Re: Just general surfing stuff

Real Estate is very lightly regulated compared other asset classes, so any spiv can get into it.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Remember Tracks had proper surfboard design articles. Col Smith on channels, Mitchell Rae on flex and concaves, Fitz on all sorts, McCoy on the zap and dome vee etc etc.

And SW, even the ads were good. Remember the Hot Buttered ads? Epic.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Governments have been trying de-centralisation for decades. Unsuccessfully. The cunning plan now post-Covid appears to be make Sydney/Melbourne so shitt that people want to GTFO. With many companies wanting people back in the office the job situation is going to be interesting. You’re OK if you’re a...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Just caught up with this nauseating episode. TC appearing in ads for cash is one thing - he always has, as have many. The insta post/video is rank, as are 95% of the comments blowing smoke up his arse. And don’t get me started on Hamptons style homes. (See what they have done to Catho) NC writing pu...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

I’m not going to get too involved but Jeezuz fcuk it shits me when idiots say hundreds of thousands of sharks are killed every year. The Asian predilection for shark fin soup has nowt to do with GWS multiplying at a great rate along the NSW east coast. And what happens when the hundreds (more than a...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

There’s a few really good female log riders around here. Probably weigh 50-60 kilos wringing wet.
They can throw a log around no dramas.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

We do now know the broad pattern is following the whale migration, fairly close to the coast, as the tag program and receivers has shown. That's partly a function of where the receivers are. And maybe they only put satellite tags on the homebody sharks. Well yes the young ones at least have a few c...
