just got back from there. Awesome place. Good waves, not big though. Suspect it has to get a decent size before Picanninies starts breaking. Always a wave at Ral though. Didn't see many mozzies, but Malaria's pretty rife so cover up !!

Hey KK, Serious big wall climbing is the go. Those pics of Kanangra falls are fine but u cant climb up that crumbly shit. The place to go in NSW is the Wolgan vallley. 300m high scary big cliffs. You can actually climb at Mt banks on the same route you abseiled down. It just takes a hell of a lot lo...

Go travelling ! PHD doesnt necessarily translate to better career progression anyway. Good academics dont always make for people good at the actual job (How many Managing directors have doctor in front of their name). PHD's are good if you want to pursue an academic career, otherwise your wasting va...

Go the Caroline Islands/micronesia. Im off to PNG in Nov.

Tracks has always been purile. It hasnt changed that much, maybe some of you have grown up a bit. Whats wrong with a top 100 poll anyway ? is tha somehow going to make these places even more crowded.

Is there anyone that actually seriously calls themselves a 'soul' surfer ? or is that a tag that others give them.

im heading there in November so I'll let you know when i get back

a mate of mine stepped off a windsurfer onto a ray at pittwater. It put its barb right through his foot. He was on crutches for 6 weeks. Said it was the most painful thing he had ever experienced.

the surf travel companies refer to the place generically as the Caroline islands. I guess they dont want you to start turning up there yourself and not staying at the surf camp. That break is called P-Pass. Its been in heaps of magazines lately

Thanks guys. Slightly less wave size may be offset by less crowds. Prankster i just might take you up on that idea !! Its either entawais or PNG.

anybody ?? maye lack of response is my answer ???

i surfed in the phillipines, nw coast, decmeber a few years back, got solid 6 foot swells. Presuming Vietmnam gets the same. Drive down the coast and look. Anyone gunna answer me about mentawais in November ?

looking to go OS for a surf trip in early november. Ive always wanted to surf Mentawais but have been scared off by crowds. I noticed there a still a few trips running that time of year. Has anyone surfed November in the Mentawais ?? hopefully good waves without the usual crowds ?

when you can only go surfing by escaping from the family for short spells, its hard to line up a surf with your mates. I do most of my surfing alone. I find that your constantly challenging yourself when you surf, so I dont necessarily miss my mates being around all the time. Would be better when it...

I got a chaos board about 9 months ago. Probably the best board i've had in 25 years of surfing. And cheap as well

with those dead trees on the reef, its got to be in the Mentawai, Sumatra region. I went right at temples a couple of times, but it was 2 foot and high tide. Didn't get very far !!

do you mean waves generated by a hurricane ??

Larry Blair puts together surf guides. Little pocket size books, but i cant remember their name. Covers Aust/Indo/Hawaii. So presumably still surfs, but in more exotic locations.
