Re: Just general surfing stuff
That's pretty awesome. You can see where the cabal estate has increased the tidal prism and changed the location and angle of the ebb tide. Yep. Over the last 5 years or so, the canals have pretty much doubled in size so the water flow is greatly increased. Funny, I didn't realize it autocorrected ...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
When did they stop pumping? The shark management program (SMP) commenced in 1937 and there was a marked reduction in shark attacks soon after. A whole lot of men weren't swimming in the ocean from 1939-1945. That's the problem with the data, there are so many factors that can't be controlled for.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
I dunno crabby, I don't know that anyone can really answer that with much certainty. Most of the really big ones would've been around before the ban, so they are ones that didn't pose a risk or take baits (evolutionary selection pressure, you see). To an extent they probably keep the medium size one...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
It's not about the change crabby, I've changed my tune as well. It's about not being able to comprehend Steve's view when you held even more extreme views not too long ago. do you think we should cull and net, now? Nah mate, nothing that extreme. I used to think, based on the data at the time, that...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
I surf in the Red Triangle, where between 1/3 and 1/2 of Great White shark attacks have occurred. https://www.fearbeneath.com/habitat/the-red-triangle/ People have definitely changed their behaviour, I don't surf alone and I have a trauma kit and emergency beacon in the car. It's almost all marine s...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Wouldn't mind if crew read my latest Swellnet piece on the ethics of shark control. Decent article Steve, in need of a little editorial review for mine. Not the content, just a few grammatical points. I would've liked a bit more of the aquatic ape theory. I don't know that ethics is really the righ...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Top end Matuse are Yamamoto. I think some nineplus as well. Loof, I chose Isurus because I was between sizes in the Feral. I'd choose Isurus if they both had a size that was right for me. The original Patagonia suits were stiff and super fragile. That hasn't been the case for about 10 years. They're...

Who would've thought that heating up the ocean would have consequences.
Looks like another system about a week behind it too.

It'll be much weaker when it gets to you, and it looks like it will curve north.
