I never used to be either but having a kid sure changed that!
Surf will have to wait till the weekend, unless I pull a sickie but I've run out of them already

pridmore wrote:gee, sounds heavy, hope the kid is ok...let us know if you find out how he goes Hatch ..... Think we all have had a few close calls in the water, I know I have gone close to doin serious damage to my back once or twice....
I reckon he will be, despite the busted nose he could move all his fingers and toes.
Reckon he may put a disc out and definitely a decent bit of whiplash as well.
Kid is lucky to be alive though, if he had of gotten knocked out he could well have drowned as he and his mate were not surfing near any of the groups and his mate was a pretty scrawny kid as well.
Aah well we've all been there I guess

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.

pintail shorty...
a proper narrowed in pintail but scaled down at about 6'4 x 18 5/8 x 2 3/8 i think...
deck's quite rolled and the rails are low/pinched...
moderate rocker, slight single concave running down the board then finishes in a vee at the back fin................
RichQ makes a nice board doesn't he. Spent an afternoon in his workshop with Ric a month or so ago. Sounds about right for me Iggs!
Been thinking, been thinking ............................

Nah. He meant the Pumicestone Passage / Happy Valley area south of Kings.
How long are you back for RBP. Be good to catch up.

Looking forward to the possibility of seeing fong in Koala Bar

Report for Central Coast this morning said 2 - 3 feet. When I arrived at A.P. head high to double over with offshore roostertails . Anyway a few monster sets rolled through with me on them. Had about 2 hrs of 10 second NE then a major swell change and the pump went with it.

Nice one Lamby. The bank at the bar has been pretty long and straight last couple of times I've checked it. Hasn't looked like this in a while:
.
I surfed Sunshine and it was sick.

I've been meaning to say something about his reports.
I don't know who does the reports, but 2-3 feet seems to cover any conditions from 2 feet slop to 8 foot boomers.
Keep track of his reports, I swear it's true.
2-3 feet today? What beach FFS

I thought you could only surf cloudbreak on Sundays unless you fork out serious $$ and stay at Tavarua?

Marquee beachbreak between Coffs and Coolie.
Despite the fact this break is the main coast road and thus completly explicitly on show in daylight hours I'm always shocked to rock up when it's over 4ft and find it empty.
Heavy 4-6 ft lefts bowling and throwing hard sand shifting barrels into the mouth of a rip .....bit of work getting out and keeping position but barrels you'd pay good money for on a surftrip on offer.
I saw Worm and Party-Pie in the carpark and convinced Worm and his Kiwi mate to come out......oh, this is where Roger got attacked by a bull shark.....the water was greeny-brown with a big patch of nodding mullet in the inshore gutter.
I got sucked out the rip over the shallow bar without a duckdive.....Worm and his mate got a right fcuking pillocking.....the take-off was like a reverse Big Groyne; the only way to catch a wave was to keep paddling back diagonally into the mouth of the rip and try and get in under the dredging lip.......I did this for a half hour without success then snagged a big set that capped just enough for me to get in a little earlier......by the time I got to the bottom I was standing in a big filthy shack...the kind you'd get in a paddle battle with a coked up Brazzo half-way round the world for.
Next wave tried to snap late under the lip, got caught and hurled up and went over the falls backwards, ended up on the sandbank with the board smashing me in the head. Came in.
Twas great fun.
In the carpark an elderly German couple were sitting in deckchairs making a cuppa behind one of those campers....old Fritz said"is the vater cold"
I thought he said "are you getting old?"
"Isn't everybody"
I want Nightclub Dwight dead in his grave I want the nice-nice up in blazes
