Anyone got advice on getting WSL on NBN?
We had it on Apple TV but the new clunky setup sucks generally.

Ok my ears aren't draining. I also get weird scratchy sounds with certain frequencies.

Time to put in some plugs- anyone got good recommendations for ear plugs? Blue tack is effective but I can't hear a thing. And I talk too loudly to other people- grandpa Simpson style

I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

I think it's personal preference.
I tried the surf ears 2.0 and found them really uncomfortable.
But seems some people give them good reviews.

I went back to blue tack.
I can hear in lineups where you sit next to the bloke you want to chat too.

Can't seem to hear people from the inside taking off which is a bonus.

That’s two weeks away. Might end up just being 3 to 4 foot Kirra point with Darren Handley towing his buddies in.

I use the surf ears when i remember to put them in. Still allow a little water but not completely filling up, also appears to help them drain.

Enjoying Ross Williams back in the booth at Pipe. Shane Dorian is good as well.

Ross Williams is alright until he starts saying 'that barrel was a little more arll-mondy'.

Which he does a lot.
