Just in time for the rain.
That looks about right.
One time when we were in Australia,
I had to cut a tomato with an eyebrow shaver.
Who did it first?
You got to match your style.
Perfectly matched.
How's that right?
Wow, that's right.
I think
it's
definitely
bigger
than
yesterday
did you get
that you
get that
are you
missing no
I was more
worried
about
the guy
paddling
the guy
paddling
someone
gets
smoked
they don't
even see
the back
something
definitely
happened
there it's not even
your board you're not
the only one that thing
just collects people
and boards
that and that little thing that was sticking out
of the ground everybody's board was hitting it
yeah gary smoked my crowd killer well i started out good
and basically got my best wave line was
my first one and then i never got another one they grabbed
that big old the thing that
detonated gary's board right yeah took it out
of the water lifeguard shoveled it out of the water
yeah sketchy stuff showing
and some sketchy stuff out there like where you're surfing people are
definitely hitting some boulders
and stuff out in the lineup it's not that chill down here anymore
never was that addy yeah i tried to get down there
but i don't know if i did
so i think it's tractor time pretty much all
week down here they're building up a sand berm
in preparation for probably the Kelvin wave
and the high tides coming next week thankfully it
doesn't look like there's like a big south swell paired with it
so hopefully they can get away with
it but even today today's pretty good sized
but yeah it's um i think these tractors are just
really trying to protect all the homes
and all the coastline on the peninsula after after what
happened with the flooding october 9th october 10th
was the big swell that hit hit all these
houses should i
put this in the
collection pile
the rail of my
crowd killer
is completely
blown
out he's gonna go right
in time for the rain
on wednesday thursday
maybe friday i don't think
we're gonna get a lot of rain
but they were on it man they nailed it with getting that thing covered
up really not much to report other than that looks like
the job's finished these guys are chilling
eating lunch those guys deserve to chill they
were working hard the past few days man they were
getting smoked by waves just yeah it looks it looked kind
of like a sketchy job too
so props to them for getting it done and uh in time
but yeah it does kind of look like there
might be some more um sand and maybe some new like boulders
at the base of the cliff i think that's
that's a good thing
because it's something to buffer waves just going straight into it so i
think there's just a different swell
in the water than there has been the past few days so it might
be helping uh helping build a little barrier
to for waves to hit it a little less from the south
a little more from the west yeah exactly seems
to be helping usually a lot more sand down here
the set every day now there's
water hitting the front of the
i want to get a grate blaster it is kind
of a sandbag on the beach right here that's not good
it's really exploding under
the roofs probably all
this past week water
falling off the reef
If a really big wave comes and hits here the right way,
it'll blow out of this grate.
Can you hear it?
Yeah.
Get in position.
It's
not
supposed
to
be
wet
all
the
time.
Oh my gosh, it's so slippery.
If you have the wreaths on, it's really sticky like it came in there.
Can you have a wreath?
Oh, this one might be the one.
Later, guys.
Ho-ho.
Twice.
What?
You said
you didn't
hit the
rebar,
Gary.
Everyone's just so worried about that soft board,
and no one's worried about if I were to have it.
Worried about is what Bruno's gonna say.
I might be hiding that one until I get her a new one.
He doesn't need to know.
