A little Barry Manilow for your Sunday arvo. His name was Ricky, he had a tapeworm He was walking down the stairs, in the dark deceiving air Before he’d finished, He’d fallen over Ol’ Ricky went a bit too far, He’d tripped on his giant calves And then his ankle blew hopes to surf were smashed in tw...

Yeah lots of ice and elevation. Got me out of a trip to the markets with the inlaws, so there's that I guess

Well I'll be fucked. There's only one loo in this place so I went to the downstairs one in the dark last night. Lost my footing and rolled my foot. Can hardly walk now. No surfing

Less exotic but im spending a few days in copacobana. Couldn't take a board but there's a decent mid length here that'll do the job. Was hoping for a surf at copa or Avocathis morning but it's pissing down and blowing a gale. Hopefully tomorrow

If I surfed bondage regularly some kind of softboard would definitely be appealing. Actually, wouldn't be a bad idea at collaroy on a sunday

I've watched a few of those vids. Insane, especially charging shorebreaks. Softboards have come a long way

Not sure why you wouldn't ride a modern bodyboard

I knew it wouldn't last

Happy new year to you too jimmy

I am a longboarder so collaroy has been a regular haunt over the years especially when everywhere else is maxxed out. Iis also a good place to hide when youre a little unfit and feeling lazy. It should be the perfect longboard wave but I've had more frustrating surfs there than good ones. Trying to ...

Sounds nice. No surfing but I went down to collaroy with the family for a late swim and dinner. The tide was the lowest I've ever seen. I got to check out all the bits of reef I've come into contact with over the years

Nice one beans. Always good to jag a few fun ones when everything is suggesting it's not worth it

Absolutely, might even head down tomorrow

Went down to longy with low expectations and I wasn't disappointed. Still managed a couple of fun waves before the onshore totally messed it up. It was the shortest period windswell I can remember. I looked back as I left and it looked like a lake with mushy waves breaking close to one another due t...

Fucking heavy

It blows me away how good skaters have it now. Remember the 80s? Council's and anyone else paying attention hated skateboarders and wouldn't dream of building a facility. Ply and other materials were stolen from building sites in the wee hrs and illegal ramps built in the reserves and crown land aro...

Fcuk that longboarder had the ugliest riding style. Probably similar to me

Reading this makes me want to get my longboard skateboard out for a ride again. It's been ages. There's no obvious places to ride near me unfortunately Olympic Park says hello. The entire precinct, the roads are laid with primo hot mix, a mix of flat and gentle slopes at most, shit it’s even lit up...
