Re: Kevin Platt Surfboards

Really high quality mags those ones. Great photos for the time and quality gloss paper. I'm pretty sure of the date because that was one of the first mags I ever bought when I started surfing. Short articles, poems. Large format photos. I think John Witzig was learning the ropes there as well.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Had a bash at the windblown chunks on offer. A bit of fun in the crowds. Good to get in the water. Still a few seven wave sets belting in occasionally.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Shark Island looked absolute crap n the cams. Bronte was big and closey outie . Fun to watch. Got covered while standing up the top of the walkway past the baths. I mean right up the top. That's a big spray. Three guys out. Apparently someone tried to go out off the rock shelf up from the usual jump...

Re: Fingal Bay NSW

I've surfed around there a bit. Is it Seven mile beach.....or one mile near there? Surfed off the point at the South end when everywhere else was huge.....probably like this weekend. Was up there in a huge swell with howling southerly and the waves were refracting right around the islands bit to the...

This is when we should be getting a rundown on charging some obscure North Side Reef from Carroll.

Hatchies session doesn't sound that inviting to me.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

A few bombs smashing the brave hearted at Bronte earlier. Even the rubber duck had to gun it for the horizon at one stage. Actually had a plan to do a surf mission up to a rarely breaking left that's the longest left in Oz. But no enthusiasm at our house. Geeze. Lucky I didn't go since the winds gon...

Re: bonzers.....the quad fad is over

Wow, vintage board as well. PT used to ride G&S Bonzers for quite a while back in the day. This continued to ad fuel to the PT is a California Style cruiser Spray. Then he went and lived in the States just to prove it.

Re: How old are you? Seriously!

I always found it funny in Newcastle you had Bar Beach Locals, Dixon Park Locals and Merewether Locals then in between all of these sub species. All on basically one beach about the length of Bondi. Plenty of good surf though. I never used to surf in town, didn't like it and didn't have to, lots of...
