Straight from the horse's mouth


Report from Steve -slightly edited :)

Water felt heaps colder today as I packed my wifes thermals. Dunno about vis as it was cloudy but I was back to the beach at 7.15am.

10 knots west wind, decent swell. Got in line with point x in ...9m of water.

Yakka was in for about 10 minutes. Got hit and turned it after the first run.

Came in easy until I almost had it at the the leader  then it went ballistic.

I locked it up and went hard on it but it was nowhere done and went closest to flipping the ski i've been during a fight. It went hard under the ski near the end.

3 blokes watching nearby yell out. Is it a bonito? WTF





Nice on Steve that is either 4 or 5 metres in a year ive lost count. Came in at 1.01m
