Where did you surf today ?

[Drailed]

Wasn't talking about the jet ski stuff or anyone in particular, just general comment on blokes who don't keep themselves fit and complain when they don't get waves

I hear ya.

[Davros]

And yes fuck the pros don't they get enough fucking waves.

[channels]

Hey has anybody here felt harassed in any way by jetski drop-offs during swells on the Goldie?

Even though your fishing for an article for that other mob. haha

my answer is Fuck yes.

Watching entitled, privileged pros being taxied up the point near me, while we're all in the rip doing it tough ... then they're straight back up the point for the next set. the sweep running so hard, you couldn't stay on the point in between sets, meant they got every wave they wanted, and we were back down the point hoping a pro surfer would fall off a perfect, flawless wave (hint: it never happens) so we'd get one.

Not to mention what they are doing is illegal. they come roaring through the lineup at speed and at times are within metres of paddling surfers.

there's a few out there that are way worse than the rest. There were a couple of photographers out there, who are shooting and staying clear of every one, then there's a whole plethora of fuck knuckles doing outrageously selfish things.

it'll come to blows soon. a few paddling crew are already talking about fucking up a certain crew of pros next time they're seen in the carpark.

I second that
Wtf its sponsored high profile sportspersons flagrantly breaking the law On Camera

Reading the spiel before the Tyler Wright video, I was expecting more... "Best barrel I've ever had at Snapper... wasn't going to go, but my brother and a bunch of others called me in..."
Cut to vid... bog standard step off, in a 6 foot hollow pipe behind the rock. Not really impressive, surprised that even gets promoted.

[Davros]

DY, ok

[alakaboo]

jeez, the swell died today. it's sudden departure was just as surprising as Princess Di's was.

Should've pointed that big wagon south.

I've now had the same number of surfs this year that I had last year.

[steve shearer]

And that's just it.
Not because of the cameras.
You don't leave home when it's pumping, and the goldy has been.

Strongly disagree.

where the cameras and the hype goes, so too the crowds follow like moths to a flame. It's basic human psychology.
Out of sight is out of mind.

especially our South American friends.

i nearly did. I had 3 boards in it, my single pintail, modern twin and my semi pro... but when it was knee high up here, i didn't think it'd be worth the effort.

turns out it was three foot to the south. garghhh

[Beanpole]

Finally got wet today after not surfing for two weeks. Fcuking crowded as. Got one left that got the quad going through a few turns. That felt good. Boardriders comp didn't help much. The full range of flotsam and Jetsam.

[steve shearer]

it was still easy 3-5ft here this morning Brian, but that big morning tide swallowed it all up.

[Yuke Hunt]

The full range of flotsam and Jetsam.

So which one are you ?

Jet-Sam would be my preference.

Unless you were into floaters, then Flot-Sam would suffice.

[RickyG]

I promised, honestly, that I wouldn't go to Collaroy. But with the bommie not working and LR crowded as I ended up there again. Must try harder

[Beanpole]

Well definitely jetsam since I bailed asap. A few hard core hasslers as well....plus there were a few reunions going on out there....As well as ample ignorance....banks aren't bad though after the last swell. Tama looked good but too crowded.

I have to say I rate Collaroy as way worse to surf than Bondi.

Commiserations RG. That's like me and my relationship with Curly.

There is some incredible sand between you and the pig.

[Hatchnam]

3 foot washy right hand peaks out at the dunny bowl with a few lefts breaking a bit wider. Water temp is warm as toast.

[steve shearer]

The Pig?

[BA]

Wubic.

[crabmeat thompson]

The Pig?

merkin.
