RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I guess the word terminal has been taken to one of its other meanings!
I will let the topic drift!

This might be worth Otway steering again. Is there a forum on the Gold Coast we could raid with a plan like we presented to the now defunct forum in NewZealand For those that don't remember a dedicated cruise ship for mature aged ( Not necessarily behaving) Surfers and their wives, surf rock bands o...

Neilsen Park. I've body boarded it with my son when he was much younger and watched it quite a few times. Nice set up over a shallow sandstone, barnacle encrusted rock shelf.

Jumped off the ferry to surf it.
But true to the title going to Nazare this European winter, photos and terrification.

What's the food like otts? Man I love the mini crusty pastry baked custard tarts, about size of a fifty cent piece but oh so wow! Good thing they’re so small a man could a nasty plimsol line if they were bigger. Surfing sort of well but finding out what parts of my abdomen are not stitched together...

Hitting the Atlantic, pulled my body into some resemblance of surf fitness and been surfing Lagido in Baleal near Peniche. The WSL leg here has generated a mass of surf schools and the general population of graduated students have en Masse the exaggerated Poo stance with starfish arms into usage. St...

Yes just going to the new how to do it!
A video too!
Got a few of those from Merimbula, and other stuff!
I get it figured , but happily single malted ATM

Me older and most likely none the wiser, but the locale is so different as are river waves!

I have reincarnated under my original name.
But who is now whom? Of course I still recognise some of the latter day revisions but others?

Good to hear Otts. I still get a chuckle thinking about you leading the Realsurf foray down to the Enzed surf forum.

Loved doing that, talk about hook line and sinker!

Otway is back , living in Austria, and hunting River waves and planning an Atlantic campaign. Believe it or or not the rippleys size depends on rain further up,the alps, currently flat spell, pictures will ensue Over prostate cancer surgery and radiotherapy and an atrial fibrillation event , doing g...

Cheers. Digger sort have been on my own health journey so haven't caught with stuff on here,. But glad to hear you are climbing off the deck and beyond the back a little now. No drugs, that is so good shows the strength you have inside! Pleased to have met you when you were down my way. Good stuff O...

First surf, Jigama, mild mellow uncrowned and small, paddled out and had just enough strength to get three waves. Each was an improvement in lessening wobble and increase and returning skill. Rode the last to the sand and wearily waddled up to the car. A start and I am pleased , and was excited. Tom...

The where in Lombok for heavy swell, factors a lot.
Had some serious hammering over the years.
Age now limits me a little

Now to tie it all together! There is a large population of counter culturists in the hinterlands , some of whom surf. The cuttagee crew migrate to Byron for the cold winter months and revert to south coasters for summer. There is a whole art scene from Tilba to Pambula that wavers and waxes and wane...

Otway is still around and yes moderates on another forum. Happy to be PMed by anyone passing through! Currently recovering from a radical Prostatectomy by a robot called Da Vinci for a pretty aggressive Prostate cancer.... The surgery went well but had a major heart event in recovery ( Atrial Fibril...

Wubic Pig well bless my hand knitted map of Tasmania

Jackels?

Maybe it's the warming water , maybe the whales coming back, maybe it's about to become an annual phenomena (Tathra's in February). Now a large bull shark has been sighted at the very back of the Merimbula lake a number of times. They have been there before! Given there is a fish cleaning platform m...
