tassie. 50 knot winds accompanied the predicted 60 foot swell. The wave on our minds was a long way from home in the middle of a national park  and Non of us had any idea of how big it would be or if it could handle the gale force winds.

But as luck would have it the gamble paid off and we scored one of the biggest paddle sessions in Tassie history.

Here is a little video from the day,

I hope you enjoy!
