Journalist seeking Sydney surfers 5km+ from beach

Post by Journalist » Thu Aug 19, 2021 10:13 pm

Hi. My name is Mike Miller and I'm a reporter for The Washington Post in Sydney. I'm hoping to reach Sydney surfers who live more than 5 kilometers from the beach. If that's you, please PM or email me. Can be anonymous. Happy to explain my article in more detail.
Thanks.

Could you be a little more specific, and let us know which beach ... because everyone in Australia lives at least 5km from a beach.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Mike's the real thing, and I trust he understands the humour we resort to.
Anyway, everyone's anonymous here, 'cept Sniff, Beanpole and Drailed. They use their real names. And Drailed is best for comment on a Friday afternoon.
So, please, do ask us anything about the joys of surfing for someone who lives in outback NSW, food, bowel movements and footwear.
We're always keen to bring our perspective to your Washington readers.
cheers, cobba.

Spill the beans, Trev. Also can you delete all my posts from the General Surfing Section. Cheers.
