Its not garbage, Steve. Objectively not garbage.

Follow Magic Seaweed/Surf Forecast for a 6 week period and map against reality.

I have.

You will of course be posting the results of this 6-week mapping so we can evaluate them independently.....

Cranked, you’re an OCD completist with plenty of time on his hands - for a week, take a morning, noon and night picture of your favoured spot and post it together with the Kj rating and any other supporting evidence you feel necessary. That will surely sway the naysayers to your side of the argument

'Fragile Egos' will be the name of the Panicked Mummies triumphant coast to coast tour of Australia, playing to full houses of balding, thickening men running from the existential dread by immersing themselves in their obsessions

Rob Davies runs surf - and indeed Snow - Forecast.com. Are you thinking of Tony Butt?

He’s a proper geographer/oceanographer so I’m sure it has a rock solid theoretical foundation

Shall I get someone to email rob so he can justify his kilojoules in the public space?

C'mon Legion, Trev has explained this like a million times. He's not a moderator, he's the Chief Moderative Administrator (Moderator Division)

Yeah but surely Nick that was when the comps were run by clothing companies, featuring the sponsored riders of said clothing companies and when surf media was a handful of mags featuring the comps and the sponsored riders of the clothing companies. Presumably nobody cared because a) there were too m...

Of course it’s better. That was surely never up for discussion. But, for the hundredth time, nobody is watching. Steve followed the numbers and they were risibly low. Lower even than when Swellnet did it a few years ago. So unless someone has a compelling solution for eliminating lulls and explainin...

Even some Lennox Head experts have a failure rate of 99%, steve. Some go whole years without catching a single wave

Thanks for the exchange rate info beany. Very useful. The contest was in SA, by the way, so the cheques are in Rand

That sounds like a yes

Is loof a poo-stancing straightliner?

Roll the legs up?

Easyjet and Air France fly from Paris to Biarritz. It'll probably cost about £80 return in September - bit more than the train but three hours quicker. Probably what I would do is hire a crappy little camper from these guys https://www.campycamper.com/my-little-campy/?lang=en (150 euros for three da...

Great contests in great waves are nothing new though are they. The perennial problem of nobody watching isn’t going to be addressed by a brief upward spike in wave quality

What happened to steve's reportage? I thought he was watching every minute of every heat so we don't have to

Plus, legion’s ski analogy is patently ludicrous
