RealSurf Surfers' Forum

In respect of elite sports persons why is it that some get the timing right on a dignified departure from their career whilst others hang on and risk diminishing past achievements. Two specific current examples come to mind. Michael Clarke and Robert Slater. Your opinion as a sport journo please. I...

Belinda > Michelle

I can't believe Michelle Phillips was let through to the keeper??

ER isn't cool, he is a knob!

I'm so simple i had to google dullard!

Don't you ever change ER

Abit like you, he'd just had enough and gave some back. It was quite a funny to & fro actually

So "core"

Maurice Cole.. that's one who I was talking about anyway

Interesting how crew are turning on each other now that dip shit Andy has left, thankfully mind, and there isn't an easy target to focus on. Kinda like our sharkies As it is.. I'll have a crack at one of our bigger knobs The spastics on swellnet are going full retard over board color and shark-proof...

I reckon it was Sean.
Probably has gotten sick of being a poncy dolphin and has turned into a gws and was just being a typical big bro and fcuking with his little brother.

Surfed Nationals from 6 to 9 this morning. To full on the high but the last hour was so fun. Breaking well wide at the pot and connecting through to johnsons. Best thing was the lack of crowds??? Getting busy when i got out and the hordes were descending. Enos should be on this arvo

Back to mid lengths.. Years ago I had a Laguna Bay 7' 6 "mini mal" shaped by Phil Myers which I bought for my then girl friend. That board was a something special. Spent 4 months traveling between Sydney & Noosa after she was long gone and surfed it way more than any of my shorties. I have had a mid...

Pretty sure he won't regret the lifestyle he's had ie, travel, waves, chicks, drugs, adulation, income, etc
But... when he looks back at some of those vids he is going to feel pretty shit about his actual surfing! All style over substance.
Love the spinal tap analogy

Have never quite got Knost. Being in Noosa & surrounded by his disciples it is hard not to be aware of him (not a bad surfer but tries so hard to be "unique" he kooks it most of the time). Saw him around several times in different locations during the festival this year, ie surf, car park, bar, etc ...

The first 100 or so pages focus on the history of Bali. Research very detailed and extensive and to be honest I found it fascinating and left me wanting more. After the 'Morning of the earth' discovery it was just a few anecodotes from expats and friends. Some were interesting and deserved more expl...

What's funny about that article and how out of touch it was is that it is pushing Jarretts book from last year! His latest offering isn't mentioned. Which by the way, except for the first 100 pages, is utter garbage.

Strongly disagree about Mr Myers! For someone in his position to describe anyone of colour as "apeish" is not only naive but reeks of latent racism. His pathetic offerings since, ie his public letter, show him to be a complete asshole whose arrogance is astounding. Live by the sword , die by the swo...

^ = knob
I'm sure all those fish find it real fun! A real hoot!
