Where did you surf today ?

Tuncurry breakwall huh! How do you like your sharks Ricky.??

Arguably the sharkiest spot in Australia by Dorsal posts.

Went out for a paddle yesterday and was pretty much thinking....I'm way too jet lagged to handle this. Particularly after three weeks of gluttony and boozing across Europe. Managed to eventually snare one good one and a couple of average ones from the pack. Don't any of these people have a job to go to?

Yesterday just south on NC's competition - some fun and no beginners, kooks but as always Brazilians.

Ricky don't care about sharks
He's even more core than shearer

Lucky I had a surf yesterday. Silly season seems to have started at Bondi. The high temps brings the early season Westies.

Interesting you mention that. I was out there again this morning (lumpy and wind-affected). A couple of locals pointed out a chopper off to the north buzzing around. 'That's the shark-spotter'. There was a heap of birds and dolphins having a feast on bait fish out the back, and with the chopper hanging around I decided to head in, wondering how they communicate if they spot a shark. As I was walking through the dunes the chopper came right down and they announced on a speaker that there was shark in the river (I'd be surprised if there wasn't).

Even better I was there with my son this afternoon pushing him onto a few waves on my longboard. Probably should have gone elsewhere

There was dolphins? In that case you would be fine mate.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

nice to see that youre getting amongst it ricky

[Drailed]

Yeah fair balls Ricky, I kinda forgot about the rough trot you have had lately. Good on you mate.

[RickyG]

^^ Yeah thanks. It's actually coming up to a year ago things started going badly downhill, and didn't let up for about 4 months. I'm determined not to let it happen again

I always figured they feed on similar fish so if there's dolphins there'd be sharks too. Do they bugger off when the dolphins are around? (I feel I should know more about this but to be honest I never really thought much about sharks until the regular attacks started a few years ago).

Disclaimer: dolphins dont really mean you're safe.

Good to hear Ricky, you seem like a nice guy and I hope you get the better of it.

For me one time they got my attention by coming in about 40m above me, one guy leaning right out of the side door obviously screaming "get the fcuk out of there" and gesticulating wildly to let me know there was a shark about 30m from me (newspapers said 3.1m great white). The shark had been tracking over to me from about 500m away.
