RealSurf Surfers' Forum

The day before yesterday, actually.

He said later in Endless Summer 11 that in reality they didn’t know Cape St Francis hardly ever broke that good and now with houses there the dunes make it worse. However J Bay was the real deal. I didn't know he made eleven endless summer movies. You really missed it. Shoulda been here yesterday.

Now that is taking the piss ... but I'm sure there's a few "cube monkeys" that'll jump at it.

It was pumping all along the coast this morning ... I had two surfs before midday.

Braithy was punctual, coherent, pleasant and handsome to boot. No landslides or tsunamis stopping us.
He had his board less than 24 hours after expressing interest.

Honest answer ... his eyes look both ways before crossing, didn't they

Matt Branson ‘came out’ 15 years after he left the pro tour.

He did, no flies on you Foamingham.

Well she is still the first openly gay competitor in the top tier of surfing. (According to that article which I’ll assume is correct).

Matt Branson says hello.

Oh dear, not this again.

Headline: Old man dislikes progression and complains about the good old days.

Good airs are incredible to watch.

some guys paddled for an hour to get out and would just reach out the back and then a bomb set would throw them back onto the beach. it was a pure lotto on who got out. It took me 45 minutes to paddle out at Casuarina a couple of years ago. Great surf once you got out the back. Same thing, you'd be...

Yep, except the coffee rock set-ups.

There used to be some nice coffee rock at North Kirra ... until they pumped all that sand around the corner.

Not to mention the reef way out off Kirra.

And yes, thats pretty much environmental vandalism, but no one seems to talk about it much.

It's still there.

Well, technically ... but they drowned it in sand and fucked up the surf.

Yep, picks up lots of swell and real quality when it's on.

Had probs the best beachie barrels of my life there.

I'm guessing its a similar setup to Casuarina ... gets epic there at times, but very open to southerlies.
