RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I was happy to get the f uck out of there in my early 20’s The general mindset of the inhabitants? Yep. All whitebread bogans except for a few. I keep in contact with the good blokes I grew up with. Terapai Richmond who’s a seriously good drummer and Greg Mckinley (the ox). They both only surf the ...

Well I ended up at the Roy. Was a lot different to what I was expecting. Got a few sliders so can't complain. Tarnished a bit by a dad with his son. He was calling him on to waves with no thought to what's happening on the inside. Dropped in on me twice and forced me into the reef. I really wanted t...

I'm considering joining the throng at powerpuff point tomorrow. Someone talk me out of it please!

Grabbed a few tiny ones in a protected southern corner. Very lazy but after flu and no surfing for ages it felt right.

By the way, since when have the flags been up in July?

Not quite mate

Shit. I thought this thread was the last place on here where people still talked about surfing

^^ Just realised she sold me my board last year at Basement. My son's skating journey has take n off in the last few months. A new skate park opened near us at Meadowbank and he's down there every chance he gets. I haven't seen him skate for a while but apparently he's way better than the last time...

You have a 4ft ramp in your garden Ricky?? What Loof said. Pics? Yeah, my wife bought one off a company in Brookvale I think. I thought it was way over the top, but coming from a classical music background where parents fork out 10s of thousands for instruments it's not a big deal to her. It separa...

None of the pro street skaters seem to bother with padding. At the start of January I took my son to a Thrasher mag/independent demo at Sydenham. They were pulling off crazy shit - no pads or helmets. They do know how to fall and run out of a trick though. It's pretty impressive to watch how they do...

My wife often syringes her own ears, and quickly and painlessly get a couple of pea-sized lumps of wax out with no dramas. I've tried it a few times with little success - understandable given the ear canal's closed shut I've got a great hammer drill here. Just let me know what size hole you want an...

Since posting I went to a specialist ear wax remover in bondi junction and it was a disappointment. It seems my right ear is so bad she couldnt suction it properly .she showed me a video of my ear canal and its completely shut. The left isn't much better. Looks like I need an ent specialist in the s...

I've had this issue for years, and I think it's time I did something about it. My right ear is almost totally closed up, and my left not far behind. I've reached the point where anything that goes in (aqua ear, waxsol, etc) doesn't come out. Just got my ears syringed at the docs and they're still bl...

The sun hasn't done her any favours.

She's a walking skin cancer!

Skaters are generally a better bunch of people than surfers. A lot more relaxed and communal. Oh definitely. And Zion Wright rips. Hopefully he was nailing some long grinds. Yeah Zion was doing these huge airs over a gap in a ramp, and pushing the length of the park to get the speed up. My son was ...

My new skate journey continues. On Friday I took my son to a Real skateboard demo at Sydenham skate park (Ishod Wair, Kyle Walker and Zion Wright if that means anything to you). It was an interesting crowd: lots of beers, tatts and so much weed being smoked I nearly got passively stoned :-D-: (It oc...

Took my son to warehouse 11 in Artarmon this morning. Really impressive setup. Doesn’t appear kids skate anymore, my son was the only skater, probs 30 kids on scooters. https://youtu.be/Z8Q-kwcuoJg I wasn't aware of that. I might check it out. My son broke his wrist a couple of weeks ago on the boa...
