Re: skateboarding ...

My son's skating obsession shows no sign of abating. By sheer chance the below skate comp was on right out front of the hotel we were staying in a Waikiki last week http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/hell-of-a-paradise-2018-video/ Apart from watching some great skating I got to see the...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Whale Bay for a few hours in the middle of the day. Rode my 5-11 quartet home made - was hard to get my back foot on the board after riding an 8-1 the last 3 weeks. However despite my kooky footing I managed a few critical drops on the surge The inside section from the surge rock was pretty darn fu...

I have another one to test, the one I tho...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Trying to avoid the wind so popped into mid Manly and to my surprise scored this lined up shoulder high left hander that gave for about an hour. Was riding this 7ft narrow 2+1 thing and it loved the speedy bank. Great fun. Bought a new long arm short leg wettie as well. Rip Curl Aggro. Pretty comfo...

Was in the surf at Longy this morning when the siren sounded and they closed the beach due to a shark.

They called it "aggressive".

I was hoping it would be friendly or approachable.
The term ‘surf’ used loosely I assume?

Re: Margaret River Pro 2018

I wonder how many kms away would have made a differe. 50kms? 100?

Clearly no-one thinks The Shark shields make a difference.

Re: Margaret River Pro 2018

Those offshore reefs, a few go alright although a shark shield might offer a bit more piece of mind these days.

Nick - given the level of performance in round 1 and 2, reckon you could finish in at least the quarters? Or is Margs just so different from what the pro's would normally surf.

Either the forecast is crap or they are desperate to hold it at North Point. Should be on hold.
