You get in the water almost every day eh Beanpole. I'm a bit envious. Gotta get back to a surf coast.

Yes, he sent very clear and commanding messages. He's a story teller and a poet, a dramatist and an artist, a magician and a master of his craft, and no ordinary athlete. A treasure, I tell you Beanpole!

I thought they were fun this time around. The guys seem to have been putting a bit of thought into them. A bit of claim choreography going on behind the scenes there.

Gabriel Medina, what a treasure. He's the Bruce Lee of pro surfing.

Steve's probably vegging out and basking in the family embrace after several long hard days of surf reporting for Beachgrit on the Narrabeen contest. And a marvellous job he's done too. You beauty Steve.

There sure is - not world class but can be great fun: https://www.saltwater-dreaming.com/surfing-phuket.htm

missed it completely today. might watch a few highlights with an evening beer and weep. had been planning to spend the upcoming week (second week of school break) in phuket, getting a couple of surfs in, but a covid19 outbreak and associated inter-province travel restrictions have put paid to that. ...

think you might pop up to narrabeen and watch some of the contest in the next few days beanpole?

They would just be all CRACK!!! WHAM!! SCHRALP! WHOOSH... POW-POW-POW! Wheee! Wah... Whoops! Plus it's a natural amphitheatre - would be fun to see.

I would love to see some of the top foreign guys like Gabriel, Italo and John John come down and surf Sandon on a good day!

Righto, heading up to the mid north paradise of NSW on Monday. Looks like we are gonna get an ECL and heaps of rain. Is this gonna be torrential? Maybe some decent waves by end of the week? What's the word you norf coasters?

Where you going Wyre!

Trying hard in the slop.

Nice shot, Trev. Looking sprightly, old bloke.

this swiss wavegarden video is pretty fun to watch: https://fb.watch/4t1YJ-5N66/. i find josema odriozola nice to listen to - a semi-mechanical, semi-mellifluous kind of tone.

Heya Larry! I haven't looked at the front page for years. Thanks for the reminder! How's it going, good fellow?

But do they have hexagonal shit in them?

No, but that made me remember what happened to one of my hand foiled fibreglass fins from Phil Way that I went mad looking for.

LuckyAl lost it on the rocks jumping off.

Happens to the best of us Steve!

Holy fcuk. NC's prediction was on the money down here. I was working all day at the 'Gong uni with a two hour gap around 10.30. Sped down to that place that rhymes with pretty, and my god. It was 6ft+ dredging lefts, throwing out as wide as they were high on the lower tide... Clean as you could ask...

Just realised you were talking about throwing out the little fiddly bits and not the whole kit. Will keep it in mind when working on the engine.
