I miss the ole' time kilojoule days

It does sidestep the focus on wave height though, and addresses the non-linear power of waves

OK, its time to drag out that big day at Ulus in 2008. No-one out at 7am, it was awesome! Two guys tow in at about 8:30am

Skip to 1 minute where a surfer tows in and rides from the outside bomby all the way...

So how big was it?

Yeah, good response Steve... the old adage: if you act like prey you're way more likely to get treated like prey

Well done guys. This was a lovely, heartwarming story arc that I did not see coming.

Ahhh, the beguiling perfection of realsurf at its best!

No cabins, Cranked. Must be thinking of the Nasho's southern beachies.

Oops, you're right 2nd Reef.

Hatchy, I've surfed it a few dozen times ages ago, never when it was big as I usually went there when Cronllua was small or to avoid crowds.

A nice boil on the Northen end and a mellower break south.

Are the shacks still there?

What a bummer AJ, things aren't going to well.

We had a caravan at the Bendalong caravan park in the 70s for a few years. Great memories, it would be sad to see Don Hearn's Cabins go.

Not a single surfer has been killed by a shark in Indonesia, nor has there been any serious injuries. :-D-: Some pretty gnarly injuries to hands at that certain rivermouth break in Bali. The locals have actively 'discouraged' talk about the last few attacks, there's been more than you'll find on so...

Since 1990 when Great Whites were protected they have made up some lost ground and are back up to about 70 percent of their historical level. But still, the recovery is going slowly. Females don't start reproducing until they're about 15-feet long.

Where do I join up?

Well done Grooter... bummer he didn't make it.

Too true buddy and steve!

Are there any decent surf mags now?

Yep from my bicep, but chest side. There's about 20 stitches in it and there's still a big yellow bruise all around it.

I had a fifth shot on Monday. No bad reactions at all. A guy I was hanging out with in Bali got it so it's still a thing for sure. Also had a basal cell carcinoma on my forehead cut out a week ago. Surgeon did a skin graft to cover it up. I've had a compression bandage on it for a week. I'm seeing h...

I've written so many use cases over the years that my life is just another set of them
