RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Bindis and f**ken sharks...not wanting to go right off topic but I was surfing the quickly vanishing right rip bowl in the middle of Newport at 2:30pm today and a solid two metre shark -- bull or bronzie, couldn't tell -- swam within 20 feet, down low on the sand, and kept going up toward the north ...

in this day and age....and particularly with the surfers friend google earth :arrow: is "secret spot " now a wank on term :?: Fongy ... brilliant. You've outdone yaself. Kicked my arse that's for sure. In this day and age, when people actually try to claim North Narrabeen as one, I think we can saf...

You know, all this intense introspection regarding surfing jargon seems a bit overdone, like we're all walking on verbal eggs. You researchin' an article, Nick? God no, I'm having some fun on a couple of quiet days. You bastards are just copping it sweet. And, before I get slammed with, "What about...

NC - why do you need an excuse to be a crap surfer? In fact - what is wrong with being a crap surfer? Surely even us bad surfers can enjoy the ocean too!! I think being a crap surfer and enjoying it is a great blessing! However to do this, you must first and foremost KNOW you are a crap surfer, and...

in an above post i disagreed with Nick Carroll, i should warn everyone else not to, as its a bad karma omen thing as i just blew the head gasket in my car. so dont disagree with NC Marcus, my comment re "soul surfer" wasn't intended as a "hurray for contests!" Just to point out that many people use...

well I still think it's a worthy goal for a surfer -- to learn as much and gain as many skills and understandings as you can from your involvement with surfing... to enrich yourself so as to enrich others.etc etc etc Agree wholeheartedly, so does that make it like I said, not so much the word as th...

jeez, if you're going to go on like this about terms like 'waterman' etc. then you'd better defend that there is some authenticity to words. OK. I do defend the authenticity and power of words and language. Yet I don't believe I have any power over their usage without stating my understanding of th...

yesterday i mate of mine fell asleep on the beach and i drapped a whole lot of bluebottles on his chest and legs. he didnt wake up because he was hungover.slowely but surely after a hour he woke up and started rubbing his chest . when he found out about the bluebottles and started to scream i offer...

It's not the words, ricksy, it's the way ya use 'em :lol: And these (the above) are profoundly misused words. Good words turn to inanities in the mouths of fools... Oh oh, you better have a look at my follow up. Nigh on 20 years ago when you made the statement I guess it was different and to achiev...

DON'T use superglue.

Use Selleys 20-minute double sided waterproof glue. Kwik-something's the product name. Follow the instructions (ie clean the surfaces, spread glue, leave to tack dry, then boom.)

Will not fall off for a long time.

I reserve my right to mock anything worthy of mockery, regardless of any previous statements

Pituey, theys is only words ni©k...but as the wordsmith that you is (or is that a lame expression too :roll: ) I can understand how you might feel, bit like design work I see :oops: So then ....na©k, me thinks ’tis up to you to come up with more appropriate terminology so people don’t continue to m...

F**ken great news I reckon. Bede's an exceptional surfer and a quiet achiever. He's now got a 3-2 win record against Kelly of all people. The Septic crowd can't have known what hit 'em.

OK Squid (and ric!) here's my top three Surfing Bulls**t Terms, along with possible definitions: "Waterman" a) man made of water b) term betraying the underlying macho fixations of many older male surfers c) man who drives water delivery truck (as in earlier thread) "Soul" a) Intangible sense of oth...

Ol' pig champion raised a point in another thread when he labelled the term "waterman" as a bit of a Wank. What other surfing terms strike people as essentially phoney and lame? "Soul Surfer" causes me to chuckle ... "Oh, I wouldn't compete, I am a Soul surfer," yeah right, actually you can't surf v...

Yep, the nets are just meant to mess up their electrical field I believe so they don't need to be from surface to sand. No, ba, it's just meant to catch 'em. The nets do not interfere with the sharks' electrical field. They don't need to be from surface to sand because of the way in which sharks ap...
