It’s small and junky on the Surf Coast. And the waters cold. Not fun.
Those pods are pretty fun to break things up a bit.Hatchnam wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 2:57 pmNorth Woonona. 2-3 foot wind affected right and left peaks breaking into and off the reef bed. Fairly short waves but still enough of a run to put in a couple of turns.
Then took the pod handplane out a bit further south between the flags with waves pitching top to bottom over a waist high sandbank.
Was fun getting catapulted out of the lip and into the flats, dodging all manner of plump holiday bogans.
Does it stress you to watch clueless people wander into serious situations?
Bought it about 20 plus years ago for $60. They’re still the same price! That super deep concave provides a tonne of lift and drive when you press down on it. With bodysurfing it feels like you need a square dredging wave to get the best out of it.channels wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 5:51 pmThose pods are pretty fun to break things up a bit.Hatchnam wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 2:57 pmNorth Woonona. 2-3 foot wind affected right and left peaks breaking into and off the reef bed.

Nah it doesn’t, because of what you just described, most apparently clueless people get booted out by the surf pretty easilychannels wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 5:56 pmDoes it stress you to watch clueless people wander into serious situations?
Was watching a kid on Xmas day at Boomerang on a bodyboard with no flippers go out in a rip, beach was pretty empty and his parents were too busy talking to friends and having beers to watch him closely. Not even sure they even thought he might get into trouble. Was way out the back when a closeout set flogged him and he landed back on the sandbar and washed in after a few more. I was thinking I might have to go out and get him, just couldn’t get over the lack of attention his parents were showing.

What would stress me is what those lifeguards at Coffs went through a couple of days ago, going out looking for people and finding one dead.

Maybe he was poisoned by the putrid water in the lake, Duck?black duck wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 9:04 pmYesterday. Korean guy drowned near the closed over lake entrance at Green island, snorkelling apparantely.
Damn BD. Aj and myself are coming with fam to invade end of Jan... we need that lake flowing nicely, thanks!black duck wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 6:50 amWell putrid is a little strong Jimmy but I don’t swim in it unless it’s flowing well on the incoming tide, near the entrance. Not sure if the guy was in the lake or ocean. They opened the lake last week but it’s not working. Didn’t dig enough sand out. Its already stopped flowing and is closing up. Need a fcuk off big rain storm to clear out the artery.
