many.

the very first fish I caught on a lure in north QLD was a barracuda.

Ergo fishing is easy

Even my wife can catch a big 'cuda

Anybody with a shiny lure can catch a barracuda. Caught heaps in the Bahamas.
Delicious flakey white flesh, but slimy musky skin, also around here they can cause ciguatera poisoning.

3-2... should be fine up there this weekend. It's more than enough down here.
OBX is a decent getaway. Try to get all the way down to Hatteras, there's a good campground there, Frisco Woods.
Bring mozzie repellent.

Camping, lol.

It's fcuking cold, dude. If you think I can get the wymmins to camp you're crazy.

My steamer got lost in the move, I need to get a new one.

On the island where my grandma grew up in Fiji the locals wear socks when swimming because the contrast between their soles and their darker feet causes barracuda to attack.

60km. Bollocks.

Who was out there? Tony Greig with his speed gun?

lol Thud knows ALL ABOUT Sunset Beach!!

The speed Nick, the speed.

60km no way.

Speed is distance over time.

Do you mean 60km/hr ?

I'm trying to perfect the being-pushed-up-by-the-lip method, seen here at Sunset (first wave of the set)

and also Rockies

The idea is if you let the wave break on top of you, it disguises the stumble-up

First wave you did great, I will give you credit there. Second wave you could have easily got another 2 seconds cover up in that barrell, don't just race for the end section - good barrell riding is all about speed management.

you should sell your services to Carroll as a personal coach Loof.

he's got the disposable.

Makes a lot of sense, you can share wine brokers.

Chest high, consistent and waters warm. Whole stretch of beach with several choices of peaks all to myself this arvo.

Why am I moving to the country again?

So you can ride bikes? That great equivalent to surfing.

Don’t mention the “b” word.

when do you head west BA?

First week in February.

I’d like to make an announcement. This Summer, I’ll be going on any wave I want on the Northern Beaches. So yeah. No hard feelings. I’m not trying to be a dick. But that is what is going to be happening. So have a great day and watch out.

Mate, get yourself a catamaran. 16 or 18 footer. Would go great on the dam.

How about kite boarding BA?

2 boards, 2 sails and you're good for 10-35 knots.
