Re: autumn

I really love the fact that some random but sometimes predictable weather patterns can alter my mood in such a major way. Bummer when you miss it though.

Re: Legropes.

I've had a few leggies snap after taking then OS as a spare over the years. I've always thought the customs must have cut them to see if they were full of contraband substances. Anyone had a similar experience?

Re: so what can anyone do about this

The east coast is being developed right now partly thanks to the new highway we paid for. It offers an opportunity to do it right.

Re: so what can anyone do about this

Have to disagree. I don't see the situation as us and them. As in they don't care so we will f*ck off. A lot of Australian surfers have a stake in bali and you could argue that we are as much to blame as anyone. Reading the Bali Post and a few expat mags last time I was over there made me realize th...

Re: What board for small barrelling pointbreak?

Used to have a little pocket guide that Nat put out with illustrations by Tony Edwards. Someone knocked it off. The Mark Warren one has lots of breaks and is also pretty old. Managed to get a copy of the old Readers Digest Air Photography one at vinnies. Kind of superceeded by google maps but still ...

Re: Wetsuits

Was going up to the showers yesterday evening after a surf and this kiwi guy with a new Walden Magik Board asked me to unzip his front zip wetsuit for him because he had put it on back the front "because he was in a hurry" :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :-? :D :D :D

Re: What board for small barrelling pointbreak?

they listed and mapped every break in the gong on their second or third issue. i couldn't believe it. some of those breaks you don't even dare look out at when driving past if you're not a local. Key reason why I cancelled my Smorgasborder subscription. Yeah that was great. Really got me keen to sp...

Is that a raccoon sleeping on his head or a haircut?
Looks like he might indulge in a few substances himself.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Decided to finally go down after buying some stuff for dinner. Onshore, crappy but the water was warm and I enjoyed being there even with the crowds. Wonder if they will ever build a three story underground car park and shove all the cars off the beachfront. I hate underground car parks.

Re: Ask Carroll

Yeah, kind of always thought that a bit myself. The only time I actually saw Nat surf was out at very small Angourie on one of those MOTE style pintails he used to ride. Kept doing these little re entries cursing and getting cranky until it was more or less on top of the rocks and threw up a bit of ...

Re: Ask Carroll

What about the old pumping the left arm before bottom turns that Nat, MP and I think Kong used to do? You're confusing viewing your reflection whilst masturbating with surfing ... right hand ... left hand ...take your medication ... or risk ending up in a westerly winded kind of cosmetic castration...

Re: Fists, waves and sexism in sport

Anyway Steph Gilmore is Number 1 at the moment so all is right with women's surfing. Has to be at the highest level ever.
The rest is window dressing.

Re: Fists, waves and sexism in sport

As I remember Rabbit did that for tracks as a bit of a joke. Peter Drouyn however did do a spread for Cleo. Maybe they can get him to do a reshoot to promote Billabong :-D-: :-D-: That should boost sales.Then they would have all bases covered. The way I see it there are two separate but intertwined ...
