Ordinarily I would be wanting to find a new break on this trip but the waves are so good at Telescopes and the water so unusually crowd free that we can’t resist going back for more. This wave will not be breaking at all next week so we are making hay while the sun shines.
I lost count of how many gorgeous peeling lefts I bagged today. The water is so glassy that the take-off, the wave itself and indeed the paddle back out afterwards are a delight. The ride was so smooth and went on for ages across the reef.
There was just our boat visiting the break this morning meaning there were only six people playing in the head high waves, when during peak season that number is more likely to be closer to fifty. As a result nobody wanted to get out. I only threw in the towel in the end because I could barely lift my arms out of the water from three and a half hours of paddling.
