All over the news this morning pretty scary. Shark didn't look that big but all the news outlets are using the picture of the tail sticking out of the water makes the shark look bigger than it is.

Nick I have just read over a promotion for surfing with Mark Occhilupo in the Mentawais or Maldives. All of it is a standard sales pitch for the resort except one part caught my attention. "Daily surf sessions hosted by living legend Mark Occhilupo, with tips, points and some great line-up banter ."...

Kelly is trying to set an example i hope.
Freesurfers as a commodity could be Rasta, Craig Anderson etc I guess the true form would be the person who goes to indo etc to never be seen again.

Get up at the same time and do as Shearer suggested go fishing or walk etc Fill the void with another stimulating activity.

Nick did Kelly go with the Kering group due to environmental and workers rights credentials?
In the realm of free surfing does anyone compare to Wayne Lynch?

Thats fair enough to fill you in Paul Pierce aka The Truth grew up in LA as a Lakers fan. Was drafted by the Boston Celtics after years of struggling teamed up with The Big Ticket Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to lead the Celtics and win the Championship defeating the L.A. Lakers. Now at 38 and in the...

Nick what sort of difference do you think Paul Pierce will make for the LA Clippers?

no seals in Ballina so throw that one out the window. Plenty of walruses though. http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2013/10/16/1226740/981901-four-in-ten-aussies-dangerously-fat-study.jpg Yes well the Richmond River does go up as far as Lismore... That looks like my misses. Which brings me to my ...

My lord I take it your still with your new chick so my advice is probably useless to you but I will post it for others. Condoms bring your own as the quality over there can be shit house. Plenty of good rub and tug places around just ask your Cabbie driver. Don't go to a dodgy side ally one theres p...

Nick I noticed Uluwatu is going to be the location of a QS event. Probably a CT quality wave. If you could pick any 11 locations for next years Dream Tour without factoring any economics of hosting an event. Where would they be and why?

Roy are you are Hipster?

Nick I have heard about the rip curl gps watch and surfers using them to log data of their session. Waves caught, distance traveled and speed. How is this data useful for any surfer? From personal experience I tend to rate my surfs on the quality of the waves caught, analysing myself where I went wr...

By midday the swell had increased in size. Ulus had about 6 out at the bombie, Impossibles was nicely lined up, again about 6 out who were just getting repeatedly nailed by some of the biggest sets I've ever seen there. Padang Padang had 50 odd in the water, but only about half the set waves were b...

I think that covers it cancel that question.

Surfing has been shortlisted for the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan. Do you think the Olympics is a good fit for surfing?

Nick how does a surfer bridge the skill gap between Intermediate and Advanced. Time in the water is a given but there must be other skills intermediate surfers can nurture to enhance their skill set. To further expand their surfing experience. Wow what a fantastic question. I can only draw on what ...

So yeah, most of the time the best surfer in the water is the one having the most fun. Because that surfer has developed the skills and senses that allows a deeper engagement with the session as a whole. And when it comes to riding the great waves at a high level, that's where the true gold of surf...
