Watching coldwater journal.
If surfer magazine funded that no wonder they went broke.
Worth a watch though.

Tolhurst has got a mini Moe and Mid 6 out. Some great footage of Harley ripping on the Mini Moe.

:D Wow, just read this article on Swellnet by this guy called Steve Shearer. It’s all about civility in the surf to deal with crowds.Obviously not the guy on here who rants about how clueless tourists are.
I guess this must be professional Steve rather than Realsurf Steve.

Owen’s last couple of posts paint a different picture to Tyler’s description of their father.

I think he fell off tour in 22 then Rip Curl gave him the wild card to Bells for a retirement farewell event in 2023.

Take all that with a grain of salt.

Nowhere is the gap between social media presentation and reality more stark than in the Wright family.

Owen is doing a great job there though, for his sponsor.

He's also been caring for his father who has dementia ... so where Tyler has made it a crusade to blame her father publicly, it would appear that Owen doesn't hold a similar resentment.

What a bummer AJ, things aren't going to well.

We had a caravan at the Bendalong caravan park in the 70s for a few years. Great memories, it would be sad to see Don Hearn's Cabins go.

I stayed there once with friends when the kids were little. Shortly before friends bought a house down there.

We used to visit fairly regularly. Even minded their dog down there when they went OS. Haven’t been down that way in ages.
Never stayed in the cabins again though.
