Re: Where did you surf today ?

Scored some uncrowded punchy peaks at a rainforest clad cove yesterday. I tried to come back up the ridge via an old track I used to know, and ended up stuck in a dense burrawang forest with lawyer vine (wait-a-while) as the sun set. Had to retreat back to the beach and take the old track. I was th...

Using linear measures to indicate the power of a wave is like using litres to measure the power of a motor vehicle.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

That was a most excellent find MM. By the by humans aren't prey for great whites, they are too boney (cause bad digestion ppoblems) and have stuff all fat compared to whales and seals. the only threat to surfing higher than the murderous sharks, are the fruity faction who measure waves by kilojoule...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

i would be like a little remora, attaching myself to grooter's back and filling up on all the flying bits of chicken from all the agressive gnashing. hmmm... i wonder if at some stage a big white around nnsw got taken out and that's led to anarchy from all the little ones fuelled up on hormones and ...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

It's not about the change crabby, I've changed my tune as well. It's about not being able to comprehend Steve's view when you held even more extreme views not too long ago. do you think we should cull and net, now? Nah mate, nothing that extreme. I used to think, based on the data at the time, that...

Been a few days since I read the article but I thought Steve was saying nets work but not advocating for their use but advocating for the smart drum lines?

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Crabmeat on possible 50 deaths a year without netting: "and the highlighted bit is a wild bit of guessing, huh?" My edit: Nah, not a wild guess, I'd think it has about a 80% probability. But then again, once it 25 a year the number of ocean users might drop significantly. "i think it has 80% probab...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Netting probably saves at least 50 lives a year in Australia . We've had it for so long that people forget the historic fatalities pre netting. And that was when the population was a fraction of what it is now and without the explosion in ocean usage with the advent of surfing. Meanwhile millions o...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

The inshore marine Environment is as much a human ecological habitat as it is a shark. Even moreso estuaries and rivers. what's your point here steve? i'm struggling to follow (and nah, i didn't read the article, i feel like i've heard it before). if sharks and their presence have upset you so much...
