We were sitting looking out to sea with him on my right when we both spot this wedge. old mate starts paddling accross in front of me looking, i assumed, for the right. No worries i say and angle accross behind him and make to go left. It was starting to peak a bit fast so i paddled accross the face at a pretty acute angle to get to the clear water. I stood up and set up for a reo when i hear this "oy" from behind. It was my fault, i didn't even look, i just assumed he was going the other way. No damage done and we didn't hit, he was pretty good about it too, but it just goes to show ya.

the old snake -er-roonie!

great self-control, i must say, chillin'...
you were right to just go, fuck him, if he's not in the right spot for an approaching wave, then that doesn't mean he can paddle inside you to get it!

but if you were just sitting there like a goober.... being indecisive, not making a move - how could he know you were even contemplating going for that wave!
others would call this heckling & applaud "old mate's" pro-active attitude for seeking and getting waves.

just depends on how you look at it - and whether you're a cnut.

i would've done the same and maybe thrown in a "i'm going left, mate" as he paddled past, just letting him know what a cnut he is for snaking! oh the arrogance of the old man!! ha ha ha ha....

manly surfers action group ... pffft ... consists mainly of a bunch of muppets who spend more time sitting on the bench than in the water, but only if it's under 3 foot ...

as soon as it's over 3 foot, they disappear ...

these signs will last about 3 months before they are destoyed &/or defaced

The Courier Mail wrote:The beach features signs warning people not to disturb the pied oystercatcher seabird, but has nothing to warn visitors about potentially dangerous surf conditions

Unbelievable.

What's next?

I feel sorry for what my kids will have to deal with in the coming years.
