Jeez Nick, hit some sort of nerve there mate. You or those who tested where not being trashed (read again) it is the bigger picture that has been hinted too in several previous posts that I have tried to extrapolate.

Re: Ask Carroll
if s52 of the trade practices act (if it is still under that section) was ever properly litigated against 90% of the surfing industry then most of them would be doing time or sent bankrupt. Makes the catholic churches efforts look like child protection the amount of fcuking over and jerking off the ...

Re: Surf Cowards
So what's the story here? Saying the victim is a serial dropper-in-er? I just saw the pic and! I know him. Wel, l knew him in tassie. Took up ab diving off his dad's licence. Nice bloke, but I do remember one time he rocked up to my beach break in the far south, with a posse, and crowded out what w...

Re: Ask Carroll
on that note do you know much about the "nev house' project that nev is shopping for investors as at first glance it would appear a very innovative initiative for assistance for undeveloped or disaster affected regions of which many surfing zones certainly feature.

Re: Ask Carroll
Hey Nick a question, sorry if already been asked; you ever ride twinnies back in the day? If so, what boards and what's your memories of em. If not why not? Whoops I didn't see this one, nice work Bombora I didn't but I often think this was a bad move, I was a huge fan of Dane K and Larry Bertleman...

Re: Ask Carroll
Being a journalist, do you think footage of Schapelle boogie boarding with her new found freedom should form part the expected tv exclusive? Also do you know if she has skills (boogie boarding)? Well I think that would be a bit too obviously ironic even for Channel Seven, so no. No idea if Schapell...

Re: Surf Cowards
Snapper Boardriders just won that massive comp at Cronulla and $20k to boot. They obviously have some serious clout as to who is in their ranks and who calls 'dibs', pulls rank and has local presence out there. So IF and I repeat IF, this stooge is known to them or the Surf Club (or heaven forbid is...

Re: Surf Cowards
Coops posted this but gone quiet so he must know the guy who took the pic or someone related to this thread must know who this cretin is. Why not at least describe him and what he rides and if he is a local if too worried to name him. For no other reason than to help other avoid a similar fate becau...

Re: Ask Carroll
You know I once asked Tom Curren what he felt underlying his competitive impulse, in the full flood of competition, and he said pretty much exactly the same thing every surfing world champ has told me in reply: Anger, fear, desperation. What it looks like is not always what it is. What's extraordin...

[quote="Nick Carroll"]Nothing trumps hunger and desperation in sports. It's part of the growth curve for any athlete. The surfer who remains calm and relaxed throughout a career which incorporates a world championship has not yet been born. I don't buy it Nick,what about Curren, can't recall him bei...
