Long time since I left the Northern Beaches ('04) - but Wayne at LineUp in Dee Why always saw me right, whether it was for a block of wax or my first custom board.

Started at 11 years of age on a strange kneeboard type thing that I learned to stand (in a wobbly manner) on. Moved onto a 6'10 single, and got better at going straight ahead in whitewater. Years went by, many boards went by, and now at 35 and on a 6'9" custom from Lineup - and yep, I still suck! Sp...

I guess the press have to remain impartial - after all "JetSki" does not describe the craft, it is just a Kawasaki trademark. What if it is a SeaDoo, Yamaha, Tiger Shark, etc etc? When I was living in the UK they got called Wetbikes or Waterbikes a lot - over here in NZ they tend to be a PWC or Pers...

Never seen a shark whilst surfing - although have seen dolphins and a mate got attacked by a seal once (long story - morale of which is "picking up a seal pup from the water whilst Mum is in vicinity = bad idea"). Whilst Scuba diving though, I have seen plenty of reef sharks, and one large tiger (in...

Help, I am confused... Did;

a:) Kreepy forget to log off his Puuri profile before attempting to post as KK and end up showing his multiple personalities to all and sundry.

B:) Puuri just talk to himself and advise himself that he is not racist?

Man, at this rate, KK is a walking talking advertising billboard for Berocca!! By the time he is 40, there is really no doubt that he will; a:) have broken the 100,000 post mark on Realsurf b:) broken the light barrier c:) gotten out of a surf at last I'm feeling tired just trying to remember all th...

With all, ummm, due respect KK, it's pretty ironic for you to say that [quote]The good thing is crack when it ever gets any size all the heroes are on here tapping away while your out there getting kegged.[/quote]. Given that you seem to have one of the the highest posting rates of any user on this ...

I lived in DY for a couple of years, left in '05. Yeah, it was crowded, but less so that a lot of other NB waves, and with far less aggro. As to the videos and surf reports - I still look @ RS pretty much every day (and wish I was back there),. DY often looks like the last choice compared to some of...

Hey Clif, I probably should have clarified that a large number of those off the shelf boards had come of the the shelf for the first time a long time before I happened upon them. Mostly the boards where cheap and nasty - second or tenth hand. I think the cheapest would have been 10 bucks (a snapped ...

Interesting to see people slagging LineUp @ DY. I lived in DY for a few years before slinking back home to KiwiLand, and 'twas Wayne who hooked me up with my first custom board. Wayne was good to deal with, always cheerful, and sorted out what is absolutely my best ever board after about 40 assorted...

Dunno what they were using at Bells, but a large number of modern skis are 4 stroke which means significantly less noise and pollution. Much the same pollution as a 1000cc motorcycle (i.e not much). Last time I rode a four stroke, I had to keep checking to see if it was running, they are super quiet...

I'm a business analyst in the operating theatres at Wellington Hospital, NZ. Formerly a business / IT consultant, and formerly a Dee Why resident - missing those waves and that beach every damned day!

I lived in Clyde Road a couple of years ago - but was dissatisfied with the surf so moved to England :-). It was no better there, suprise suprise, so now I live in NZ where steamers are needed even in the middle of summer... Damnit. Still come over to DY 3 - 4 times a year for some decent warm water...

I lived in Dee Why for a few years up until 2004, and didn't find the crowds too off putting. If you walk down the beach a bit you could always find yourself a quiet peak. Still, I gotta say - if you class 8:30am as "early" then you will find crowds. Best time at DY was the super early, 6am or sligh...

Desperate Twinks eh . . . I'll have to check that out later - not sure if it will be "in line with policy" here at work.

When I lived and surfed on the northern beaches I had a kick ass boss who understood the pull associated with good waves. His attitude was basically "You know what you have to do and when you have to do it by, who am I to tell you when and where to do it". So, a surfin-I-would-go. If it meant I had ...

I currently work about 10hrs a day... 11 hrs if you count the lunchbreak, which ain't workin'. My current job, business analyst in a busy hospital operating theatre suite, keeps me flat out pretty much all the time. On the whole "work from home" thing, my last job in Sydney allowed me that flexibili...
