Can Watagoes get solid?

Just been for a ride up the lighthouse - took this about an hour ago - Bullies... that bit of whitewater is where you don't want to be although it's a pretty simple paddle out to sea it's just people get sucked in to fighting it :lol: .

Watched a bit of the stream from Snapper with Rabbit and Richie. 4 hours….Fast forwarded through some but the commentary is entertaining and it makes good wallpaper. Some epic rides. Better than watching a comp.

Waves look good for the portugal comp today.
Got a few Aussies to come in this rd of 16 including Cal Robson from Evans who's been ripping.
And Imaikalani deVault from Hawaii who has been comp standout and posted a 19.6 heat yesterday.

Nice story about the New York Times’ Australian bureau chief and the life changes he observed from taking his kids to nippers.

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.

You didn’t find it a bit cringey? I suppose the tummy tickle was enough to have you Australians purring in uncritical delight but to me it read like yet another of those articles by a tightly wound cityfolk who thinks they’re the first person to discover that the outdoors is actually quite good for you. Love that he got in the humblebrag about his mahvellous children. Public speaking? Fuck off

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

He’s written a whole book on the subject. Gstq, you would love it! Dare I say, need it. It would be a good one for your Christmas stocking.
