Just general surfing stuff

[steve shearer]

I'm going to start playing competitive table tennis (ping pong) again to up the fitness.

Only lost one game (to deuce) in an incredibly dominant week at G-land.

Flogged aussies, French and Russians.

Loving this. Ping Pong fitness. Thrashed a bunch of surfed out tourists. Wonder how many locals he played. I think a ping pong trip to China is needed to bring a sense of humbling reality to the fitness program.

welcome to the helmet Buddy.

borrow for free or buy for a six pack.

Cheers, might try it on at some stage unless someone else comes and gets it first.

Beany, if you want to talk his ability down you don't say 'well, there's better players in China'.
You put your hand up and challenge him.

While I would obviously thrash the upstart he has voiced enthusiasm for having a crack over there.

Steve, what were the bats like at joyos - pimple rubber, anti spin, or could you work a bit of spin out of them?

[Beanpole]

Any evidence of paddle doping?

typical thrashed old bats with mostly missing rubber.

I used a flat/defensive style of play- wall of death- to defeat opponents.

A bit like Beanies approach to life ?

[Beanpole]

True. That and periodic carpet bombing threads.

Defeated Shearer. Thats for sure.

[steve shearer]

Found my competitive table tennis bat.

Ready for action now.

Steve should take up Pickleball.

I had a nice cocktail yesterday at Lola’s, Bondi. Basically a glass of cold gin with two white pickled onions on a toothpick in it.
Pickled onions tasted better than I remember

[steve shearer]

Nice one Sunbird.
