ABBREVIATIONS
Bluey      - mal 9'1" tri fin, c.1988 bought Feb 2019
MB.     - mal 8'4" tri by Mick Byrnes owned from new since 1980's
LL      - "Little Log" mal 8'0" single fin, Salubrious Surfboards c. 1960's owned since April '19
Mer.     - Merewether Beach, my local break since 1960's. Consists of The Bomby, Ladies and The Rocks reef breaks that favour Southerly swell and sou-west to westerly winds. And The Middle, a beach break thats ok in NE or E swells.
OMB     - One Mile Beach. A beach further north, protected from S, so prefers small E swells. Point break may be ok in bigger swell and a series of (changeable) beach breaks.
Pogs.   - Pogonoski's Beach a reliable and open beach break next to Merewether Beach that tops out around four feet except in strong NE swells.
Softie      - 6'6" Softech trifin surfboard that I traded in January with my sister and was stolen by my arsehole brother in April.
