Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Could you link to that study please? Partial or whole consumption of white shark victims is very well documented in coroner's and official attack reports. Read it a few years ago and haven't been able to find it again. It seemed very reputable when I read it. If you scan this: https://en.wikipedia....

yeah right. https://www.surfline.com/surf-report/on ... d6a7709380

this CT is the worst ever. They've gone to the most remote location in ages, and they're running the thing in 3-4' onshore slop. It's making Newcastle look like fcuken Indonesia.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Have there been many attacks in that area? Tuncurry breakwall always feels very, very sharky. But the beach of the attack looks big and open. Condolences to the poor guy's family, so heavy. There have not. White sharks have been cruising that beach since well before anyone was surfing. No attacks, ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

see this is what I fcuken love about Realsurf, you have a couple of epic days of surf, it feels deeply inspiring and a bit life changing, it sets your brain fizzing, you try to begin the process of explaining how this feels like the great gift of surfing, that it plunges you into the moment where pa...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I've never had much time for old codgers who go on about this and that was way better in the 60s or whatever. Well I like hearing their bs but I've never believed it. The last two days have been full of evidence to the contrary, 8-10’ ledges all morning on Friday then perfect 6’+ barrelling lefts fo...

I wondered why he got a 9.8 from one. Clipped at the exit?

Ryan Callinan's almost-10 was pretty good too.
The judge was probably leaving a tiny bit of space in case he went one better. Nobody had ridden a wave like that all day, when that happens a judge can freeze up a bit.
