You’re doing well. Banks are shit on this side.

I’m sure the banks are doing just fine. It’s the straight south groundswell creating the problems. Bet your home break would fire up nicely with some east swell in the mix. Speaking of which, Friday is looking to be fun, albeit it a bit on the smaller side.

Probably. Although the sand looks pretty flat at most spots. Hopefully with a bit more size pushing through today, it’ll move around a bit.

Bronte was looking good this arvo......but 40 guys on a four metre take off and a few getting absolutely pole axed if they went from too far across. Fun to watch.

Fascinatingly the Japanese Govt has asked the world to begin addressing Japanese people in the home-grown manner, ie surname first, named name last

Does this mean the World Surf League has to now call Kanoa Igarashi, Igarashi Kanoa?

My god I hope so.

Of course it does. Dumb question

There's a very high bar, but this is one of the most moronic things you've said.

Well I must admit I hadn’t noticed

Yes, I should rephrase that.....unless you're alakaboo.

Or the 1.2 billion people who speak a Chinese dialect, or anyone who has ever had a Chinese friend, or finished high school.

So his real name is Lance U Pet?

And Beanpole’s name is really Polebean

hahahahahahah

So Eunice Wang is now Wang Eunice?

Okay wise guy.....Chairman Mao?
Family name or first name?
Chiang Kai Shek?
Obviously they Anglicise their names in The West.

Isn't Mao the family name as it is said first, ie Mao Zedong.
Chairman isn't one of his name's ya know, BP?

My point exactly.
Our resident expert on these matters has been somewhat quiet.
