Surfers right to be total dickheads under threat
First fines for Jetskis at Kirra, now some lawyers want to sue longboarders who don't use legropes.

Only a matter of time. Part of the reason for the lack of aggro at Bondi is because half the learners are lawyers.

Thought it be the opposite - come near my wave and I will sue you

Every second longboarder at Noosa is sans legrope. Fcuk all of them. Mind you half of them are young women in brief bikinis. Sorry Nick.

I got hit in the head by a long boarder, broke my skull in two places and I now have a plate and 4 screws for life.
To be honest if you don't use a legrope you're a farken arse if you take a board out in decent surf.

Can't believe Grooter is upset about having a plate for life.

Just like to say Nick has more screen prescence than Simon Marne.

Re: Surfers right to be total dickheads under threat
you've been slipping a few through, largely unnoticed lately. Keep them coming, i can clap with one hand.
Re: Surfers right to be total dickheads under threat
I really hope that other hand is holding your wine glass.
Re: Surfers right to be total dickheads under threat
He did, my point was more that your ability to damage others without one goes up if you come off and said longboard comes flying through the whitewater at you.

Pay that!
What of the plate or my bruised, swollen, partially shaved head post-operation?

Re: Surfers right to be total dickheads under threat
Well, we probably agree to an extent and I do put one on if I'm not confident of holding on to it in the surf.
Actually I do wear one anytime I surf a log in crowded surf so I'm not one that people are complaining about.
However, I've never seen a stray board hit someone but attached boards I've seen it regularly.
Of course I'm sure it happens but I think it's less of an issue than retards with no fucking idea out there.
So many kooks put leggies on and bail their boards in front of you. Happens all the fucking time.
Re: Surfers right to be total dickheads under threat
I’d agree with that. Only time I’ve been hit in the head is from someone bailing their board in front of me. Had plenty of near misses as well. You don’t see too many blokes sans legrope in Sydney. Well not where I surf. Only on tiny days maybe.
