Re: Lost some weight, been doin abs, surfing better.

I'm really not big on the high protein low carb diets. As a health thing, they are unsustainable. Do it short term if you have to, but it isn't a lifestyle, and it isn't a healthy diet. Protein requirements for the average adult are quite minimal anyway, and pretty much all the good things your bod...

Re: Lost some weight, been doin abs, surfing better.

Yep, used to be a clubby down Bungan but with my background in swimming I found I was more effecient lying on the board. I would pick a good paddler and wake ride out to the bouy and then after turning for home hit the gas, swing a little wide to avoid being wake ridden myself and monster the runs a...

Re: Lost some weight, been doin abs, surfing better.

Something else I thought you might find of interest, most people are of the opinion that fats are bad, carbs are for energy and protein is for muscles. Thats all fine and dandy but the combinations of these food types are important as well. It's ok to to eat protein and carbs together, protein and f...

Re: Lost some weight, been doin abs, surfing better.

Carbs are basically energy you don't need to go to sleep with a stomach full of energy that aint gunna be used. If you train in the evening, say around 6 it's fine to have some carbs around 4ish to fuel for that. After you train you need high GI carbs within 20 mins of finishing your training along ...

Re: Lost some weight, been doin abs, surfing better.

Some interesting thoughts here, some good, some I don't understand whatsoever. I don't care what anyone says, diet is the biggest issue when it comes to weight control so get off the beers first and foremost. It is possible to get fit and lean while drinking but it makes it one hell of a lot harder....

Re: Ments Boat Trip Advice

I'm another one who would say go with Scuzz but it looks like you have been and gone. Done two trips with those guys and they were both epic. Didn't have Scuzz either time, had AK, good bloke and knew what he was doing and as an extra bonus was pretty damn handy with a camera. First trip was 14 days...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Not gunnery, that looks weak as, the other one further out I was told is called mexicans or someting like that. I ride a shortboard so it's no biggy for me.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

The only decent wave at flinders is meanos I reckon and the other one just a bit further out. Big left is pretty average and as stated is populated by far too many SUP and goat boat enthusiasts, having said that it's a very picturesque spot to go for a surf. Had good waves at gunna early last week b...

Interesting question NC, one observation I have is that the guys who were really good at dropknee ended up on a stick after a while, Teddy and another bloke Teal spring to mind, both of em good lidders and now great surfers. I havent seen Ted in a while but seem to be spending to much time in his fr...
