Re: The Duke dethroned as our surfing history is rewritten

Just can't see why you want to hijack it with side issues.

Re: The Duke dethroned as our surfing history is rewritten

Re surfresearch post and quoting loosely. Local surf activities: FFS sake, the tide came in between BCE 14K and 6.5K in a series of up and downs. Thus the relevance of local activities are only documented if culturally relevant to major social observances. Petroglyphs record culturally significant ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Yep. I had nice clean if a bit full waves. Got a decent barrell despite it being full.
