couple of mates of mine on their boat yesterday in the heads fishing, a seal destroyed one of the Kingys they had hooked, mate managed to get some cracking footage on his camera, will post a link when he puts it on youtube. had the same thing happen to me on albacore off jervis bay. the bloody thin...

seals freak me out in the surf! not because of what they eat, but because of what eats them.. they don't get out of the way when you ride towards them, just stick up their big dopey-looking head and blink at you as they ruin your wave. kind of like bondi most mornings... saw a group of teenagers mes...

Had only been standin...

don't let laird see it, airboard for kooks...

found half of one of them on the beach at seal rocks, too me friggen ages to figure out what it was!

BD, you can use the following to check out the way prices have changed. Whack in the price and the year, and it will tell you what it would cost now. http://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/calc.go Actually shows that surfboard prices have increased faster than the index. Not quite that simple though, too ...
