Re: Just general surfing stuff
You would think so. It just looked weaker than Melbourne. Though I think Kale’s impressions of the wave were honest and he was the one surfing them. He said he thought there some less abrupt takeoffs than Melb. Presumably to reduce the risk of injury.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I wondered if they had the dial turned down a bit.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I think any slight criticisms added into the review are simply to make it sound objective. Of course Kale is going to be favourable of it. His business is dependant on urbnsurf. Yes, he likes wave pools and they are great for his business and he’s a freeloading appreciative guest of the facility. B...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It looked very underwhelming. Even on a below average day in the Sydney area, I reckon you’d be able to find a more fun wave in the briny.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Wave pool enthusiast, Kale Brock, gives a pretty honest review after his test drive at the soon to open Sydney wave pool.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It would be significant but he would have no idea about specifics- that information is concealed in commercial in confidence documents. Sure, but he would be privy to the in-house WSL celebratory messaging that a big one had been landed and I think he would have a pretty good feel for the ballpark ...

Because it sounds like a lot and Ronnie stressed the ‘massive’.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I still retain a romantic semi-spiritual (in my mind) connection with snapper and environs based on my formative experiences there throughout the 1970s. I have many memories of that time that remain very clear and present to me. A bit ridiculous perhaps with the modern snapper and I have largely let...

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...

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