Sounds like the conditions there are pretty darn good. Head high is a nice fun wave for me now. Double overhead seems a bit much - especially given the energy behind the Pacific waves you surf.
The wave period is crap - 6 seconds max, but Bond Head acts like a point break as the waves bend around a pier then the beach angles to the east.
When the swell is from the south west they peel for quite a while, then usually hit a bit of a channel, then reform. With a big honking log, I'm able to usually make it to the reform with out too much trouble. With thigh to waist / lower chest high waves this place works. When it's bigger, the waves break on outter sand bars and the rides are much more short on the outside - and having broken once on the outside, the inside waves don't have much power left and are pretty much shit.
At Kinkardine, I had my lake short board out. This guy:

http://willersurfcraft.blogspot.com/201 ... anner.htmlit's based on the design for the Von Sol Shadow - which seems like a 'trendy' board these days... I'm riding it as a twin and it's fast as hell and really skatey. Though yesterday on one of the bigger waves I dropped down the face was a chopped up mess and I really could have used a third fin for a bit of stability. I ate it pretty bad. Good fun. The wind is finally starting to come up around these parts so I hope to get a couple more days out before shore ice makes it impossible.
