Re: the young clubbie killed at the aust titles on the goldy
thanks Nick....as i've tried in vain to explain to the people at work it's a tragic accident(bad luck).No different to a rugby scrum/tackle gone wrong. The mindset seems to be due to the litigious nature of our community that blame has to be apportioned to a person or controlling body. Like no doubt...

Re: F******g J*w
Mick has to realise or be coached better by Rip Curl(like athletes in other sports globally are) that anything that comes out of his mouth at anytime sober/pissed is a quote to a journo unless he's already agreed before hand with said journo to discuss a subject "off the record" e.g the alternative ...

Re: Australian Surfing Life Issue 254 / Nov - Independent Review

I'd have thought the circulation may not have increased anywhere ne...

Re: ASP TRESTLES IS ON - WAKE UP !
Is the lack of depth being reported a fault of the journo's or are they really just writing a few lines as this seems to be the current attention span of Gen Y?
