Byron Bay - The Pass - The Video

Then this black guy...not aboriginal, didn't really look Polynesian either started making a point of dropping in and/ or snaking every wave I went for. It was weird and he would smile when he did it. Pulled one move where he took off inside me and then banked right under my board. Much more extreme than a regular fade. Really weird and I got out pissed off.

Piss weak Trev would have slingshotted his board directly into the fcukers face with the intent on taking out an eye.

Yes. I actually wondered where it would go if I did press on. Didn't seem worth it with the family around on our way up to Coolangatta. He looked kind of like he could have been a chef or something. Kind of West Indian looking. He was smiling and laughing all the time. I was like "glad your happy fcukwit."

Yeah, I reckon Trev would have called him in to the beach and given him a backhander.
Trev would go.

He might have been flirting with you.

Really odd. Like the surf was hardly breaking through on half of them. So he would crouch down and make paddling motions with his hand. Turn around and look at me and do it again. With a big grin on his face. Then if it took off again he would try and fade me.i mean he could surf okay but I could trim better than he could so I was hardly going to hop off every time he dropped in.

Derek likes frightening the others in the water doesn't he - most people out there would probably initially think when they see him sitting that he's just a kook on an unguided missile.

Cooper's hairstyle is trendy again today, 50 years later.

Great video too.
