RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Dr Daniel Bucher, a marine ecologist at the Souther Cross University in Lismore, shared research findings with the crowd. He said there had "never been a fatal shark attack on a patrolled beach, nets or no nets" but that beaches with nets were often closed after shark sightings and this fact led to...

A very interesting insight Which just goes to show you can't trust those hot looking chicks - particularly the ones with dicks. Man on man does seem a rather apt descriptor for Drouyn nee Windia's trans curious mindset of that time although you'd need an army of psychologists to argue about that.

I have an epoxy model bushman in my quiver. On the blurb it said that Mr. Pancho Sullivan thinks his provides a 'magic carpet' ride in smaller Hawaii conditions. Unfortunately I think I ride mine more like your hideous rug. I want a magic carpet too.

Apart from donger with his 5 fin there's never been a CI bit before......

it would love your point.

That's what she said. But it was a great rug story and well told. Looking forward to seeing it serilised on Netflix.

Mathematical genius.

braithy, there has been attacks at points on nc before. in 89, my mate mick was attacked at boulders . no injuries, but a big bite from his board. within a few weeks of that, a guy was attacked at halftide, a fickle sandpoint at evans. I reckon myers was bullshitting in that forum saying 10yrs ago ...

Mr. Morrison may be just trying to establish if indeed the injury appeared to be accidental or self inflicted by way of misadventure. Is it wrong to 'love' your favourite surfboard too much? Probably if fins are involved.

The level of ignorance and misinformation out there -especially from your average suburban GenY facebook commenter- is staggering. We're apparently a nation that clings to the coast and and for the most part, we are utterly clueless about it. Even most of the surfers who are in it daily have a very...

But not the original inference.

Oh shit! I take that back.

Thanks Mr. Beer. I'll take that as a compliment.

Probably scored it on 'business' trip. AFP estimates around 3tonne of crystal meth product coming out of China seaboard ports each week. How do they afford to keep their surfing sideshow on the road for so long? Surely mainstream sponsors like RB aren't handing out a few million just to get a 25 sec...

That's a great pic Trev. WSL should have a pier break contest on tour not just Huntington beach. Any background on the surfer and year taken (photo that is not as in 'taken' by shark)?

Solution is obvious. Knock down the beach hotel. Build a bloody big abattoir with offal drain pipe out into the Bay and kill the occasional humpback and leave it for the local shark population to easily feast upon. Viola! No more big sharks be cruising any points further north or south of the now. S...

All I can say is that Fanning was bloody lucky his encounter with 15 feet of teeth was with a pussy GWS who didn't like the taste of pro surfer (a very discerning animal at that) If it had been a big Tiger in JBay circa 2015 (I know - very unlikely based on National Geographic shark map) he would be...

Go shake hands with Bethany Hamilton.

Serious question. What would be the environmental impact on the North Coast if there was a cull? Well the impact in the former Norco, whaling and abattoir industrial area swamplands now properly gentrified by all the beautiful people you would have a massive protest led by the blow in luvvies (prim...

hows the 'Bra? Chock-a-block full of rednecked racist bogans with Aussie Swazie tattoos. Have you been there? If so, when? Because its probably got the lowest ratio of "redneck racist bogans" of any beach in Australia. Maroubra prides itself on its inclusiveness. Right on brother. We had the war ba...
