Hello winter my old friend, you've come to freeze our nuts again

Big nights out on Fri and Sat night couldn't dissuade us from squeezing a surf in the middle. Big swell was predicted for the weekend so Joeleee, Mendes, Zombie and yours truly made the trip to Ocean Grove to enjoy a beach break after some reef stress of previous weeks. The biting wind meant that it had officially become 'booty' weather with Sergio almost catching hypothermia and Stubbs losing all feeling in his feet for most of the day. Only Joeleee, who apparently has the penguin-feet-gene found the water warm. Either way we all catch a bunch, even if half are just frothing white-water. Beachnik Café at Barwon heads sorts us out for lunch, all of us taking the namesake burger. Unorthodox toasted bread in place of bun and no tom-sauce, but the great pattie, chutney and fresh beets compensate to make it a definite tasty burger. Having said that, all I can think about as I write this is more Tolarno action this Thursday!
