Re: Ask Carroll

OK Nick I know it is a sensitive issue, but are you game to share your thoughts on the Judging at Pipe. In particular as it gave Fanning the world title? I have some sympathy with the views expressed on some of the US based surf forums. Both of Fanning's heat winning waves were from 2nd reef roll in...

Aren't you guys missing the bleeding obvious...... all the "Coolie kids".

Superbank wins for the current generation, but until one of them has a world title (Occy doesn't count), I think Narrabeen wins hands down.

You always start some good posts 2nd reef. I obviously didn't charge as hard as you cause my gun is still in one piece - Just a snapped legrope for me, and that was just becasue I was too lazy to get the thicker legrope out of the back of the cupboard. I actually think the swell has highlighted a re...

Yea I saw that too. Anyone know the last time the east coast had an 18 second period. I don't even think July 2001 swell had that large a period.

Nice post guys - and thanks for the academic input Ben. I was feeling like a right dufus this morning when I got to work and read the reports on Swellnet.

I mean both Maroubra and Bondi reports make mention of "the best banks/shape in years"...DOOOOOHHHH!

Sorry Oldman - but its called buyer beware, and it should be considered just like any other investment risk. Just like you would not be willing to share your mega profits with the council from the sale of a beachfront property (if it wasn't at risk) that was bought pretty cheaply years ago - owners ...

Personally, I think the guys who work on their fitness should be rewarded with the tactical advantages they can gain from it. With jetskis towing them back out it cuts out that part of the equation. At the end of the day it will still come down to high scoring rides but those that are fitter will c...
