Re: Where did you surf today ?
Some good looking waves at Bronte today….plus a fair few closeouts. 60 guys in the water so gave it a miss.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I never realised Baja was one of the most violent parts of Mexico. Guess I’ve watched too many longboarding movies.

Amazing how cathartic letting off some steam can be!

Re: Just general surfing stuff
My absolute worst type of wave is one with a tight small take off area where situations like this are more or less geared into the experience.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
That’s what happened to a friend of mine. Went to take off and someone had eaten it on the take off. He tried to miss them and got pushed into the wall and dragged down the pool.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Well yesterday made up for the last three surfs I had at Bronte. Floundering around catching nothing. Just had to be philosophical and enjoy the view. Yesterday was just a classic little surf day. Got plenty of waves. Good vibes in the water. Happy with how I was surfing.

Re: Sun Screen
Dude, I’ve had multiple BCCs and a melanoma cut out of my back plus regular sunspots burnt off.
So many young guys are wearing bucket hats in the surf these days you don’t stand out as much.
Still hate wearing hats though.

I’m actually pretty stoked I haven’t had a sunburnt nose or sore eyes all summer.

Re: Sun Screen
The big beef is about some ingredients effecting coral reefs. Zincs good for your skin if anything. Some stuff burns your eyes but that’s got more to do with the stability of the ingredients than the ingredients themselves. Soap burns your eyes too. No way is using sunscreen more dangerous than not ...

Re: Sun Screen
Who remembers bullfrog. It was like superglue. I’ve got a big pump pack of Le Tan. I put some on every time I go surfing. Banana Boat was pretty good too but they had a bit of variation between the different styles of bottle. Followed by Tan Zinc on my nose. Just stopped wearing a hat or cap since t...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Nah, we had booked a place at Rainbow Bay. I was trying to work out if it was going to overlap with the comp. Anyway we got our money back. Might have been overlooking Jimbos pad.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Much higher risk of not making a set wave. As opposed to a guaranteed high point wave.
Fcuk I’m glad we canned going up there. We would have been staying in the middle of the comp zone.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
There was a commemorative thing happening down at Bronte. Local Pollies, Life Savers and old Diggers. Some Clubbies were handing out rosemary. We commemorated with some home made ANZAC Biscuits.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Went for a swim at Bronte. Surf was pretty crap and the SE Wind was starting to get into it. Guy walked down with a square nosed twin fin that looked about 5’ nothing. Watched him stretch and paddle out. Went in for a dip and by the time I was grabbing my gear to go for a shower he was walking back....

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Makes sense to me. Everyone rabbits on about hand shaped boards but properly foiled fins have always been a better bet than moulds.
