Thoughts on this fella's surfing? Around 11mins his first wave at J Bay is a cracker. No TC but pretty damn good. I'm not too familiar with him.

Yeh great wave and so well surfed but I still would have preferred another 6 inches on the board.

I'm actually quite enjoying the Narra Classic. Some good surfing going down in conditions we can all relate to!

There’s surf on Phuket? I remember having some pretty good body surfing sessions over the other side on Kho Samui.

Spent Xmas once at Kho Samui and every morning had a body surf on a lovely little sandbank - everyone else was still in bed with hangovers. Was living/working in HK at the time so any wave was a godsend.

That wasn't Trev, he's a Trev wannabe. Dude never did one single head dip.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Nice fun waves.
But as usual the nose riding leaves me cold.
I love turning a board and staying close to the slot.
People riding obviously purpose built nose riders, jumping to their feet and walking straight to the nose just don't grab me.
Waste of a good wave.

Where's Steve, we need him to verify this claim:

Steve's probably vegging out and basking in the family embrace after several long hard days of surf reporting for Beachgrit on the Narrabeen contest. And a marvellous job he's done too. You beauty Steve.
