How much power does a wave pool consume? Could this sort of venture completely offset its usage by generating it's own electricity via wind or solar? Probably not but it would be a start. The wave does not seem to be too powerful after watching a video on the redbull site. Looks to be a bit like a c...

To me the attraction of a wavepool would be purely a training tool when unable to surf in the ocean, replicate a movement/manoeuvre in a controlled environment repetitively and it would most definitely improve your skills in the ocean. The thing a mechanical wave is unable to do is replicate the var...

Seems like now is a great time to visit Ballina for some uncrowded waves.

Triple J program the Hack this evening had a segment on sharks on the Nth Coast of NSW one of the callers was Stave from Ballina don't think it was Shearer he wasn't after a cull.

I see good ol SteveShearer has gone to beachgrit to discuss his thoughts/fears on Nth NSW sharks some character by the name of Sharkman is firing a few comments Shearers way wondering if Braithy has followed Shearer to beachgrit under the sharkman alias.

Saw Storm Surfers on that Stan channel thingo. ' RCJ said his big wave training/fitness was essentially bugger all. True? Well up to a point. He does a fair bit of strength work. But none of my swimming shit. I watched it on netflix the other day RCJ seems like a very hyperactive individual in cont...

Thanks for the response Nick, Saltman. I think you have hit the nail on the head re my thoughts on where drinking sit's with me and that's where I am finding I enjoy social situations without booze and tend to only drink to kill boredom and occasional loneliness when away for work etc. Pulling the ...

On a more serious note Nick what are your thoughts on responsible drinking, how much is too much and the damaging effects of alcohol? I have found myself getting to a point where enough is enough and I don't get the enjoyment of having a couple of beers and require more and more which results in me...

Nick have the surf industry and clothing companies discriminated against surfers who speak out against them or have lobbied for better money and conditions for surfers on the WCT.

What a fruitcake The line most likely would relate to you rancho at a guess you would be the one sucking cock for cash though. How else could I afford my lavish asbestos-riddled, fibro flat if I wasn't? Location location location The line is out of a Kendrick Lamar song. I will rephrase it for you ...

The line is out of a Kendrick Lamar song. I will rephrase it for you Nick, Would you prefer to be broke rather than brownnose, crawl suck cock etc and be rich? Can you relate to this line or anyone you know? It seems like the sort of thing you think when you are about 19 years old. Then most throw ...

Nick,
"Somethin's in the water and if I gotta brown nose for some gold then i'd rather be a bum than a motherfuckin baller".
Can you relate to this.

Ice is cheaper than alcohol people from a lower socio economic area are the most susceptible to falling into it's grip, high unemployment, plenty of time and little to no job prospects I believe are part of the problem. Ice isn't a designer drug for hipsters and rich corporate types they will be goi...

Theres been a few things in the news lately, wouldn't be leaving my kids too far away in public with the amount of queer cnuts on drugs these days.
Times have changed. Sorry if it came across a little grotesque.

I take mine down the Point and set em up under a pandanus tree. I can see them and they can see me if something goes pear shaped. Last time I negotiated a half hour or five waves unless I got a tube-ride in which case I could go and get five more. That was the day old mate got bitten at North Wall ...
