Lack of crowds when I’ve managed to get surfs in has been astonishing this summer.

People going overseas for holidays again?

Clubbies don’t get paid

Pics not great on my phone. Is that a pic of the board before it was glassed?

Never mind, can see no fin plugs

Jesus fuck bro, both my kids have done it, my son is way more ocean experienced for his age then the nippers and my daughter hated it.

Calm the fuck down dad

All good buddy, even Nick agreed with most of that on here once, when it came up, but there’s aspects of it that keep him involved.
Wouldn’t do Loofy any harm getting involved, he might learn to swim by putting his face in the water and not wildly swinging it from side to side like a tard.

Your kids won't think that. They can still be “surfies” you know. They’ll just be fitter, stronger and have better water sense than all the other surfers their age. They’ll be having too much fun and making new friends to realise that they’re becoming strong swimmers, learning to be competitive, th...

Sorry Groots, all best mate

Join your kids up in the nearest SLSC Loof. If you don’t, it means you don’t love them.

People can survive drownings where they aspirate water.
Myself and and any other people involved in rescues always followed up on the outcome wherever we could, you feel very connected and want to find out. It’s a big deal.

Once the lungs fill with water, or any other fluid, bile, vomit, even fresh water, it’s going to set up aspirational pneumonia. Even if their pulse comes back, and the person is still alive in hospital, there will be a cascade of system failures resulting from the pneumonia. I was involved in a few ...

I hang out with a longboard influencer who never won a title and has a much bigger name. I'd never heard of Kelia. Apparently she has won 2 world championships but my first thought was 'wonder if she's related to the guy who broke his neck in Portugal?' So if someone who hasn't even made the top co...

I am a surfer and dont care if two corporate entities have monopolised and de monetised professional surfing. It does nothing for my pleasure in surfing.

That’s the attitude Loof, pay attention to it at cottage industry level, the rest is BS.

Thought I’d try to go for a dip about 12:30. This is an ambitious decision around here on a hot Summers Day. Decided to be even more ambitious and packed the foamy theorising that I may as well and can just go for a swim if it’s shite. Traffic banked up from Francis St to the roundabout. Thought wh...

“Theorising” great word.

For decades it seems Australian politics, especially in NSW, has been dominated by three major entities – the two major political parties and the gambling industry.

Oh yeah for sure, so good luck to the boys for milking them, it isn’t our money. That’s my take anyway, I’ll shut up now.
