Re: The Outsider
anyway all this shit is retarded, there's a fcuking pandemic in progress, the WSL is clearly doing all it can in that context to make events happen. They're always gonna look like shit in the process, and they'll be exposed to constant ridicule. Until it clicks.

Re: The Outsider
To me it's just not a thing the whole idea of competition is that it happens in the presence of the Foe. Go away and shoot film of your best rides is a hoax. You could ride 100 waves and finally get one good one. That's not the deal. The deal is outfoxing the opponent. That's where the fire is. That...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Is this swell coming? Sounds pretty quiet out back of my joint. Dawn will tell Dunno. Swellnet says it’s building, coastalwatch (Crabmeat) says it’s fading. Someone doesn’t have a clue. Ok well it's def smaller than yesterday but there's a different little pulse been trying to fill in all morning, ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I would bet not. I would reckon they're working on a replacement spot in NSW right now. See the circumstances of half the pros' arrival haven't changed, they have a flight part chartered that arrives in Sydney. Just 120 spots so not many entourages coming. But they won't want to risk the border thin...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Yeah that really owes a lot to pro surfing. Right. No more graphic demonstration of the real causes of surf crowding exists than Bali.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
At Snapper, half the favourites are in the local boardriders club, and half the club is employed in some way, so they're fine with it. Etc. Seriously ? ... admit it, you just made that shit up. Yeah OK. Think about it. When the Quik Pro shifted to Snapper in 2002/3, the first three surfers to win i...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I wonder what the Margaret River area would have been like if there had never been a WSL comp there. I'm guessing, very crudely, a reduction in surfers by maybe 30 to 80 percent? ha ha based on what? Your imagination? Come on. Why do YOU surf? Margaret River has been a surfing legend since the earl...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
lol it's just surfing contests, it's not crime! channels as above re locations, these events are never really forced on a spot. If a CT happens at a surf spot, you know they've been given the OK in some way by the community, that local people are benefiting in a real way. So if you're writing about ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Re CTs, most of them have daily time limits set on them so there's plenty of free surfing time in the mornings and arvos for locals and pros alike. They're not blocked off for the waiting period. Assuming a 7-5 day like Snapper thats an hour before and an hour after, shared with the top 34 and thei...

I gotta say, there's way more talk about bashing in the surf than there is actual bashing.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
What’s to stop anybody from being out in the line-up during a surf comp at any location in Australia? Isn’t anything below the high tide mark crown land, including inshore waters? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-01/can-you-own-a-private-beach-in-queensland/9714874 There was a short discussion o...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I think on the Gold Coast there is a bathing reserve that they can police and arrest you. doubt that applies elsewhere. Most interesting thing to me after reading Nicks story on Surfline was not a single direct quote from the WSL. I understand why Starkey won't return my calls but to not speak to t...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
ok so the council staff rec was for it. One councillor set up a motion to reject the recommendation. A bunch of councillors spoke, two were against the rejection, the rest were for. the motion went to a vote and the council voted to reject. Looking on it struck me that some councillors were pretty s...
