Yeah can totally relate, could only schedual 3 hrs to surf yesterday in the last two weeks, paddled out at small kalk bay, only doormat in the water amongst a crowd of surfers. But as the tide dropped away and the reef became more exposed the surfers got out, the waves got bigger and more consistant and soon i had the reef to pretty much too myself. 3 hrs later and heaps of barrels later, i too left the water, stoked.
