Re: Where did you surf today ?

I often wonder how many cases of Bali Belly are actually from swimming in the ocean, and not from the food. Never been in the wet. Not keen to either. Fcuk the breaks suitable to that season. Eg. Sanur, Keramas, ....... Nusa Dua is great Fair enough - and also acknowledging mm - but, isn't a massiv...

Touche

Best hood is the vested kind. Unconventional, but best worn on the outside so flushes don't run down your neck. There is the occasional problem of potentially drowning though

I worked with a guy who advertised his cock in that mag
A girl I had wild sex with in my late teens sometimes read aloud to me from that magazine. Whoah, always got me ready again after I had self assessed as totally spent

The collection belonged to DG of Seaford

Greg Long could set you on the right path. Did you surf with him?

Other than that, what is the work connection? Okay if it's not for public consumption

Re: Ears

All the best, iggs. Based on my shoulder replacement nearly 2 yrs ago, the prescribers are a little less liberal with the prescriptions than they once were. I didn't have much fun after the need; not much fun at all

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Name the most interesting person in surfing for the last 25 years and why. I actually cannot think of one. I think people in modern surfing are so boring and have not much to say. I think that’s why surfing may suffer commercially. I think Mick Fanning might be an intelligent guy but, poorly educat...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I surf a few places that have had attacks around here but the sharkiest “feeling” place I’ve surfed was Pelicans in Victoria. swvic will know it. And lighthouse near there also felt pretty dodgy paddling across the channel. Haven’t surfed SA or WA though. Yes. Did you ever surf Back Reef down Petet...

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

Back at work today after a bit of leave. My boss was there. He'd surfed earlier that day. Was there with his son who took part in a school surf comp Up where I am now, he took a couple of new employees out on the boat. He dived. I asked if he'd been edgy. The answer was, "Yes" I've been out with him...
