vortex posted some water shots of a grunty little reef break claiming that they were his. When congratulated on the nice photos, he said Cool guys, glad you liked em. Turns out he nicked them from someone else's site. Since then he has toned down his bullshit annoying realer-than-real rootsy soul surfer act, but has ignored advice from RS forum members to go & get well & truly fked.

Subsequent investigation has confirmed that he lives in Emu Plains, has a big callus on his right hand and hasn't left his bedroom for three & a half years. Skin biopsies suggested that his last exposure to salt water was 1994 when he gargled some for a sore throat.
Flattered i still warrant the effort :wink:

Oh and btw, this is an example of that thing you're always accusing others of, oh what was it called again?... 'Baited'?

See this is what happens when Chamberess and Jersey aren't online! Funny Jersey arrives in Sydney and Chamberess leaves the city.

How's THAT epic passive-aggressive clash of wills (C and J). Ol' Tigey wouldn't stand a chance.

They're so much alike except for their surfing skill levels. I miss the midweek Springer /WWE Diva sessions.

And a 2.3m great white pulled dead from the nets at Palmie during the week according to the Manly Daily today.

Might keep the crowds down if this keeps happening.

Page 7. They said it was dead when they pulled it up so they disposed of it "at sea". How many do the find that don't make it to the paper.

Me thinks plenty.

Yep, the nets are just meant to mess up their electrical field I believe so they don't need to be from surface to sand.

And yes, they are not on every beach on every day. I guess if the nets were left there, shellfish, weed etc would start colonising and form like a mini reef. I think that's what they are getting at.

Nice thought.

No, ba, it's just meant to catch 'em. The nets do not interfere with the sharks' electrical field. They don't need to be from surface to sand because of the way in which sharks approach shallower waters. Sharks, especially bigger ones, swim low and deep when coming in toward the beach, giving themselves maximum sight range. (this is why you don't often see 'em, even though -- as the current evidence suggests -- they're there in spades.) They also tend to swim parallel to the shoreline, then turn and come in a few metres, then swim parallel again.

I bet some of these sharkies are a bit closer in due to the heavy weather and increasing fish numbers right now.
