Re: Hernias

Groin area. Swells up a bit. It’s been playing up a bit the last couple of weeks so it got my attention. Prior to that it wasn’t that obvious amongst the various other aches and pains us old codgers get. Initially thought it was a reaction to the Metformin I started taking.

Hernias

Think I’ve got all the symptoms so I’m off to the Doc tomorrow. I saw a few references to people who have had an op.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Clicked on a YouTube Video about the best places to surf in Scotland and it was obviously AI generated. Heaps of drone footage of various bits of coastline with a couple of still shots of learners waves and video of people splashing in the shorebreak. The narration kept saying various spots were wor...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Bondi….only two runs through to get a park. Comp on down south end. Crowded and bigger ones were shutting down. Got a good right at the start then a lot that either close out or died out on the inside. Finished with a good hollow left that reformed right across the Shorey. Pretty happy considering. ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Bondi. Three circuits to get a park but as usual in those conditions the surf wasn’t that crowded. Nice little bank and nabbed a few.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Saw some old footage of the 81 Bells Comp where Simon introduced the thruster on YouTube. It’s big and pretty sectiony but it only looks like Simon and Ian Cairns are surfing the waves in a manner that people would expect these days. Everyone else is just trying to stretch as far as they can down th...

Insert abuse about what type of retard Mong would go and surf largish Nth Bra in a southerly swell with onshore winds.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Fcuk. Wasn’t going to go for a surf since it’s a bit onshore. Thought WTF and took the foamy out in the corner. Noticed a few bluebottles on the shore. Paddled out and saw more. Learner near me got one wrapped around his wrist. Then I caught a wave and got wrapped around my ankle. Haven’t been stung...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Funny the road to Hat Head is bitumen but nowhere near as crowded. They also installed some dips on the backroad that aren’t all well signposted and would do serious damage if you took them at speed.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Road out to Plomer is a classic for corrugated road surfaces. That road gets flogged.
