Re: Where did you surf today ?

Best I can remember for a while, Don.
I've had 4 surfs at 4 different spots on 2 different boards with a few different fins, always at least a 7/10 and largest crowd was 5.
Should sneak another tomorrow, Huey willing.

Same as don, but a bit bigger. Finally got my singlefin into some juice. Like a hot knife through butter. So much fcuking fun it felt like it should be criminalised

Re: Bells this year ?

Right outcome but the judging was BS.
10 was an 8 tops, but mick can't talk.
Kelly got skunked on one to even things out, they didn't need to keep blowing smoke up Mick.

Re: The essence of surfing is boldness

allow me to translate:
people wanting rules and systems to get waves are soft
surfers shouldn't be soft
i can't get waves because I'm soft, therefore all young people should piss off

or, alternatively:
i'm a cnut
surfers should be cnuts
except if they are young cnuts

Re: What's to be done with SUPs

Be careful what you wish for, steve. After the accident at currumbin there is/was a proposal to classify all surfboards as vessels Ostensibly to make right of way simpler, but I'm sure rego crossed their mind Somewhat ironically, that would increase the political power of surfers so that they would ...

We've been down this road before, Nick. Noone said that they don't make good products. Noone said that they shouldn't be rewarded for their product development. My current sealed steamer is excellent, and I would have been willing to pay a lot more than I had to in order to obtain it. You want the t...

Re: Buying land

Hope you can pull it off Digger. Josh would know more about setting up a container as a shaping bay, but I would've thought they'd be pretty hard things to cut in half? Reckon you'd be better off using the container for one or the other (guess glassing) and make a shed for the other. ah, don't mind ...

yeah, I can see the similarity. For mine it's more like a mix between Sydney and Brisbane. Sprawl, car-centric, patches of nice older stuff replaced by cookie-cutter crap. But then it has the harbour. Whereabouts in North County were you? Differs greatly by suburb. La Jolla is full of 1%ers, big pha...
