Mick Fanning’s mother was the guest on Conversations (ABC radio) today.
Was a really good interview, left me bawling like a baby.

Next. Wild when it breaks over that pump house. A bit closey outie looking but clean. Should have had a look.

Bronte is a solid wave on its day. Plenty of grunt.

I've been wondering why the Shelly beach ballina cam on surfline always looks like the conditions are clean even when I know they're not for the last week at least.
Seems that they're using an old pre-recorded loop over and over again instead of just saying the cam is down.
Fuck that company sucks.
Been doing the same at Dicky Beach up here.
Dicky and shelly cams now say they are down and aware of the problem.
Maybe this is the best forum to give them feedback :lol:

It’s like there is a snitch in these forums giving commercial information to Surfline.

Same happened with Crabmeats weekend surf report talking to a strong nor east wind forecast right as the southerly was marching up the coast.

TBH, I'm happy for them to stay down.
They upgraded the Dicky Beach one a while back and it gives pretty clear, long range views of my local.

Surf historian, Matt Warshaw, put out his list a couple a years ago of his top 10 most advanced surfers of all time. That is, the world’s most advanced wave-riders, relative to their era.

1. George Greenough
2. Mike Stewart
3. Merv Larson
4. Wayne Lynch
5. Shaun Tomson
6. Kelly Slater
7. Laird Hamilton
8. Larry Bertlemann
9. Phil Edwards
10. Dane Reynolds

I hadn’t heard of number 3, Merv Larson.
Wow! I don’t think anybody else was pulling these moves in the late 1960s.

Oh, yeah. I think I’ve still got an old Surfer Mag that had an article about him in it.

Yep, watching old footage of Wayne Lynch he was at another level to everyone else.
Basically the only person who’s idea of riding waves was what everyone tries to do now.
