RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Is this the thread where crabmeat was thinking about a new board? I'm a fan of Jordy but to his competitive detriment his style is too relaxed. He really makes this summer board look good:

so I mostly shined the small beachies on offer

What? That seems like something a murfer would say.

Yep. Looking good.

Haha just checked the website: Public report large unknown sp. shark sighted 10:50hrs 12/09, Secret Harbour Beach, north of Mandurah 20m offshore 2Km North of Surf club. Callers said was 7M in length. UPDATE to prior report 2.1m unknown sp. shark sighted 10:50hrs 12/09, Secret Harbour Beach, north o...

Here's another: a 5m one swam past me and two other surfers about 10m away. We never saw it. It ignored us.

In the newspaper today some eyewitnesses reckon they saw a 7m one yesterday . Which makes it 2m bigger than the largest one tagged and about the same size as Jaws.

It was that big when I visited

Gunna be a very barren summer around here without Cranked to keep it ticking along.

How would you know? You disappear for 3 months as soon as the tard comp comes around.

Wow, just wow

Did you ever get one?

got a couple of cheap ones from BigW ......which I replaced wheels and bearings on and work fine.

30 bucks each.

This sounds like a great idea

Tightening wheel nuts to remove free play should be easy, same as on cars.

What about buying a Japanese pull saw? Thinner kerf and more accurate cut.

Certainly within 5 years I had one swim past. Despite 2 or 3 news helicopters overhead and several cars on the beach it barely scored a mention. It's not the ones that make the news bulletins I'm referring to. And the ones that do cause beach closures definitely don't make the news very often. These...

Exaggeration but given the notifications on the website vs the number that are not tagged and not seen you can assume that they are regularly swimming past you.

The shark patrol is only in summer.

Cranked they're everywhere all the time.

If you look at that website and stay out of the water you would never go surfing. Sometimes it's a daily occurrence, multiple times a day.

Cranked it's an everyday thing. Don't let it get to you.

I want to see steve in his Large Short 3/2 kitesurfing springy with boardies over the top and a hood .
