Good to hear Otts. I still get a chuckle thinking about you leading the Realsurf foray down to the Enzed surf forum.

Loved doing that, talk about hook line and sinker!

Otway is back , living in Austria, and hunting River waves and planning an Atlantic campaign. Believe it or or not the rippleys size depends on rain further up,the alps, currently flat spell, pictures will ensue Over prostate cancer surgery and radiotherapy and an atrial fibrillation event , doing g...

Cheers. Digger sort have been on my own health journey so haven't caught with stuff on here,. But glad to hear you are climbing off the deck and beyond the back a little now. No drugs, that is so good shows the strength you have inside! Pleased to have met you when you were down my way. Good stuff O...

First surf, Jigama, mild mellow uncrowned and small, paddled out and had just enough strength to get three waves. Each was an improvement in lessening wobble and increase and returning skill. Rode the last to the sand and wearily waddled up to the car. A start and I am pleased , and was excited. Tom...

The where in Lombok for heavy swell, factors a lot.
Had some serious hammering over the years.
Age now limits me a little

Now to tie it all together! There is a large population of counter culturists in the hinterlands , some of whom surf. The cuttagee crew migrate to Byron for the cold winter months and revert to south coasters for summer. There is a whole art scene from Tilba to Pambula that wavers and waxes and wane...

Otway is still around and yes moderates on another forum. Happy to be PMed by anyone passing through! Currently recovering from a radical Prostatectomy by a robot called Da Vinci for a pretty aggressive Prostate cancer.... The surgery went well but had a major heart event in recovery ( Atrial Fibril...

Wubic Pig well bless my hand knitted map of Tasmania

Jackels?

Maybe it's the warming water , maybe the whales coming back, maybe it's about to become an annual phenomena (Tathra's in February). Now a large bull shark has been sighted at the very back of the Merimbula lake a number of times. They have been there before! Given there is a fish cleaning platform m...

Thanks for the response Nick, Saltman. I think you have hit the nail on the head re my thoughts on where drinking sit's with me and that's where I am finding I enjoy social situations without booze and tend to only drink to kill boredom and occasional loneliness when away for work etc. Pulling the ...

The Tathra fatal attack was a woman!

Like a good crust on a meat pie. The crunch is the thing!

Nick, say a bloke was invited or found himself spending time on the Amalfi coast and Sicily and wanted to blend in but not present any outward colonial idiosyncrasies. What would you recommend for the wardrobe? Well if you mean yourself shearer, I will avoid the recommendation I might make to, say,...

You called roti didn't you? I saw evidence. He would have enjoyed his namesake swell, but you had to be there before its arrival. The Baa ferry was stopped due to the swell coming up it's route. I would not like to be on any ferry that goes down but that one would guarantee 100% casualties. no oute...

Nothing like being a retired Chiropractor, and having to apply your own treatment to yourself. Take that, and that, and that! 14 weeks out with medial co-lateral ligament small tear, = the usual and expected damage to the medial meniscus ( cartilage) So what is a self chiro treatment. First step, re...

Proof you read it cover to cover Trev.

I went Garuda to Jakarta then Padang , surfboards flew free but required a terminal carry through transit no automatic link up of luggage.
You do get to fly over Anak Krakatau, son of Krakatoa! That was a plus for me!!
