Re: How is wave height measured in Australia?

When I was living in swvic, a mate who lived a bit away from the coast would sometimes call to ask about swell size. If I said 4 ft to describe 4 ft faces, he'd have probably punched me

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Perhaps, but who ultimately would have the call to culling a (recognised) endangered species? I'd imagine acts of parliament(s) would be required

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

PL is very small in geographical area. Also would expect state and fed government to have the final call. Endangered species and all which is increasingly questionable

Re: Summer

Hot and dry here at work on the mid eastern EP coast. Currently 39 with a 30 knot westerly. A fire today would be scary

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Yes, I have some serious spooks. Was surfing alone on an outside bank just this side of Elliston a couple of months back. Was having a fun surf for about an hour then got the heeby jeebies and went in

Also swimming near home in the bay given recent reliable sightings of a 4 m white

Re: Where did you surf today ?

You did what you could, Groots. Be kind to yourself. Not sure what happens in Ca, but a mate was involved in a rescue at Mallacoota a few years back. Capsised boat. Saved 2 and lost one. Coroner involved. He's seemingly okay with it now, but rattled him a fair bit despite knowing he did his best. Th...

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Says “Leon” on it. Haven’t been riding that board. Possibly retired it. Goes good though. 90%+ on my Emery 5’9 and changing between thruster and twin depending on conditions. Aha. Definitely not mine though and I don't know him. Uncommon name - I've only met a dozen or so others Cheers for the boar...

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Not mine, buddy. Don't recognise it either. Probably knew about 70% of people riding his boards on the MP. Tried to zoom in on the stringer for a name but only have a phone. Will try on a bigger screen in a few days

Well despite the world falling apart, I surfed Beacon this morning in dense fog. Couldn’t see the beach so holding your position was extremely difficult. Fun size, glassy and uncrowded. Rode the Ghost. Life goes on.
Good onya, BA. Seems you have a fair chunk of life in your favour these days
