Nationalistic pride aside, here's the reason this has been brought up again - 100 Years - A Celebration Of Surf Life Saving At North Steyne is written by Matthew Benns , who also happens to be the 'journalist' who authored this story. It's nothing more than a press...

No question that it's an unlikely scenario, though I was more interested in the legal side of things.

Nick, those sort of things (restricting the water photogs/vid guys, accreditation, not getting in the way etc) are surely all just gentlemen's agreements and wouldn't really have any legal force behind them would they?

Re: Drug Dealers

Got a little battle going on in my mind at the moment. I suppose, being someone who's dabbled in their fair share of mind altering bits and pieces over the years, it might seem a bit 2 faced. Drug dealers, everyone knows one ( maybe not everyone ). They never really took up much of my thoughts but ...

Big comp about to go down in the US http://www.bodyboarding.tv/usba/ They even have a webcast. Most of the big name aussies are in it.
