Next thing you know there will be an artificial sun to go with that actually i think that transparent roof is probably a uv filter of some sort. i'd like one of those for my balcony. since when could you make a roof like that complety transpaerent haha! hey look closer at the first pic, i think the...

i went to bells almost two years ago and i was very dissapointed to see the smallest surf i have ever seen at eny surf beach ever! honestly there was not a wave, and the ripples on the sand were struggling to even turn into yourr usual white froth. i may have a picture somewhere. What im saying is d...

What's going on here? The wave is obviously at least ten feet tall, so why is everyone saying it's much smaller. Am I missing something, or is this some weird surfer thing because I've noticed surfers generally say a wave is half as tall as it really is (except with the very biggest of waves you se...

but is it even possible to duckdive waves that big? Im pretty chicken in biggish surf and i always bail and swim as deep as possible. Even if i swim real deep i can still get sucked back (if close to the break zone) or caught up in the turbulance(if already broken properly), so i don't see how you c...

zzz, but what if surfer A is 8 meters closer to the shore? kind of a joke so don't reply.

I reckon if they both go for it, they will work it out for themselves once the final decision comes, unless surfer B is a knob who clearly drops in.

yeah i went down to the styne at manly at around 2pm, was a very slight onshore, but the water was really calm and waves with apparently a 14 second period. It seemed a good size at first, until a freak set come through. Massive closeouts in this set(biggest ive been in, so more than 1.5 times overh...

i tried putting up a few surf photos in the 'sydney region' section, and after over a week of it saying image pending, i got emails saying that they had been rejected. They were under 50Kbm and ok quality, but i don't know why they were rejected ( it was an automated response). Also, why does it tak...

i ride a bodyboard so i always bail when a huge wave breaks close to me, cos im not too good at duck diving (i always get fucked on), i always bail and swim to the bottom. It sucks when you do this and somehow the turbulence still manages to pull you back into it - i swear sometimes its beacuase it ...

WOW, how ausome was thursdays swell, im sure the wave at dead mans, just further around from fairy bower, was 20ft and plus (faces), it was so ausome, i filmed it. The whole south end of many actually had some surfable waves!!! (and i got some footage of a surfer getting towed onto a wave at a bombi...

PUUUSSSSSSSY!!!!!!!!!

nubby, you left out one...

20ft....thursday

(according to dons report)

that would be ausome, but i would be more likely to just sit on some point and watch it. Actually with huge surf, where in sydney does the swell rap around to give reduced wave size??????
