Nice mate, great to see josh still shaping, albeit infrequently. You just know it’s going to be fast, it’s red!

He's definitely shaping infrequently. It took about two months to get this one out of him. Shaping, glassing, colour work is all top notch though.

Wasn't sure whether I should post these pics due to the bitterness and envy they would cause. Josh Dowling. PU/PE 5'7" x 18 3/4" x 2.4" 29 litres asymmetrical. (He does the odd PU/PE for people if they want something interesting made) Josh did a raised deck in the tail - like an arch bar. So the tai...

5', 17 seconds and offshore on Sunday - will be some broken boards on the Surfcoast.

Bells bowl looks boring, I bet Winki is smoking.

Today was victory at sea stuff, tomorrow will see quality waves and surfing - JJF would be my favorite

Oh definitely. I thought Italo was gonna be toast.

So did he I think, post heat interview had a brush with mortality vibe.

And what’s up with you steve? Suspended all your critical faculties now you’re writing for the kindergarten? Imagine a non surfer trying to make some sense of this. They’d switch off in bemused disgust after 2 minutes The hype cuts through though - a bunch of people at work have been telling me abo...

Christ these pro surfers are dumb

Are you referring to Owen not bothering to wax his backup board on a 10 ft day?

JJF just nailed a closeout hack on a 10 footer in front of the Winki button - that's f*cking superhero surfing.

Nah out of 10 for surf forecast. Bells gets 8 stars tomorrow around 7am. What are the locals saying? Who fcuking cares. I didn't see too many of 'em out at Winki just then and it was smoking. Making Bells look silly. I can tell you this, at 9.30am the Cape Sorell buoy off Western Tasmania spiked fr...

I doubt anyone would be out in those conditions today without jetski assist.

50 year storm and their websites not fccckn working. Anyone would think they had hired shearer to run the fccckn thing. Watch it via swellnet like everyone else. You can see it live on the wsl site. Don't register - click skip or later at the bottom of the register box. And enable trackers and you ...

Actually - There was only a handful out at Centreside this afternoon. Everywhere else was packed. You had to drive to Southside from Jarrosite road and hike down the hill. Got a couple of nice ones. Hiking back up the hill wasn't so much fun though.

Plenty of talk about whether the girls get sent out tomorrow. Some interesting comments from Maurice Cole here. https://beachgrit.com/2019/04/from-the-equal-pay-for-equal-work-dept-will-the-wsl-run-the-women-at-ten-foot-bells-tomorrow/ 10-12’ @ 17 seconds with a 40 knot cross-onshore. Gonna be an i...

I thought he ended up on the rocks at high tide and a rising swell and couldn't get back up.

Yes thats right, no shark involved.

Bells / Winki is the most unsharky place I've ever surfed. True two people have been nipped on the ankles there but nothing serious.

Worst start to Autumn in living memory, just rolling on from the worst summer ever.

Not in Vicco. Great start to Autumn rolling on from a great summer.
