Re: Just general surfing stuff
It’s sad Lennox missed out being similarly blessed.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
The one time I went, the loudspeaker announcer was seemingly live calling the event. It was appalling. Imagine going to the footy or the cricket and there was some loudmouth on a public address system giving a live commentary.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I just figure the CS is more like school holidays whereas the CT has a much more oppressive footprint.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I’m never been there for that. The CS might have more competitors, but doesn’t it have a shorter window, less built structures, less hoopla and less constant bellowing loudspeakers?

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Shame about the WSL championship tour returning to Snapper. I’m ok with the WSL as long as it’s a long way away.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
On Tim Bonython’s recent Shipsterns video. Early on someone’s board has been smashed. They pull onto the boat the back section of the broken board. Basically, it’s just the fin cluster. Laura Enever says, “Save the fins, yeah. Those things cost about 800 bucks each.” Someone else says, “More that th...

As they say about sports injuries, no one came back too late.

A good little vid from Laura Enever’s very recent Shipstern’s trip.

Pleasure Point. Is there a better name for a nice surf spot?

Re: Where did you surf today ?
“Didn't even know about waves at Snapper or Green Mount.”
mm, didn’t you ever look seaward when you travelled the short distance between Kirra and Duranbah?

Re: Where did you surf today ?
It has been very sectiony lately. It breaks a bit further out so I guess the banks are less stabilised by coastal structures. That may be nonsense. There were some Kirra days in 2013 and 2014 when it was lined up and firing with long classic Kirra. As good as anything I saw in the 1970s.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Worth watching the start of this vid for good drone footage of Slater’s Kirra tube ride which has been on high distribution this week. It plays the tube twice which I guess saves you from rewinding it.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I scraped my shin on a rock in the surf once. I did nothing special to it but it did take a long time to heal. Possibly a couple of months.

Re: best surfing movie ever
Stu Nettle did report on Swellnet in 2020. Stu Nettle Reels Sunday, 5 April 2020 In 1984, three surfers from Dee Why, Bill McCausland, Graeme Bennett, and Gary Mountford, started a company to make surf hardware. Their first product was the Rocket Block, basically a block of plastic you stuck to the ...

Re: best surfing movie ever
Regularguy, I think you should contact Tim Bonython and ask him what are your chances.
