This all paints a pretty bad picture for the east coast. When you add these developments together its going to be one overdeveloped mess after another. We are all responsible if we don't try to do something about it. I don't even like going up to the Tweed Coast anymore. What a scam those very old l...

Its funny about the central coast. You can overlook the most obvious spots and hunt for waves without getting much for your search. As far as "secret" rights go up there; I have found saturday morning is very crowded and grumbly. When the pub has been open a few hours it mellows out a bit :D . I may...

Buzzy, the old call that surfing ability is a sign of a misspent youth is probably put to rest. Ginge obviously comes to mind as well. I just wonder who wants to see these guys in a movie.

Good call, Buzzy. I have been waiting for a movie that shows a bunch of merchant bankers carving up some exotic location to celebrate their latest killing on the stock market .
Maybe they could go surfing at one of their tax havens.
You could probably get them to fund it as a tax right off.

Yeah, I have been wanting to see those for a while. The last newish movie I saw was Down Side Up, I think. Hot surfing but pretty repetative. The usual crew, some good Hawaiian footage. That Bonga Perkins movie was interesting too with some great footage but I find it hard to listen to testimonials ...

Hey locals :D How committed are you to your break and is it worth it? Are you committed to a break that noone else will surf? Is it because its too mean or too lame? Thats a big difference :lol: . Are you committed to a break that everyone surfs with hundreds of locals? Half of which you regard as b...

What are the dimensions Platty?
I've got an old G&S Snake Bishop squaretail channelled single fin and a Red Sun pin tail I've been meaning to fix up for a while so I'd love to see how you go with that Hot Roc board.

Good call, Wanderer. However, I really think some of those movies at $5 a pop, if your lucky, give you a real insight into the early days of surfing and also how Endless Summer became what it is. I wasn't a part of surfing or anything else much back then so its all new to me. One of the things I lik...

Has anyone else bothered to pick up some of the old bruce browne videos that pop up in discount bins around the place?
Surf Crazy, Barefoot Adventure, Surfing Hollowdays.
What do you reckon?

These contests sound like a dog fight. What happened to country hospitality Some bodyboarding mongrel interfering with whos the best showdog get the pack on to him . Same goes for bodyboarding comps.

Incontrol I hope this wasn't the contest I walked past on Sunday. If it was you should all be ashamed of yourselves grovelling in that pathetic shore break

Are locals those people who drive around in their BMW 4 wheel drives with Palm Beach -somewhere on Australias east coast bumper stickers?

Or are they just lost?

BB is right. Real Surf is real and its a site without any particular connections to the surf companies. Thats the point :D I really think the surf industry missed a few product placement opportunities with the Corby Trial though. Maybe they could run some ads featuring Schappel or baggage handlers r...

Yeah, name names. The fact that you may be talking about multi millionaires who run international companies shouldn't discourage anyone. After all they wouldn't sue you or anything would they? :shock: Maybe they'll get a contract out on you if you turn stool pigeon? :lol: Anyone got ideas for some o...

Really good stuff. When I came home last night after celebrating my brother-in-laws birthday I checked the surf forecast and thought the forums could use something a bit more topical. Funny how some people want to sanitize history. Apparently when these founding fathers weren't beavering away forgin...

All the talk about performance enhancing substances has made me think of an occasionally contemplated topic. Without being specific, how many of the movers and shakers in the surf industry do you think got their start by trying to create a cover for their ill gotten gains? Surely they couldn't have ...

"After the morals have slept they awake refreshed" Sorry to quote someone but its true. I still think a reefer would be nice on a sunny day at the beach or listening to some music....... but I occcasionally kick myself up the arse thinking of some all time sessions I f****ed up. We better have a chi...
