Re: Ask Kook
Ran down to the edge to jump in, the drop off was deeper than I expected and I fell forward onto the board and split my lip open. Paddled out as though nothing happened and everyone was polite enough to not say anything. Another time I picked up the board from a ding repair where my arse snapped a f...

Re: GO MEDINA!
Well, when you have recovered from laughing at all these hilarious 7-1 posts, return to enjoying the feeling of vicarious pride in having a fellow countryman win a world title. I can assure you most aussies and seppos (and some poms in '89) have when one of ours have won.

Re: winter fourteen
Anyone with authority care to comment on the recent forecast? Could you call that an ECL forming late this week, and is that strange for mid Aug?

Re: Sunday swell
Ok I under called it very slightly. Tonight was 4-6 with a few odd bigger set and plenty of power. Reasonably crowded but you could still get plenty of waves. Yeh I admit it. It was fun as. Best surf for a while for me. Surfed my trusty Simon Anderson XFC rounded pin and ended up with a big woody. ...

Re: Ask Carroll
2 questions:
1. What is the deal with those logs balanced on the top of the sawn off trees on the hill above Kimbriki tip?
2. What would happen if you pissed into a Dyson Airblade - and why on earth is there no video on the internet of it?

I was surfing carparks once and a large tailor* launched out of the water and hit me in the shoulder.

Re: Crowds.
Just remember that you are not separate. There is not you and the crowd. You are part of the crowd.
To me, people complaining about crowds seem oblivious to this.
"I went out surfing at a crowded break and it was harder to avoid people"
No kidding.

Re: Ask Carroll
Do you think it is possible to improve in average conditions? Young family duties kybosh any travelling to decent breaks, and I feel my surfing is stagnating. I only get out once every 1 or 2 weeks on the nthn beaches. I've been surfing 20 years but I'd rate myself at the lower end of intermediate ...
