And here's a quick weather update... typical Gissy... bring sunscreen and a beanie just in case! Looks like a full programme looming (certainly don't want to jinx things though!)

Welcome to the week of nationals!! Great forecast for Gissy, if it can escape the Cyclone Hola remnants (especially the gorge)... here's what the swell is doing...

We're just over a week away from Nationals 2018 - and we get to head to one of the coolest venues going. Who's excited about hitting Gissy?!

Guess you could say that the International Surf Rescue Challenge in Australia at the moment is the first act of a huge NZ season, which will come to a head at beautiful Ohope in just six short months' time!
Who's going to be there?!

What a great day of racing at the first test of the International Surf Rescue Challenge. Got some cool happy snaps but don't have any WIFI to upload them all sorry. Rest day tomorrow and then back into it Saturday. View all the results here: http://bit.ly/1NZFQ2J.

Swell building at Midway!

Definitely a little bit more happening around the contest site this morning. 1 to 2 feet of weak S/SE swell with the biggest sets breaking to the right of the Midway Club House. Forecast to increase slightly throughout today and then drop away toward Friday. Still a large NE swell (no good for Midway) forecast to hang around until Saturday. Here's hoping for a little more South to come into it over the next two days.

This guy won five NZ ironman titles in a row, seemingly effortlessly. Bloody great to hear things are going well for him on the Gold Coast these days...
