down the coast, not firing but early sea mist and a little remnant swell

If i was ever going to ride a mid length Pinny, that would be it. Looks good, what do you do from here?

winki on tuesday about 9.40am. Had a few minutes before a site meeting to take a look.

I have a bad feeling what feels like a big, drawn out backhand turn looks more like an old man reaching for the biscuit tin, but I had a ball trying.

Think i reached for the biscuit tin a few times today as well.

I like it, the tension is palpable, looking forward to the next installment.

this could go in any direction. something suss about that empty pie container touching the rail, could be a murder mystery.

Also, 2nd today in the over 65s at the Alex Winter Classic.
Surf was the best it was all weekend. Friday was abysmal.
Today I got two good clean waves.

TardG nailing it!

Thank you, Nick. And now, back to the studio...

post up a report after your first surf aj, go hard on the detail.

Out the front. Kind of weak 3ft, clean but slow with a lot of wonk and a half baked bank, plenty of closeouts. Water is still good temp, feels about 20 deg

Carbon neutral isn't even carbon neutral.

does it actually matter, given we're fcuked anyway. i want everything to change.

Not only do they not use loose leaf tea, the youth of today don’t even drink tea!

Is drinking tea carbon neutral ?

Well, forget the writing, the political insights and the keen observations of surfing and its industry, the most impressive thing about Nick Carroll is that he makes a proper pot of loose leaf tea.

well, that's fcuking something.

what I mean by that is in my lifetime, less than a hundred Kays away there has been a huge coastal engineering project which involved four government bodies (NSW state govt, QLD state govt, Gold Coast City Council, Tweed shire council) and a private operator. Rule of law?.....that was a legislative...

Yep, felt pretty fcuking raw over there Legion. I take my hat off to the locals. The commitment is phenomenal given the perceived and recorded risks. Sitting out there in big water with solid swell over dark reef with those risks does get the pulse racing pretty hard.

Most importantly, hopefully Mrs Duck had a good trip.

The most important thing in the universe and thanks for being so cogent to that point. She had an epic time, notwithstanding her idiot partner.

Next trip head to the desert. You'll see guys getting waves. You've gotta remember, it's kinda isolated over here so whatever the rest of the world is doing can take a while to percolate over. Sometimes you'll stumble across jaw-dropping sessions though. I’m not saying it doesn’t get good Legion, I...

Noticed most west aus guys that I’ve seen in the last few days have been surfing thinned out rhino chasers when the surf gets solid. Like 6’10” or bigger rounded pin tails, foiled out. Pretty thin Doesn’t seem to help them enough when it’s 20 knots offshore and 8ft ground swell. Watched a couple of ...

So glad you’re here toots. Was onshore this morning in s/w WA so I didn’t bother surfing but the wind started dropping by mid morning so decided to go down to the comp and have a look . What a well oiled machine that thing is. It’s like auto pilot for most of the crew. The camera men looked bored as...

A middle aged man turning in small waves is rarely elegant but nevertheless speaks of something vital, of a refusal to surrender to the gathering gloom

fcuk the gathering gloom. that shit is like dark matter, it pervades the universe and controls everything.
