WHAT'S THE WORST NOISE IN THE SURF
OK. OK. I stole this idea from the "best noise in the surf" thread but it might be interesting.
Some of the worst noises might also be in the Best thread (depends who's hearing it - board breaking, for instance).
I have three.
1/ Sound of the clubbies, calling you off the wave you've been surfing since daybreak and they've just decided to put the flags up right where you are.
2/ (sounding old here, I know). Can't stand it when a bunch of 10 y/o boys turn up and paddle around the line up shouting to one another with a whole heap of shit, raving about every wave and bragging about how good they are. Share the stoke quietly, guys.
2/ (might as well go the whole hog here and come across as sexist as well) A couple of times a nice peaceful surf has been ruined by the arrival of 4 or 5 females who can't surf but have managed to get out the back on their mini mals and sit around in the drop zone or on the shoulder, gossiping - coffee shop for that girls.

Whaddya mean fuckwits??Coops@DY wrote:hows those fcukwits who whistle out to their mates that a set is coming?
Good mate of mine (and my main surfing partner) has whistled me into more sets than I could ever pay back. It's not even a whistle that he does, sorta sounds like a seagull or something, and no-one else reacts to it.
If I hear that noise up the street I know he's around and stop and say g'day. If I hear it out in the surf I know to paddle....real quick.
He's got me well trained.

even worse is whistling or calling out there and then nothing comes.
then you act like you meant that set thats behind way out there that arives a few min later.

Cant speak on any authority about this one though im sure if longbum ever comes back he will weigh in. But how about a head cracking through the stringer of your board from 10 feet....pretty much the worst story ive heard.
But other than they I would have to say its the flapping of flippers approaching the lip about 5 metres ahead of you.

I used to be able to roll my own cigarettes in the old Datsun 1600, while still being able to change gears and steer with my kneesiggy wrote:one of them pipes up and turns to his mate saying "nah... i don't reckon i'll get my manual licence... just drive an auto... that way i can eat mcdonalds 'n' stuff with me spare hand"
(no exaggeration, and exactly word for word quoted)
sat there in stiches and had tears streaming from my eyes...
missed the next set because of it
