Unless you don't have a college degree, then you're fcuked.
Since I've been a kid its pretty well always been get a degree, or a trade, or you're fcuked.
But the perception now is you're fcuked anyway, but those results show that is not correct (for a degree anyway).

Fcuk! I went down to Sunset after the contest finished, the swell jumped 4' in half an hour and it was going mental, closing out the channel, bombing third reef. I paddled out on an 8'0" AB and stalked the second reef from the side, totally undergunned, really you needed a 10'0". It was a solid 12-15' plus, v clean but you had to be soooo careful not to get caught. I got a pretty solid one and rode down it, the 8'0" fully engaging the channels, looked for markers to see where I was in relation to the inside and realised it was one of the ones that were closing out the whole channel to Kammieland. So epic! I faded off the back, went back out, stalked it again and got a nice 12'+ west peak roll-in. This one came back in on the reef and I thought, yeah, she's gonna stand up through that epic gulping inside barrel section, but instead it just went Fcuk You and lurched sideways and shut down. I had to straighten out and got a fantastic flogging, came up and I was in the washing machine inside that piece of reef and outside Val's Reef. So I thought, OK I'll go in now.
Basically Sunset kicked me out!
Perfect conditions but. Baby's bottom surface outside.

Well this is why I surf, because sometimes it's fcuking intense.

Why the focus on sunset NC? What about Rocky Point and Haleiwa and other spots? What is it about Sunset? It looks like a tricky somewhat unpredictable cnut of a wave.

It's the best wave aside from Pipe, Pipe is occupied. I'll go surf Rockies when it's small enough.

Lol not quite, but as close as I’ve ever been. A Chilli Rarest Bird in twin tech epoxy.
It’s bloody light. Be very interesting to see how it goes.

According to Dorsal a bull shark took a fish off a spear fisher at South Bondi this morning. Didn't know you were allowed to spear fish there...but anyway...I must have been out in the surf at the time.
Also one down at The Farm. Waiting for AJ apparently.
