The Popeye thing is more obvious in my right arm than my left.

Thanks this is good to know - mine's gone from shoulder end - ortho said the main muscle is under the bicep.

Old age and wear and tear huh

A mate of mine had both biceps detach, same thing, got the Popeye arms now. Nothing can be done about it in his case, but he still surfs and it hasn’t stopped him doing anything he wants to do. I was surprised when he told me the tendon goes all the way over the shoulder and attaches at the shoulde...

Torn bicep tendon anyone? Was due for a shoulder op first week Feb - remove some bone following a year and a half of palaver following a bike stack - partial supra tear and three ill advised cortisone injections later - anyway tore bicep tendon last week - now have the Popeye thing happening - and s...

PM me your email mate

If anyone is interested - Steve, Nick? and I think I sent this to you Boo - I found a CD in Vinnies titled "Severe storms on the east coast of Australia 1770 - 2008" by Jeff Callaghan and Dr Peter Helman from Griffith Uni - I've saved it as a PDF - seems like a pretty comprehensive list by these egg...

A few fun waves right out behind the rock at flatty on the low tide. After a couple of hours a shadow went under me that didn’t surface so I made my way in, feet up catching a few along the inside. I definitely thought of that massive beached sperm whale near sth Bal. A few years back I was out the...

Link please...

fuschia yes. total shiteshow here. I know about 5 families going to lennox/byron for the holidays. I wouldn't be inviting them around when they get back - I drove through town out to Sunrise at 11am this morning and saw three vic plates with luggage inside and boards on the roof sitting in the traf...

that shark stayed in virtually the same spot for hours, even when the chopper tried to scare it off. It came back to the same spot, within just a few metres, the next day, and again stayed put.

And from that day on the shark was affectionately known as "Sharkpole"

We need a like thingo here. I go on this other forum and they have a button you can press that says like or laugh or shock. Or love.

I liked your Sunset story Nick. Probably even loved it but you know...

Fun head high breakwall wedges. Seemingly a little crowded but the majority were just tea bagging and catching nothing. Plenty coming through. https://i.postimg.cc/QCr8QQVD/26803-BC2-5884-4-C4-D-9150-37-D2-A121195-A.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/NF7gpKrH/781-F2-BD4-E982-4947-BC60-7489086-BFBFE.jpg How g...

Awesome - thanks for that. And next surf I'm taking some rope. Just in case.

Looks like I was right. DPI advise 2.39m White Shark tagged and released from SMART drumline at BOULDER NORTH, Lennox Head at 10:42 am on 2 Aug 2019. At the risk of asking a dumb question how the fcuk do you get the hook out of the mouth of a 2.39m GWS? Or do you? Is it barbed? What do they use for...

Murfers. Fcuk I wish I hadn't clicked on that link, or the vanity fair one it linked to.

Same here - that just sucked the life force out of me.

Anyway will their husbands now be known as "Furfies" ?

Just had a gnarly little encounter with a chunky juvenile white. High speed approach, circle, then a fins flared rollover right under me. We very much eyeballed each other. Crystal clear water, sunshine. Me and one other guy out enjoying some rock runner babyfood. :shock: What was your initial reac...

There's a cop on the wall blowing a siren. About 40 surfers at lighthouse ignoring him haha.
