Reading this makes me want to get my longboard skateboard out for a ride again. It's been ages. There's no obvious places to ride near me unfortunately

Meadowbank!

And skate with my son I won't be taking on any bowls

Tinnitus and hearing loss seem to have been linked to dementia now. That scares me somewhat It's more to do with the fact that people with hearing loss tend to hold themselves at arm's length from involvement in things which stagnates their mental capacity. Keep involved and you are no more at risk...

Nice one trev. I've got bad tinnitus too. I get my hearing checked every year (since I had my ear drilled) and I keep coming up as having good hearing. I mention the ringing and how it makes it hard to follow conversations and they just shrug their shoulders and say there's nothing that can be done....

Nasty, looks like mine when I had my right ear done nearly 2 years ago. It's healed up well but the pain was intense and recovery was slow

Well here goes...

At least I remembered to buy plenty of grapefruit juice to wash down the OxyContins 🧟‍♂️

Wasn't cletus vortex the outcome of your last recuperation and pain killers?

Can't wait to see what you've got in store this time

There's been some cute and clean uncrowded waves. Great for a longboard and uncrowded.

Today I walked down cavill Avenue with my board tucked under my arm and backpack. Probably looked like a German backpacker :lol: surfed a tiny peak at surfers paradise that did little more than confirmed my lack of practice and general fitness. Put the board on the beach and bodysurfed a few. Nice m...

BTW how’d you end up in the comp? Did you beat surfing dude Phill Jarrett? Got knocked out in the semi finali beat a couple of guys I haven't before. The over 65s, over 70s and over 75s (me next year), are probably the most hotly contested age groups. Nice work trev Saw a couple of guys wearing Ree...

Nice work trev

I had my first surf in aaaages this morning at longy. Looked pretty blown out and closing out. Maybe it was my low expectations but it was actually a lot of fun. I shouldn't leave it so long til next one

Went for a grovel at longy. Geez it was hard work. Tiny as

Onya trev. Reckon you'll still be out ther in the over 80s

Dragged myself down for a small sess at collaroy out of the wind. The reefers were having a comp so got to catch up with a few of the guys which was nice. Should rejoin and get down there for a bit of fun when I can

I tentatively ventured out for a surf today. First real exercise in 3 weeks due to covid and first surf in months for many reasons. Very low expectations re my fitness and timing, but i was pleasantly surprised. I think the yoga I'd been doing before I was sick really paid off. Will definitely keep ...

Yeah, doing laps between the heads I think. Makes me think, I pretty much grew up in the ocean and sharks weren't ever a second thought. Now? Bit different

Went down to my nemesis today, powderpuff point. Tried a different strategy and sat about halfway out and picked off plenty of wider ones.
