Where did you surf today ?

[Thud]

I can watch Gilmore surf all day. Especially on fish. Again different surf craft that surfs a bit flatter

[buddy]

I chased a couple of backhand turns in front of the most perfect barrel today.
And I bogged them both.
And it was in front of NPJ one of the best backhand tuberiders.
Fcuk he must have been shaking his head

[steve shearer]

The freedom of free surfing eh.

What a concept.

Just trying pathetically to hold on to some degree of respect.

fcuken hell, I recall a number of years back somebody going on about how women couldn't surf as well as men because their tits made them too top heavy.

it's all bullshit. As far as surfing style and technique goes, there's much bigger differences between individuals than there are generic differences between genders.

Indeed many men are shit surfers because they try to act like they think men are supposed to act, ie be all upper body masculine. This makes them generically stiff and clumsy in their movements. Only bad surfers are like this.

the whole subject kills me because it's so fcuking retarded. It was retarded in 1971 when Lopez, a 130-pound Asian man, dominated the scariest wave in the world with small movements of the hips and ankles, some of which he freely admits he learned from a woman surfer of the time.

And it's fcuken retarded now.

You got an article to write Nick? Seems like it.

[Thud]

Sounds like it.

[Nick Carroll]

I just have an active mind.

By the way you'd all better get ready to find an excuse not to surf this weekend because bombs away.

Remember when some Feminists near Angourie got a government grant to design surfboards for women?
Must be about twenty years ago now.

[Nick Carroll]

It was 1985.

[Thud]

Did they actually design and build a board for females?

[Beanpole]

I don't think they even surfed to start with let alone knew how to shape.

Nice conditions today. A bit too big for the banks on the sets. A few okay ones if you picked the right size though. Crowd was all over the place. The pack would paddle from one bank to another for no apparent reason.......except they are a bunch of sheeple.

Small autumn swell with no crowds...great end to the week

[Wyre]

I can feel this swell starting to build. The rumble gets deeper as I sit outside cooking some steaks on the barbie...

[buddy]

2ft closeout shories.
Fin to back of head.
Bit of glue at Byron hospital and tied together with my hair.

Hospital was empty. In and out in 10 minutes from parking the car.

[foamy]

I’m pretty ignorant on medical issues. Did they shave a patch?
