Hope the winds don't affect my local but if they do I'll go do battle with the crowds up north.

Might be a few mornings where it backs off enough for moffs.

Good luck finding a park, Trevor.

I can always find a park at Noosa.
If I go early enough.

Haha!
One of my mates up there has one of those.
His name is also Trev.
For many years had a duplex unit he built way back.
Couple of years ago he sold it and bought in one of the retirement villages out along the river.
Then bought a Sprinter and converted it to a motorhome. (Which he has to park out in the street as it doesn't fit into the complex.
Spends a lot of time down Evans Head, Wooli and other parts thereabouts.

Haven't been parked in yet.
We've got a unit up on the headland we rent a couple of times a year. Walking distance to everywhere. Generally time in with the NFoS and the Wrecks and Relics.

Cut and paste it, Trev.

Who won the case ?

Edit: Looks like the sister tried to scam his estate ...

I don't have access. Won't pay for the Courier Mail.

The Beachgrit article spells out the situation.

I visited Marty about 6 months before he went into the nursing home, as he wanted to sell me his water-housing. It was a custom made beast of a thing, designed and built by a mate and him. It housed an ancient Canon 5D MK1, and he wanted 2K (not negotiable) for it. I didn't end up buying it, as I'd just purchased a mint SPL housing for one of my 7D's. I regret not getting it, in hindsight it was an amazing piece of surfing history. It went missing after his death, along with a lot of other items of his. He was a mad little bloke, even before dementia set in.

Surfed with him a few times at the Alley before I moved to. Sydney
Back then he just fitted seamlessly into the local group (of which he was obviously one).

In the last years before his passing he did a lot of walking..i mean a lot. He didnt use his car. He turned up at a garage sale at my parents place at Currumbin Waters and bought some pots and pans. I was leaving there and asked if he wanted a lift. He said no...just give me a sugar bag for the pots etc (where id get one i dont know).
We had a chat and he reckoned the thing with walking was that "nobody dropped in on you when walking"
Another photog friend who knew him well said Marty was fine as longs as he stayed on his Meds...but was notorious for not...

Sister seems a bit sus. She “finds” a mysterious will that’s been drawn up by her son and witnessed by a neighbour.

[Beanpole]

Intrigue. Didn’t know surf photographers were that wealthy. I guess it explains how surfjournos can become property tycoons then.

New Sunny Coast surf spot due to open next year.

From The Inertia.

According to reports, Marcio Freire, a talented Brazilian big wave surfer, has died while surfing at Nazaré. He was 47 years old. At around 4:15 p.m., he caught a wave, wiped out, and lost consciousness. Lucas Chumbo was able to grab him and bring him to the beach, where rescuers immediately began resuscitation attempts. Sadly, their attempts were unsuccessful and he died on the beach.

This is the first surfing death at Nazaré, despite many close calls. Freire’s death will shake the big wave community hard.
