-Train to Otford, hike to Bundeena, camp overnight along the way. Then ferry across to Cronulla. About 20km

The wave recorded in Tasmania was 18m - this converts to 59 feet.
I guess someone figured Taz and Crowdy head are close enough

We've got waves up to three trams high today:

Where are the Realsurf roles reversed for you in real life?

What have you learnt from us in your time on Realsurf?

Stick the money in sealed envelopes of say $200 each. (write the amount on the outside) That way you don't have a big wad of cash, and you'll know if a sly $50 goes missing. -It doesn't happen in many places, but the keypad room saves have an emergency unlock code, and there are other people with ac...

"Roy reported a supernatural sensation of communing with the ancients. . ."

So can't you just ask them what it means then Roy?

Surfers are rarely so cut-throat in competition...any reasons why? There was a 3 man heat at pipe, where one surfer was frozen out by the others sitting either side. -Can anyone remember details? How about some of the recent leash grabs. I'm not sure surfers are less cut-throat, other than limited ...

I'd not seen this before.

I assume you mean Slater did it so Beschen's score did not count?

That's more exploiting the rules for your own advantage rather than sportsmanship.

I mean things like Occy trying to give Garcia waves at Pipe (although that was more for personal safety than fairness)

I gather they'd be surfing the soft right off impossibles?

I've been going in the shoulder season (april-ish or sept-ish) for most of the last decade. The crowds thin out a bit from peak season, but the waves, particularly around Legian are around the 3' size more often than not. The further west you walk from Legian, the less crowded the beachies are. They...
