zzz, I agree, agree, and agree with your points Johnno, I kind of agree but as I've been on both sides to a certain degree - let me explain, a) been out at box head with a friend paddling and had jet skiers - who happen to be life savers come out and buzz the crap out of us jumping/noise/wake .... a...

Just noticed your from the Bra. I've seen a lot of footage of Bra Boys tow surfing at "Ours" whith paddlers in the water - whats ya feeling on this?

There was another post from a lid about deadmans on that day - The poster copped a spanking and was kindly given a lift by one of the Jet skiers and seemed to be very appreciative of their presence .... makes you think maybe the people in the water don't mind their presence - given that they probabl...

Would of expected southy to be working on Sunday, but when I checked nuthing - Anyone else check it out and see anything breaking later on in the day - I checked it at 5 ish.

Didn't mind though cause soemthing else was going off

Another point is that when I've been paddling and had mates on a ski the amount of wav...

In regard to jet skis I agree that paddlers should have priority over tow ins and I have often used to grab a few extra waves. The 300m mentioned is how far you have to keep away from a designated surf zone, which I believe is the blue flags they put up for d1ck sticker carnivals for the real d1ck s...

Bronte and Tama may be taken with a grain of salt cause if it's over a 1ft they tend to close the beach because the rips are really strong - but I've also had the experience of surfing off the point in between the two and being harassed by the clubbies from both sides and the point in between Bront...

Wanto, After continously breaking boards, I ended up speaking to the the head of school at unsw (it was a while ago and can't remember his name, sorry!) and two of his students had done thesis on surfboards/how they break. Their conclusions were that they break in compression and he suggested that a...
