well, for those south of byron anyway

There was a sports/surf writer named Lewis Samuels who started up the 'power rankings' on surfline a few years ago. He was good. He didn't play the game and had some great insights. Now he's been flicked in favour of some trumped up techno coach dribble. To any Australian surf magazine editors - so...

[quote="3 prong"] I struggle as have the earlier reviewers to see what new content a mag can come up with. quote] contemporary surfing print publications should be about JOURNALISM, not news. quality writers with integrity FIND stories, they create them through research and hard work. recycled comp ...

I got this one last week, mainly for the dvd included. i'm a big fan of aussies surfing aussie waves, dont care who they are. but it was a little disappointing, but thats mainly because i'm not a fan of tow-in surfing. yeah agree with longinus, the section on tube-riding was bogus. the article on th...

some of you guys need to start reporting faux shark attacks and sightings

should do the trick.

Nick, I just love the part in Bombora when Midget says that by "next year all the hangers-on won't be around" (paraphrase, sorry)

hate surf schools...

love seein blue bottles beached and all dried up on the beaches up here
if theyre still inflated a strategically placed barefoot stomp pops em good

northerlies bring them down

die you blue ballooned little bastards!

theyre good for chuckin at your brothers or girls

thats what we did. plenty round in moreton bay

an amatuer shaper once told me that fresh water is bad for boards

i find that hard to believe, but he also said leaving your board outside in the sun aint good either, which i agree with. think the foam collapses eventually

good job by fanning, too bad it was a very puss event.

bring on pipeline

Sunday As mentioned in the Vicco thread woke up to storm conditions. Wave buoys were topping 10 metres out in Bass Strait and 5 metres for significant waves, most likely a lot of wind swell as it was gusting to over 40 knots. Headed down to Shoreham after checking out Pt Leo which was blown to crap...

You wanna be careful trying to judge off the webcast. It's hard to see turn angles and since you only get to see a little bit of the wave at a time, putting the ride into context with the wave generally is near to impossible. Also, the cameras switch angles, which has a considerable effect on how w...

whats the wave period gonna be?

'hawaiian' is how i've heard it being described.

I know what you mean someone will do 5 backhand reo's and get a 4.00 and then reynolds gets a superlong, down-the-line right hander, does basically no real dramatic turns and scores an 8.8 methinks wave selection is featuring high on the criteria, rather than just busting as many tricks as possible ...

check out Slater's backhanded barrel after the gnarly double-up

well read!

Stab I can understand, but why does Dane make you hate the tour?

mainly the gushing lackeys lining up to choke on his chicken

plus the IV drip story.

dane reynolds/stab is the reason I hate the Pro Tour

fanning's surfing ability is a reason i keep coming back
