Re: post your modern day sickness

Yeah how come? Didn't you surf in Sth.Oz when you were there?
I like that yellowy coloured board, except for the yellowy colour.

Re: Miller SUB X 6'2 x 21 3/4 x 2 5/8

They're an interesting board, ugly as hell but gaining quite a following. I noticed a guy called Mark Ogram in WA makes a range of boards very similar to Grant's range. There is an uncanny resemblance between Grant's SUB-X and Mark's "Kelvinator" Two guys of similar age on opposite sides of the coun...

Yes of course that's what I meant, I'm sure that Carrolls are nice, but no one family is entitled to that much fun, spread yourself around Braithy.

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

All a shark knows is, if it's moving, it's alive and therefore probably a meal. I doubt if the size or shape matters much. They'll eat anything from a dead (gulp) Mullet to a Whale.

Re: Camper Trailers

That'll be handy Crustt, good to see you replaced that hitch with something better. I bought a brand new 7 x 5 box trailer when I left and made the mistake of sitting on 90kms/hr on a gravel road for 2 hours. Took all the paint off the front, the draw bar, the mudguards and underneath. Put a stone g...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Was out on a lonesome bank locally when I spotted a blowhole pretty close in and saw a hump break the surface. I jumped off my board and swam underwater about ten times listening to it singing. What a blessing. And a privilege. A blessing and a privilege. Whale #1 to rest of pod "Attention pod, we ...

That ballina 7 whale just looks like he's feeling a little bit flat, push him back out.

Re: Ask Carroll

And they are also fcuking impractical things to move around on land. That's a point worth considering. Nick probably has the luxury of leaving his craft in the clubhouse. The novelty of loading a ski onto the roof, especially if it's a tall vehicle like 4B, then unloading it and carrying it down to...

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

Is there any evidence culling Sharks works?. And how do we identify which sharks to kill?, just the closest to the boat? The W.A. cull was a disaster, financially, in a public relations sense, and in practical results. Not one single Pointer caught. 172 sharks caught, 68 "shot" Nobody feels any saf...

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

Here's my take on it Woolly. I can't see how a cull would make any difference. There's always sharks around, always will be.
To me there's no point even considering it.
