Burleigh on the not so low tide. Sweep was horrendous but it was pumping and not busy at all.

The sweep was pretty brutal today wasn’t it. Fair bit of water moving around.

Maybe I should have let the southerly carry me across!

Snapper... solid 4ft lines coming through. Wind was SSW all morning but seemed to go straight S at about 2pm, was too blowy for me. Felt like it was going to blow me across the bay to Currumbin. Vibe was a bit off in the water, old heads fading little groms for barrels and a lot of kooks getting in ...

The best part about it is this gold lion inlay on the nose of the board, it actually reflects light and blinds others around me. Dazzling both to behold and in the literal sense of the word.

Picked up a really expensive longboard from a mate of mine in NZ, it has these crazy fins. Almost foil-like. Cost me a fortune. Took it out at nashos and it seemed like it was going 20-30km/h faster than everyone else, picking up everything. I don't think I missed a single wave all session. Plenty o...

Probably not in a month. But come Teahupoo, the whole thing will light up again, and Pipe 2023 will be here in a heartbeat. Have WSL decided to run the women's and men's events side-by-side at the same venues during the same windows now? I was under the impression that there were always distinct ve...

So why do my boards cost $1000 a pop

I always thought he was straight edge, let's go, apart from not wanting a jab what other skellies does Kelly have in his closet? Dish the dirt

Is Nick not here anymore? I keep waiting for him to jump in

Yeah was around ages ago (2012?) but have just grown older and a bit fatter so thought I'd come mix it with the pros again.

Also I have "Fong" and "Alkapoo" tattooed on each arse cheek.

Snapper. Did the run around a few times. Spent 3 hours paddling for a total of 5 waves. Crowds were wild (as to be expected) with old blokes yelling at young girls for accidentally getting in the way with their 10 foot hot pink soft-top, but mother nature started to turn it on after about 3pm. I did...

Good on him - hopefully see him back one day

I'd have to agree with Steve. Yeh. I remember a story in a surf mag years ago. The old man struck me as some intense tennis Dad of surfing. Ever been to Culburra? Can get rough. Although the kids went to St Johns at Nowra, a good school. The toughest thing about Culburra was learning as a kid to acc...
