Re: Swellnet

[quote="thermalben" FishStick, I do the daily Curly report, and have done so for the last couple of years. And, you're spot on - sometimes the pic is of Narrabeen - I moved north a couple of months ago. However, you'll note the text never refers to Curl - and for that matter, the Narrabeen report im...

Re: Swellnet

What shits me is that the Curl Curl report on Swellnet is of Narrabeen. It used to be of Curl Curl but the reporter must have moved house. The shots are taken so that it looks a bit like Curly, but it isn't. There already is a Narrabeen report on Swellnet, so why have two? Yeah I'm only 5 mins from ...

Re: where am i on aussie coast ?

Looks like the same view you get when standing to the right of the old wall up at North Head. I don't know what the wall is called but anyone who has walked around up there knows what I mean. It's a bit further south than Deadmans

Curren, Parko, Bruce, Rasta But I've never really watched a pro and said "that's ugly". That would be farkin hypocritical from a kook like me. Shit, they all shred and I'd be happy to surf like any of them. Only thing that I hate is watching all the airs. Like that 'Fair Bits' film where Taj is doin...

My latest small day board is 1" shorter, 2/16" thicker and 1/4" wider, a lighter glass job and also has a tiny bit more width in the tail and nose. The reason for this is that my current shorty seemed good enough for small waves but that I just needed a bit more volume. So far it's going well. I'm a...

[ The title says "Put your hand up if you hate simons boards as much as i do " i dont see the blanket statement anywhere.... So if your mate didn't like his last two girlfriends because they told him he had a small dick; I guess he would put up a post saying "Hands up if you hate girls"? But really...

I'm not Simon Anderson either, and Im not going to whine about his boards despite the fact that I can barely ride the one I own due to it clearly being a high performance quad and me being a low performance surfer. oh i must be a low performance surfer for not liking one of simons boards. So must e...

I've got three 1) Guys who make a noise just before you take the drop. Sounds like someone on the inside is calling you off so you pull back and it's just the same farkin idiot making weird noises because the wave looks so nice or he's swearing cause he couldn't get on it. 2) All you hear being spok...

I went for a walk with my girl at Longy and when we got to the surf I said "no tow ins today" as a joke because it was so small. Then I look to the right and there's this guy getting towed. :lol:

I rarely have a great session before work. Only when I go camping do I find it really pays off. Here in Sydney I find I'm in a hurry, clock watching trying to get waves before going to the office and the crowds are actually quite bad. It's a myth that crowds are thin at dawn, they actually thin out ...

In the water by 6:15 is the best I can do. And I don't do it as much as I want to as the neighbours don't make it easy to get to bed early. But saying that I love Daylight Savings nothing quite like washing the office out of you in the surf after hours. Makes it feel like you were never there. Endin...
