Where did you surf today ?

[Cranked]

Fuck its new year again... they're just flashing by now

My mate got attacked by a shark today.

well, not quite attacked.

He got chased and harassed by a wobbegong while we were snorkelling.

It was very funny.

Just read your Swellnet piece Steve, excellent idea well done. Your grapple with your elbow reminded me of The Old Man and the Sea: 'I may not be as strong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.'

Thanks Al.

It was kind of nice to have this problem to solve and be able to crowd source some expertise from the higher ups in here like Buddy and Leej.

It put me on the mean streets of Coolangatta where I snapped off some architecture shots.

I was shocked at the number of massage parlours on the main street.

No way I would have been able to fulfil the mission if I had a rub and tug.

There’s even more of them once you cross the border to wharf st and Bay st tweed.

Apparently back in the day that was where everyone would go for the pros cos the Queensland laws and coppers were more strict.

Nice shots Steve! Always good to see a secondhand bookshop anywhere. Did you pop in for a look?

[steve shearer]

Yeah, I did.

Couple of times.

Second time to ask if anyone knew how to tape up an elbow.

Had a quick bash on the foamy this morning. A bit more swell. Snared four off a wide section of the bank I’ve been sitting on lately. Initially only one other guy onto it. Fun take off with a drive down the line through to the beach.

I'd like to see Steve spend a whole day surfing at Bondi and write about it.

[steve shearer]

Could I take a lunch break go to the Chauvel to watch a movie?

[Lucky Al]

You could probably do whatever you wanted and no one would mind just as long as you took notes.

Preferrably a glossy full colour photoessay with august local surf guide Beanpole MacBeanface.
Surefire Pulitzer material.

Bondi doesn’t extend to Newtown unfortunately.
Plenty to photograph though.
Steve could go to Gertrude and Alice Bookstore for a turmeric chai latte and a read.

No I would much prefer our investigative journalist to do a cold take without tips.
Speaking of which haven’t heard anything from Skip for a while.
