Re: Just general surfing stuff
Yeah, but there’s making a quid and there’s spruiking. I don’t begrudge the tradies who work on these housing developments. Lending your name and promoting the area is way different in my books. It's business. Someone approaches a high profile celebrity, in this case a surfer to help spruik real es...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I’m kind of uncomfortable about making these moral judgements on how people earn their income. I’ve had people on this forum have a dig because I worked for a big mining company. Clearly these people never need steel or copper or batteries or……. And then there’s Steve, who is paid by a company who ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Borderline early. Not really worth it but nice to be in the water. Got one longish one at the start so I wasn’t too frustrated. Beach is finally super packed with tourists on the high tide. Just had a swim. Might have another crack for the late. Head down the road ... there's heaps of breaks beside...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
The poor old GSTK has finally shown its jealousy ... trapped in a quagmire of dampness and destitution, it lashes out at anyone and anything that it perceives to be in a better situation than itself ... which is almost everyone on the planet.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Porko, Fanning and Steph are doing a wee bit of development just back from Snapper. Luke Egan and partners, just across the road from Greenmount SLSC, and Owen Wright is also dabbling ... its getting pretty common to see ex-pro surfers getting involved in the realestate developer game.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I bet all of the locals love the Carroll’s. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0xTJtFSYkO/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Is that Tom spruiking a real estate development? Which would make Nicks article make even more sense and have more of a whiff about it. This: https://www.thecrescentestate.com.au/?utm_sourc...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Pumping. Bluewater 3-4ft wedgey bowls. How good were the conditions this morning ! I waited patiently for half an hour before catching the first of a handful of most excellent bombs. Surfing your local at Christmas can be delightful, with the local crew frothing over having a few days off ... laugh...

Probably involves a 500ml bottle of fish oil, some happy pants and a dead goat.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Well, that fell flat! For the record, I totally don't hate Torren. I'm just envious of his lifestyle and his ability to live on a yacht for a year without getting seasick, and surf waves that I'll only ever see in YouTube clips and travel to parts of the world that I'll... wait a minute, maybe I do...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
The vessel used in the film is/was owned by his father. After he finished his trip, the couple (and their two tin lids) from Sailing La Vagabond used it for a short while and filmed it for their YouTube channel. The yacht was on the market at this time too. It had heaps of issues, both mechanically ...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Okay, seems I'll have to explain :roll: He gets to travel the planet, free surfing and doing all sorts of cool stuff, while I get to surf 2' Maroubra slop with 200 hundred of my best mates. I hate him. Other than that, I have no problem with him and always enjoy watching his films. Man, he's on a t...
