i can't wait for aaarating's review of Proust."...interesting but not unique. you would be surprised how many other young Frenchies have done pretty similar stuff over the decades and eaten a dainty baked good with their cup of tea only to then remember they forgot to buy loo paper while down the sh...

Blue Poles! Now you're talking. Not fake at all. Pollock just got shitfaced and chucked paint around, extremely well indeed. Needs to be seen on the wall to truly appreciate. See, I can't understand how art and measly words can go together - its about perception and emotional response. Totally subj...

that was a good start...i could happily read another 10,000 words or so.

"The Top 50 sportsmen"....huh, so Stephanie Gilmore is a man.

what makes it great? i don't need to tell you, you saw it yourself....it's boringness is what makes it so great. it's a scene of utter desolation and uniformity. war has stripped the earth of all life, human or otherwise. it has even stripped the scene of all earthliness. war has stripped the scene ...

Perhaps the identity of the photographer may give it some symbolic meaning. I remember seeing one of the earliest photos taken in the NSW Art Gallery. It was as boring as Fcuk. Just a grey rocky plane. The site of a major cavalry charge. Crimean War, 1855 'Valley of the Shadow of Death' by Roger Fe...

they banned me from the "i drank at the astra hotel" group for saying that steve sold shit leaf, which is true.

yep, that's him. he does know that wave. i wondered why he was taking so long to paddle back out after each wave, then watched him, and realised i was making my left turn way too early. he was staying close to the rocks most of the way in and getting much longer rides.

i had to drop the GF at the airport yesterday afternoon, so put the board in and went to maroubra. it was crowded as all hell on a hot saturday afternoon. but damn it felt good not to be a bronte. i paddled out at the north end, everyone was sitting in close on the low tide. so i went out the back t...

couldn't sleep so thought i might as well go for an early surf. i really didn't choose too well today. If you were at Bondi the only choice is shitty closeouts. I can't believe how the surf there has been so bad for so long. tama/ bronte was no better. didn't even take the board in, just went for a...

Uv resin + clear sticky tape to conform to the rail = save a heap of sanding time. Only for small dings though. Only got 2 poly boards now so don't need to do it very often. it's pretty damn satisfying how well that works. couldn't sleep so thought i might as well go for an early surf. i really did...

looks like they're keeping it real down in the shire.
goat boat + cronulla point.... as popular as a "i heart sydney" t-rashie at sandon point.

i had a drive around in the morning and afternoon yesterday. not much on offer. there were a couple of people out at bronte, way out the back and way south of the pool.

wooden fins seem like good DIY project.

good point. anything that encourages tow-in surfing and also allows piss-weak paddlers to catch more waves has to be good for surfing.

that would make a faster board, right? i spend enough of my time as it is having to do cutbacks just to make sure i don't outrun the wave. this would just make it worse.

thanks for the help everyone, but there's been a change of plans...stratch indonesia.
qamea island, fiji it is! looks great.

a family member did a runner to fiji in the 1800s...turns out i've got plenty of welcoming cousins in fiji!
