Re: Just general surfing stuff

So who tipped you off Sean? You don’t seem to have been round here for a while and suddenly you turn up. Only fair though that he gets to have his say. Fair isn’t the issue Trev. Previous post to today was 2012, like BA, I wonder why he chose to visit RS today. Well it's obvious he was alerted to t...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I remember the Hynd story and i thank you for that. I think ive thanked you in person . According to Hynd he also asked i write it so that double whammy must have helped get it over the line. The editor seemed happy enough with it, readers seemed to like it . I also thank and thanked you for what y...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Oh, it must have been everyone else then Sean. Pretty sure I popped a few things in the mail to Tracks.....maybe it was either side of your tenure. Maybe they were just too shit for you to remember. I'd have to go back to the archive. All good though now thanks mate. The point: pretty obvious. The ...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

thats just a lame personal attack that's not true Nick. The very last person I'd expect to shepherd me through a "moral crisis" would be a surf mag editor. I made contributions, they were rejected. I wrote letters and emails, they went unanswered. What I had to say , was not required, nor publishab...

Re: The Best of Captain Goodvibes

One of Tony Edwards' anecdotes from the book... WINDYRIDGE "There’s a small painting in tne Art gallery of NSW by Roy De Maistre called “Above Palm Beach 1927”. It shows a woman sitting on a curved balcony with her back to the view, dressed in a Kimono and holding a painted silk umbrella. I remember...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Daylight saving... humbug. Rewards the fcuken lazy. Steals an hour off anyone keen enough to salute the dawn and hands it FOC to some lazy peanut who slept through the whole thing.

Re: Whose Life is it anyway

... it crossed my mind to write one too, long before it would have been an idea for Tracks and Sean too. But I wasn't prepared to be put in a position of exploitation for the Petersons. So I didn't. Happily cop to the rest, Chine, but this insinuation sits a little uncomfortably with me. Care to el...

Re: New Book about Peter Troy

Morning gents... the books are on a freighter somewhere in the straits of molucca, heading south. Unless the go via Nias they should be here in the next week. Or two. We're finding international freightage to be a somewhat inexact science. The book was edited by a mate of mine, Brendan McAloon, was ...

Re: Vicco this weekend

Been trawling through Barrie Sutherland's not unsubstantial body of photographic work for a project I'm collaborating on. Am told the shot's of Terry Wall... Easter '65? Plucked the date out of the air and am very happy to be corrected. I'd be praying like that on the sand if I was paddling out in M...

Re: Vicco this weekend

Nice pics SN. Thinking about big Bells, I remember seeing a contest pic a few years back taken in the 80s I think, during a massive swell. Old mate was caught inside a monster and is praying on his board. I've tried to find that photo since then but no luck. Any leads? http://www.watermarksphotogal...

Re: so what happens to the surfers who dont make it into the 32?

After Chopes the world title deciding events flip to a 36 man format -- 32 seeds and four wildcards. They're not sure of the format yet partly 'cause 36 is a cnut of a number. Pretty sure it's gonna be a first round of 12 x 3-man heats, 1st and 2nd through to round three, the 12 guys who finish 3rd...

Re: It's 5am in J-Bay.

Occy in the commentary booth and a cutaway shot of a solitary seagull in between sets. Twist the top off your beer, sit back, and enjoy. It doesn't get any better.
