When its crowded an you are going for a wave with a million groms in the way just scream and yell your head off as you paddle. ARRRRRRRRR. You will soon scare all the groms out of the way. Ive seen it work a treat for Nick Carroll out at Newport Peak. What also works is to try to go right and left ...

Monday will be the bomb, particularly through the middle of the day with an extra long interval kick underneath 'er.

What's the bet the crowds of spectators will be nowhere to be seen this time :wink:

Jeez, all you computer tough guys, I wish you wouldn't advise the bloke to start punching. Let's face it, none of YOU would. Hi Localbogan I think bc's advice is the best. Be friendly! It'll either disarm the guy, or he'll be aggro back at you, then embarrassed, then you'll get along fine. People do...

Kudos to the paddle in surfers charging the Queenie. Absolutely. Now I figure that's the point Nick was making :?: That was my point for sure. No criticising of ol Merk's vid, good on him. But man, if you got a ski and a good towboard and it's 10-12' and you're going STRAIGHT...it just means you're...

Jesus H Christ, Dave Jackman would be rolling in his grave (xcept he's still with us).

Hurray for towins and all that, but that session just looks embarrassing.

agreed. a great piece. parmenter definitely knows how to craft words. nick, i'd have to disagree on that one. i reckon his fiction is often equally compelling. case in point: his story two issues back in the surfer's journal, written in the first person as a cancer doctor. i'm sure you read it. i t...

Go Hayden! Having ridden both I can say my take is that Greg's boards are more refined, but Hayden has his hands on a faster rocker curve and is working his way toward a refined understanding of rail and stringer foils. One day he will be one of the country's finest and most reputable designers, rig...

That last one sounds fairly detailed. If you want to let out anger from past experiences, Nick, we're here for you. Oh man don't get me started. Wanto got tangled up with the wrong crowd. Friends of friends ... the occasional cone or three ... nights on a bender with the odd line thrown in. Pretty ...

F**k it, let's make up some stories about what happened to Wanto. Here's three: Wanto was John Vincent Dunne and can no longer bear to think about surfing following the outcome of his court case. He now plays lawn bowls at the Collaroy greens and is looking forward to the Commonwealth Games in New D...

The “Anacapa” line consists of four performance designs; two small wave shapes, one all around shortboard, and one hybrid. All boards were designed by Al Merrick and the range and brand has been licensed to Global Surf Industries for production and worldwide distribution. Would think with this line...

Is that clubbie thing going to be televised at any stage. Love watching those guys deal with the big stuff. I remember a few years back when I guess the same titles were being held at Kurrawa and some young bloke died. Fell out of a surf boat I think. Reckon they'll be as keen to send em out again ...
