Re: CHF picks up Quiksilver, Roxy licenses
Over the easter break I took the chance to leave the zoo on the coast and headed to a small town outside of Mudgee called Gulgong, an interesting observation was this, on the saturday night as the younguns moved into the prince of wales hotel for the nights band I noted that amongst these 'country'...

Re: Why do people dry surfboards?
Only smells I get from wet stuff are when my wettie/ towel/ boardies go back in the car damp and stay there overnight. But the smell of the wax overcomes that anyway. I reckon I keep my boards longer than most people ( I'm a cheapskate :oops: )and haven't yet noticed any degradation through leaving ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Absolutely beautiful morning, out before sunrise, surfed till 8 am and rode one all the way to the beach as the next shift (one surfer) walked out to the keyhole. 8) I'd be expecting it even better tomorrow (Wednesday) morning Trev with the wave buoys showing the arrival of the expected E'ly ground...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
It's small up here at last. This morning I had waist high, peeling waves to myself for 2 hours at my local. :lol: I could see people out on the beachies up the coast a bit - probably had another foot of size but hey, I was ALONE. Never stopped catching waves. And every now and then one would sneak t...

Re: Why do people dry surfboards?
I've heard of these people whose boards get smelly and even mouldy if they put them into a board bag wet. I can't remember ever wiping down a board, and the board goes into the board bag wet and comes out wet. It's all left in the garage, it never smells and never gets mouldy. Maybe it's something ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Got hammered several times this morning. One time was one of those, "it's so dark, which way is up?" thingies. Unfortunately it was so heavy, I was still wrapped around my board (arms and legs) and it was down there with me. What sort of weight does it take to bury 9'3" of foam and fibreglass and a ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
A few from this morning. Quality isn't a patch on some of the "gun" photographers on here but I only have a $300 camera. You get the idea, though. Plenty of unridden waves going through, too. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/TrevG27/2009_042109JanSurf0004Small.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Every day seems to just get better.
This morning was the best yet. Swell seems to be arriving. Maybe not as big as expected (yet) but bloody long lines, nice bowly section on the inside.
Gotta love it.

Re: apology not accepted ...
I grew up surfing outside of the surfing culture I suppose, I just didnt want to conform to it. I started surfing late at the age of 14, would never have considered myself a local at any beach as no one can own a beach. I was not a member of any surf club and never had the inclination to join one, ...

Re: 2008 -2009 surf/weather forecast
Mate I've got the Brewer 9"0 waxed up for Sunday bloody Sunday at the Point. 10 foot bomb sets with a 20 knot offshore should keep the crowds on the hill. Seems like it's winding up a little earlier than expected. 2009, a vintage worth bottling. (don't worry Dino the coffee's still shitt here.) Wel...

Re: Rip Curl Pro Live Feed
All seems pretty crazy to me. Leave the numbers alone. Obviously there's a good mix of talent out there. Even a wildcard qualifier can get to the final on a good day.
Would get pretty boring watching the same 16 all the time.

Re: apology not accepted ...
after a while 3 mid 20’s boogie boarders paddled out about 50 meters north of me onto another peak and were getting plenty of waves but after about 30 minutes they drifted down to where I was taking off … the three of them then started buzzing around me paddling back and forwards chasing every bump...
