I was driven

Better get used to that

I surfed Biarritz in September and didn't take a wettie because the forecast was 19 degrees in the water and 22 air temp.
It was more like 14 for both and I didn't appreciate it in my 0.5mm wetsuit top.

You could get the train to Biarritz in about 4 hours.
It's like the Byron of France.
But really, I would go to an art gallery or two, drink some wine, eat some good bread.

Well you may not be actual brothers, but you are now sharing DNA.

I have a turf toe injury too, from 2000.

Is he the bloke that looks and surfs like a decaf Machado?

Hakuba was a bit like that in 2000, all these ghost buildings full of furniture that were left over from the Nagano Olympics.

Interesting

Looks like a tooth from a bull, yeah. DPI marine biologist says it's a white. Very narrow base for a white, but it could be from a juvenile, before they swap to mammals. Normally they are more of an equilateral triangle shape, without the raised central portion. Mind you, my sense of scale is all s...

Travel plans might have to change.

Did you end up going, BA?
Planning on heading up there in late September- early October.

I thought you were getting goats?
Is this a convoluted way of saying you jerked off a goat and it shat on you?

If those fcukers pull a Fiji and say they don't have the right boards, so help me...

How did Wilko lose that heat? He was better on every level.
There's gotta be some sort of ruling on air reverses, if they aren't stratospheric and landed cleanly you lose points.

Nick is fcuking bonkers.
Just look at any of his daily workouts.

I don't begrudge him skipping an event he wouldn't do well at to surf perfect CB. Far from it. In his position I would've started skipping events years ago. But they can't give him an INJ for the event. That's not fair to whatever young QS bloke with a ridiculous name is knocking on the door of qual...
