The worst place I’ve ever surfed for that when there’s some size is off the pool at Merewether. Worst slog ever.

Santa Cruz on my old 7' Grant Miller V-Skate I brought back with me. Went beautiful in 5-6' waves this morning, fcuk it's good to get that old board back under my feet, haven't ridden it in over three years I’ve still got my 2 x 7’ V-skates. One was a custom which is still in OK shape, the other wa...

Thanks buddy, we’re just going in blind, spur of the moment decision. Will I need to take a board? I’d be happy to ride any old thing if boards are available.

Good down the line surfing. Comp surfing in waves like that shits me to tears. Going vertical for the big move then not making the wave

Competitive surfing, such a crock

Could somebody please call an ambulance for trev

I remember when my wife and I caught a shitbox cargo boat from Sibolga to Nias in the early 80's. When we got onboard I said to her make sure we stay close to the boards at all time, if this thing goes down we'll be the only two with any hope of surviving. I only knew to do that because mates of min...

Whites are pretty obvious even if you don’t get a good look, pectoral fins like a jumbo jet.

Pretty rare for a bronzie to cause any issues. I agree. I wasn't implying that the line-up was empty because of the sighting, I just thought it was not wise to surf by myself where it was sighted. Someone arrived soon after my post and we went out unperturbed. All great, but how good but how much f...

The Swellnet article wasn’t about localism, it was about the bullshit storm in the media, social and otherwise.

Looks good to me! https://www.swellnet.com/news/reels/2023/07/26/watch-chasing-the-unicorn-mozambican-surf-story That’s the vid I posted up top, found on youtube. As one of the guys in the vid mentioned, lot of onshore wind, fickle surf. Not particularly phased by that, plenty of other water activi...

I think most peeps head north. Not anymore, the north of Mozambique is off limits due to terrorism and kidnapping etc. Very unstable, but that’s way up north. Sounds like too much hard work. Senegal? No this isn't a hard core surf trip, mrs. mullet is coming. The Kruger part is not negotiable, and ...

@ offy…..do you guys get slugged annual council rates, or something similar. Pays for getting your bins emptied etc.

Yeh, been there. Still pretty rough after years of war and I believe AIDS is very prevalent (cough) Tip: Go via Swaziland. Amazing environment and a kick arse park you can wonder around. Some of the saffas I know have mentioned Swaziland, I mean Eswatini as it's called now. What else can you tell m...

Awesome boo, that’s exactly where we would be heading, around Tofo.

Seriously thinking about going to Mozambique at some stage. I was working with a few Saffas (non surfers) who used to go up there hunting and fishing or just camping. It borders the north of Sth Africa and runs north for thousands of kms. Tropical, cheap and largely off the tourist trail. I just fou...
