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 hate Torren!

Yeah, more envious of his lifestyle and surf style than 99% of the Pros. I reckon being on the circuit on the bottom half would wear thin very quickly. Then again I’m not a competitive type of person.*

You'll be welcome's aboard my yacht anytime, AJ ... if and when I get around to purchasing one.

Probably three decades or more since I’ve surfed Alexandra headland SEQ.

Always found it sucked on a rockered out shortboard.

This seems like a green light to give it another go, but on a midlength.

Lasted 4 mins. Fcuk that’s some ugly over amped longboard surfing. Guy on the log was the only one with any style.

All the more reason to hit it on a middie or longboard.

Needless to say, it’s not normally that good. A slow, cruisey, longer board type wave. It can be quite hard to get waves with a crusty older crew of regulars. Popular with tradies.

I’ve never had it good out there. it’s always been the sort of wave that send you to sleep, even when overhead.

Looking at the video the crew looked to be taking themselves a bit seriously.
