Yeh, I stop putting numbers on it above the 10-12’ category.
Exactly. Unless someone’s surfing giant shit then best to refrain from calling sizes.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

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.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Anyone surfed either little or big Marley beach in the royal national park before? It’s around a 50 min walk north or Wattamolla. I’ve checked it on foot three times now, and curious to hear from anyone that’s surfed it. Apparently it’s deemed by SLSA as one of the most dangerous unpatrolled beaches...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Geoff McCoy and Grant Miller seem like the epitome of the egocentric shapers. Geoff probably takes the cake, deluded, jaded, grumpy, etc. equally both these shapers have odd fan bases that lap up their kool aid.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Is there any shaper out there that Doesn’t have some sort of weird ego/complex?

I can’t recall ever dealing with one that was down to earth.

Yeah I’m not sure anyone truly knows. Many Shapers are egotistical and always seem to think they’ve got the special sauce. Weird bunch

Looked to be at least 8 foot of strong south groundswell hammering through. From suck rock thru to voodoo rights was a a total closeout. And the lefts...
