RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Godsave, as a member of team spectrum I feel your pain, although that probably disqualifies me. One thing I've learnt while doing beach surveys is that people want very different things from their beach experience. A substantial minority, 30% or so of those at metropolitan beaches, say they would ON...

5! yrs to the day i rocked up with beers on the point eh Shep after taking in Byron w the 'boo. great time that was. Was just saying today I will have one of those sugarcane juice drinks tomorrow. I've had 5 surfs in the last 36 hours, gorging myself before the famine, managing to find some fun amo...

If you can cope with the sea of human flotsam, there are some fun waves in the bay, Steve.

Gave the old girl a touch up with a white auto touch up pen.

Beans, people are about to eat dinner, they don't want to hear about your sex life.

The ability of most of the eastern suburbs beaches to make a sow's ear out of a silk purse is still pretty soul destroying, you have to admit.

Well, you can't win em all.

Cranked I hope you get the neck sorted out and your wife gets good news too.

Yeah but after he's leered at them in the surf they won't give him an appointment.

Just had my first malignant* skin cancer cut out.
BCC, upper arm.

*Probably malignant, I don't fcuk around with biopsies, just get them to remove anything suss.

I'm in my 30s. Get your skin checked.

I didn't watch the video, but how good is Mitch's!
And wahoo's fish tacos is nearly next door, while across the street there's a place that sells hotsauce and liquor.

Maybe my favourite set of shops in the world.

Your maths is wrong, duck. Well, technically your maths is right, but you don't know how to work out percentage change. You've worked out the new rate as a percentage of the old rate. Percentage change is: (New-old)/old * 100 It's (0.70-0.05)/0.70*100 = 0.65/0.70*100 Closer to 93% than 92%, but Nick...

I like the board but want it to be a rounded pin.

I really hope that other hand is holding your wine glass.

Can't believe Grooter is upset about having a plate for life.

Nick's explanation left out the massive dredging campaign that buried Kirra reef and dramatically changed the nearshore beach profile in Coolangatta bay, back in 1995-96 and 1998. And the bypass volume has tried to match the natural rate of sand transport since 2006, they just didn't do a great job ...

So true loof.
Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I rode my bike at 28km/h for almost 10 minutes?
Cadel Evans was in the group ride, he told me I was born to be a cyclist.

I didn't surf anywhere, and it was the first decent swell in years where I haven't even considered driving down to the coast. I realised, as I was checking the snow report for a place I won't visit for probably 5 years, that I've given up even the pretence of being a surfer. Realistically, I'm a sno...

13s is actually fairly long period for the east coast.
7-9s is pretty standard north of Byron.
