Where did you surf today ?

[alakaboo]

Not an issue. The bear(s) would be shot,with very little debate.

Well yeah, that was my point.
I'm fairly Green at heart, trained as a marine ecologist, work in coastal policy advocacy, think Sharks are the very pinnacle of physiological excellence, but I'm also same enough to see the illogical and hypocritical nature of some of the protests against nets and drum lines.

Imagine a group of lifelong skiers at the bottom of Whistler trying to decide whether to ride the lift up because there was a group of grizzly bears that had just started eating people on the slopes.

Crazy times.

I have a photo taken from the lift at Whistler of a black bear rooting through the snow, between ski tracks.

Grizzly bears are protected. You can only shoot a grizzly if it is in the process of attacking you. Otherwise, the dangerous bears would be reported and they would be relocated.

There's a legal hunt of brown(grizzly) bears in Alaska.

Anyone surf with a knife?

[steve shearer]

there are quite a few crew here surfing with a knife.

Braithy, didn't surf the channel bottom. It's a small wave sled.

[Davros]

There's a story right there.

[Skipper]

Is it accepted protocol under the Roy Slaven model to drink a beer?

I was wondering about that. but pretty much every attack is from beneath and behind. pretty sure if you didn't
get a chunk taken out last thing you be doing is trying to pull some pissy little knife out as a big set of jaws are
bearing down on you....
and the ones that bump usually just piss off anyway.
geez south wall will be uncrowded this summer. either that or the ferry takings will increase 1000% on ne days...

be careful mate, head knocks shouldn't be taken lightly and you prob should go to the docs.
at the very least make sure your missus or someone that can drive is with you tonight cause
thing could go pear shaped. mates daughter got semi knocked out at school 3 months ago. cant
do any sport till after xmas, and only 2 weeks ago had to go for mri as her eyesight started playing up.
remember alcohol can increase swelling to fresh injuries. id lay off the piss mate

[steve shearer]

thanks Brendo.

surfed S. wall a bit last summer and I was either the only one there sitting in the carpark waiting for someone to show up or there were 2 or 3 blokes out.

just say you copped a fluke jab from some churlish young turk in the carpark while standing up for yer old mates.

And i'd feel inclined to go with brendo's advice.

[steve shearer]

yeah will do.

thanks Shaun.

Bit late, but what Brendo said Steve. Be overly cautious. It's not worth messing with head injuries. Something that appears minor can turn serious a few hours later.
