I scraped my shin on a rock in the surf once. I did nothing special to it but it did take a long time to heal. Possibly a couple of months.

As anybody ever been able to identify and track down the specific great white involved in a deadly attack? Plenty have tried. The vote sounds like political theatrics to me.

Re: post your modern day sickness

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Do you reckon the covid surfing boom is over and that’s why you are having solo surfs and there is all these good used surfboards, attractively priced, on the internet?
