Otway is back , living in Austria, and hunting River waves and planning an Atlantic campaign.
Believe it or or not the rippleys size depends on rain further up,the alps, currently flat spell, pictures will ensue
Over prostate cancer surgery and radiotherapy and an atrial fibrillation event , doing gym to hit the Atlantic campaign with some dignity.
All,is well,in Otways world

Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

Good to hear Otts. I still get a chuckle thinking about you leading the Realsurf foray down to the Enzed surf forum.

Loved doing that, talk about hook line and sinker!

On ya Otts! You need a new avatar - I'm sure Crabmeat Thompson will be able to find you something suitable.

Hitting the Atlantic, pulled my body into some resemblance of surf fitness and been surfing Lagido in Baleal near Peniche.
The WSL leg here has generated a mass of surf schools and the general population of graduated students have en Masse the exaggerated Poo stance with starfish arms into usage.
Style as we know it is nada, the entire EU I vant the surf experience for 10 day’s every year claim wave rights with no awareness but it is such a full,expression o the whole shebang poostancing into every conceivable wipe style.
There is some evolution , there are some who adopt the visual poetry of a ballerina at the bar, same result just more artistic.
Midway between the two you have fusion of styles with the ballerina poo.
Otway got his share of the bigger ones and as they gaped at a near 70 year old unleashing pension power surfing!

And Grooter is back and doesn't even get his own thread.
RS needs to recognise one of the Triple J (circa 1995) music aficionados of our time.

Man I love the mini crusty pastry baked custard tarts, about size of a fifty cent piece but oh so wow!
Good thing they’re so small a man could a nasty plimsol line if they were bigger.
Surfing sort of well but finding out what parts of my abdomen are not stitched together in anatomical sequences.
Sometimes I can almost see a logic in the poo stance as the initial sequence.
