Re: Just general surfing stuff
It’s Surfline. They don’t cover anything to do with pro surfing. Wave pools are possibly in the same category.

I don’t think he did.
In the photo, Nick is trying to do the impossible. Get barreled on that wave.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
On the plus side with the wave pool, you can have 2 thoughts that don’t seem to go together. I’m going to try out this new surf spot. I’m going to get plenty of waves.
I do like the retro sci-fi helmets.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I reckon it’s more fun to surf than it looks. It will need to be.

I haven’t seen anybody properly barreled on the barrel section.

Re: General snow stuff
8 minute vid. New longest ski jump world record. There’s a lot of planning goes into it.

I’m not seeking to cast any shade, but are people riding Tomo surfboards much these days?

Re: Just general surfing stuff
You would think so. It just looked weaker than Melbourne. Though I think Kale’s impressions of the wave were honest and he was the one surfing them. He said he thought there some less abrupt takeoffs than Melb. Presumably to reduce the risk of injury.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I think any slight criticisms added into the review are simply to make it sound objective. Of course Kale is going to be favourable of it. His business is dependant on urbnsurf. Yes, he likes wave pools and they are great for his business and he’s a freeloading appreciative guest of the facility. B...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It looked very underwhelming. Even on a below average day in the Sydney area, I reckon you’d be able to find a more fun wave in the briny.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Wave pool enthusiast, Kale Brock, gives a pretty honest review after his test drive at the soon to open Sydney wave pool.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It would be significant but he would have no idea about specifics- that information is concealed in commercial in confidence documents. Sure, but he would be privy to the in-house WSL celebratory messaging that a big one had been landed and I think he would have a pretty good feel for the ballpark ...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I still retain a romantic semi-spiritual (in my mind) connection with snapper and environs based on my formative experiences there throughout the 1970s. I have many memories of that time that remain very clear and present to me. A bit ridiculous perhaps with the modern snapper and I have largely let...
