winds swung offshore.
I'm going for an air.

how big?

well this is going to fuck everything in the ass.


so much great sand out the front on mine ... incoming storm bar 200m out to sea will replace it all

Wear a GPS/HR watch for a surf if you want a reality check on surfing being exercise. Mine says I'm asleep for 70-80% of the session on points, about 40% on beaches, and I don't wait for waves to come to me. that's interesting. and we're all different. when i come in and check mine, my heart rate o...

So this summer, hot, humid, more storms / cyclones, and more rain?

in a nutshell basically. i think higgins stormchasers said something outlandish like 25 forecast cyclones in australian waters this summer.


that's eyepopping!

this is really nice isn't it. i could get quite used to in here.

the la nina i'm thinking of was before the 2010/11 shep ... I had my torn achilles that year and moved to angourie in late 2010. around there was really fun. some big crisp days at backbeach too.

lol

Steve, my man, im advocating for nuance. You're also using the Trump logic for climate change denial. "Nah it was cold in my town, therefore its a hoax". Your only proof for argument comes from attacks alone. Not the possible 100s of sharks that aren't pinged and don't attack and are essentially in...

the theory is, like most creatures in this world... is that sharks each have their very own unique personality. so yes, some will be grumpy, others angry, others chill like bob marley. some will even have a sense of humour. like this chap off costa rica back in the 80's. when obviously the weed was ...

back at the turn of the century when i was with surfrider ... the pressure we applied to have them taken down was immense. it made council where they voted on it. from memory it wasn't even close the count, to keep them up. but gold coast will always make $$ orientated decisions, and there's no high...

you got any recollection of the last one shep? my memory is hazy, but i feel like the banks were always in a constant state of being fuschia. ripped out and gutted, all the action out on the back storm bar into a big wide & deep gutter. bit spooky. i do remember the super bank came of age, and damon...

Seasonally.

you can guarantee they won't now, yeah?

yeah, can't see QLD pulling those nets, or at least not without replacing them with drums. I just find it ironic that people say there will never be a cull because of popular opinion when there has been a culling program in place for 60 years. humans rarely like to face the extent of their actions....

people have been tirelessly fighting those nets since their inception, for that reason. the gov don't want to reduce their tourism rev, though. in all the attacks, by memory everything i've ever read is it was one bite attacks? just much bigger sharks doing it in the west? maybe that swimmer at cott...

when i said deeper water, i only meant deeper than the surf gutter. like the schools of fish bombora talked about (see below) way out back a long long way from a breaking wave. i'm not sure inshore fish stocks are thriving? in regard to nick's attack, and many like it -- the WA one's especially. whe...
