Re: Just general surfing stuff
Good longboarding in good waves is more aesthetic than some Pro flogging themselves to push their board into the most extreme position possible on a wave. Style is more important in longboarding comps. I think it was aerials that killed my interest in pro surfing... it made it look like an athletic...

What? No road access to Garie?
The Cronulla and Garie beaches were my goto surf spots!

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
@cranked whale carcass just near your preferred spot. I missed your post until now. Yeah, I was going to get ready and go out when a mate arrived and pointed out the whale carcase to me. There's been some deserted afternoon surfs on offer a bit lately so I'd been surfing with no-one or just a coupl...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Good forecast for surf today so I rocked up and it was looking good with the swell OK rising, the wind offshore and dropping, and no one out. Thats happened a few times in the last week so the lack of other surfers was not on my mind... until a mate arrived and pointed out the whale carcass about 50...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, with more than 50,000 miles of coastline. So why don’t its citizens know how to swim? Because its primary ethnic group never took to the seas. Though there are thousands of distinct cultural groups in Indonesia, the dominant one—both political...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Yeah, unfortunately most Indonesians, including those on boats, can't swim.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I was trying all sorts of fin setups on my pin tailed/wide nose 7', 7'6 and 8'6 Aloha fun boards (lol) , I was not satisfied with any of them (thruster, single, 2+1). As a last resort I tried a pair of keels... they did just exactly what I wanted then to do, that is go fast, pump and turn.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Bronze whalers have a large first dorsal fin that originates above the inner margin of the pectoral fin, no interdorsal ridge, a precaudal pit. The species also has large pectoral fins, and a large upper caudal-fin lobe. I was surfing yesterday with the two guys who spotted it the day before and I k...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I agree. I wasn't implying that the line-up was empty because of the sighting, I just thought it was not wise to surf by myself where it was sighted. Someone arrived soon after my post and we went out unperturbed.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Perfect conditions ATM but no takers. I'd usually just go out but a few mates spotted a bronze whaler a few days ago, they got a good look as it went underneath them.
