Larry, I’m not your post needs the topless girl photos. Some might think you a sending a bit of a mixed message.

As this is a surfing thread, I’ll post that photo of the young Rex surfing.

I love the tough guy posing.
In the immortal words of Rex Mossop, They don’t look like they could knock a sick girl off the toilet.

It’s great to hear from you, Digger.
So, your back is not great?
How are the kids going?

For easier display, I’ll imbed those photos. It’s a fun board comparison. After switching to longer boards over the last year from 6’0s and below performance fishy types these are my two go too’s now Both 7,2. and same dims - Vouch Evo single for cruisier smaller days and the Simon Jones Massive cha...

Went to the tub today. Had a sub par session but the whole experience was marred by a serious customer service fail. The siren for last wave had gone everyone was lined up for their waves, when about 10 people who I assumed where the lifesavers swam past the line of surfers to the take off zone and...

The creative thing about Waco is that they didn’t seem constrained by thinking they should closely mimic regular ocean waves.

The Tulla tub looks a short fun wave. What makes it good is the number of waves you can get. Steve wrote that he rode 42 waves in two hours. You are not going to get that at the beach.

Are there more waves per surfer on the Central Coast?

Sorry about that, but I do love the old movies.

You can watch it on the Langland webcam on gowerlive if you’re that interested. Should be fairly chunky on Friday

I did watch the Langland webcam on the day. It was a bit chunky, but I must say the surfer behaviour was mystifying.

Those waves do look like tiddlers. Pretty though. But I agree, probably far too cold to bother with for us spoiled Aussies.
In east coast Australian conditions, you would go out for a relaxed scenic paddle, but that’s while you are waiting for some swell to arrive.

Get away with what?
Saying it’s awesome being a good surfer?

Well, if that annoys you, Nick wrote a whole book on the subject.

“The Complete Guide to Surfing Your Best - Vol 2 : Advanced surf skills and knowledge for all surfers” by Nick Carroll

You could buy that book and be super annoyed.

Pinhead, did anybody hit the pool bottom?

And it will be a learning experience because little AJ’s first comment will be, what the fk is a mile*?

*I’ve from the pre-metric era, but I have heard this comment made by a few callow youngsters aged under 50.

BEERFAN RETURNS!!!!

They’ve got an indicator dye in the pool which reacts with urine to form a bright orange cloud.

Growing up, it was some classic shots through the pandanus of surfing at Crescent Head that gave the spot its somewhat overrated status. We would stare at the photos for hours. North Coast dreaming.
