In honour of Michel Houllebecq (whos not at all nihilistic IMO; he's comic. Is there anything funnier than the meaningless existence of his cube monkey in Whatever?.....weariness? could there be anything more representative of our western culture than this??) I find him a tremendous tonic. Anyhow, ...

That bad, huh? I thought there might've been one, maybe two takers...


...no?


I'll get my coat.

I've often wondered (and that's a lie in itself) if a wave was a writer, what writer would it be? What do you reckon? Would Shipsterns be Bukowski? For example, I'd rename Teahupo'o, Bernhards after Thomas Bernhard who was obsessed with death, or maybe JJs (James Joyce) because it sure as sh!t looks...

Sushi rolls, Macdonalds, hot stone massages, moccachino’s, Caesar salad pizza’s and dog whisperers ect ect are all contributing to the demise of a once innocent and beautiful island. The Balinese are going mad.....and i don't blame em. You know, KK, it's a bit like sitting in the line-up and thinki...

Indeed, Fong, but people make mistakes, especially kids. And this has been exacerbated by rumours which have been spread by highly irresponsible adults who should know better. But, of course, that's the idealist in me. Were those highly irresponsible adults his parents? Whichever media organisation...

At this stage, we don't know for certain how the whole payment-for-story thing played out. What concerns me is that so many Australians, accepting the alleged $300k deal as truth set in stone, are taking the attitude of, "well, now it serves them right if the kid does goes to jail!" Jeez, we can be ...

Roy, it's true that you have never stated that there is only one kind of board to ride. However, the fact that you arrogantly deride riders of other boards implies that you hold that belief. I just read the interview you did with the Daily Stoke. What I find disingenuous on your part is your failure...

Go to Sugarmill Surf Shop on Pittwater Rd on Saturday and ask for Nick.

Nick's about 16 and a good guy. He's the son of a good mate of mine. Tell him AJ sent you. Won't get you any $$$ off, but it's always good to have a more personal connection.

wow this has got out of hand, really you all thought i was some industry recon guy? :lol: thats a joke, nick ask your son, if Kim Stanek sounds familiar, i spent the past 6 years of high school with him... and i didnt see the other two pages of comments, but whats the point of having rash if you do...

I have scored an excellent couple of pairs at Vinnies last year which should keep me going with the various stages of semi worn out ones I allready have. A bit like t shirts really. The missus can't seem to understand the natural progression from new to general down the beach, gardening and yard wo...

Response from Randwick Council: ; our staff do need to escalate to a more aggressive approach for the benefit of all. awesome Yeah, I reckon that's gold. I politely suggested that, instead of giving them the thumbs up to get aggro, they'd be better giving these guys some basic skills in dealing wit...

And well he might be, Steve, but as a government employee, he's obliged to table the response and to take some form of action. I'd rather write an email that may or may not bring a result than do nothing.

Response from Randwick Council: Thank you for advising Council of your experience at Maroubra Beach on the 11 September 2011. I have investigated this incident and will be discussing it with all lifeguards at this weeks new season training sessions. Unfortunately, when surfers regularly go through ...

Don't blame you, Olds. Summer down the Nasho, I reckon.

Emailed both Maroubra SLSC and Randwick Council. Will post any response.
