Where did you surf today ?

[Lucky Al]

Good to hear! Rock off skill will really come in handy if he goes off surfing and exploring coastlines for surf around the world

[RickyG]

I went out for the first time in a while this morning. Had a scary experience. I got caught inside and even though it was fairly small it was very consistent and I took ages to get out of there. Felt really sick and out of sorts for a while after. Wondered if I was having a heart attack.

Lack of surf fitness is a given, but this was something else. Maybe wasnt breathing deeply enough?

[Trev]

Probably just surf fitness but if you're uncomfortable, get checked out.
I get like that occasionally but always seem to get a second wind after a half hour or so.

[Beanpole]

Should read the Intro to Phil Jarretts Autobio. It basically starts just like that with him finding out a couple of days later that he's had a heart attack. Get it checked out.

Hey here’s an idea. Go to a Doctor.

Like most males I'm pretty slack at that. Made worse by the fact I've lost faith in my regular GP and haven't found a new one yet. But I am about 2 years overdue for my annual checkup so should go and do that

[Lucky Al]

What made you lose faith in your GP?

[crabmeat thompson]

Maybe he does actually live in Nicks backyard.

Pretty shit though that two competing surf forecast sites can be seeing things completely opposite.

not really. i think it's a good thing the two surf sites can conflict with each other. shows they're not regurgitating crap from the same old hymn sheet. or something something to that effect.

Easy 4-5 with the odd bigger one. More 3 today with the odd bigger one.

but i'm happy the swell did indeed fade and i was indeed correct.

Reckon it might be a good idea. Feeling sick and out of sorts after exercise could be a heart thing. But then again it may not.

Fad dieting.

Just a few things I've gone to him about and hasn't really taken interest. Old and set in his ways I guess. To be fair hes indulged me other times. He also has a shit list of specialists he refers you to

Hhhhmmmmm, good that surf sites have totally different forecasts?
Good for the one that's right.

[Thud]

Surfed the last 3 days. Monday pretty good but got a few good ones today. Nice clean conditions. A few banks happening so crowd spread out. Wave lit up a bit on a lowish tide

[steve shearer]

I'm actually surfed out.

sliced and diced from the rocks, boards all dinged up.

need a break.

today looks really fun.

[Beanpole]

How often do you blow it getting in at the Ox, Steve. I find Burleigh worse in getting out but obviously no problem getting in.

[steve shearer]

I hadn't blown it in months and in the last 2 weeks I've been sliced, diced and multiple dings on multiple boards.

[Beanpole]

First time I surfed Lennox I got a fcuking big sea urchin spine in my foot coming in. About as thick as a knitting needle. Managed to pop it out with a pocket knife at my mates place. Blood everywhere. At least it came out clean.
