Had a good laugh at TC's misfortune during Aprils Watti swell, getting rag dolled against the rocks, losing bark and his wedding ring, as reported in ASL. And all cos he was "distracted"!! Yeah Tom, we all f*ck up sometimes!!! Even worse than any rock hop was getting dragged into the caves below the...

reckon all i'd need is the ability to stop time, but waves still come through, have everything you want, at any time you wanted it, then just start time again. Did I just say 'all'? hmm

oh and sounds like a paddle with Chamberess would be interesting, sans clothing!!!

My first thought on this was, what a load of crap quiky pulling out like this, can't they organise these things properly that an event is cancelled just a couple of months before, surely they knew they wanted out of one, and yeah funny it's not on of the 'gold star' events. Now I still think it's te...

Good to see the budding geologists out there, as a professional geologist I can vouch for tootr, the formation is actually the Bald Hill Claystone, part of the Narrabeen Group of rocks, deposited in the early Triassic age, about 240million years ago (give or take a few months). And yes the sediments...

Some very thoughtful opinions in here, thanks 2ndreef, you put it far more eloquently than I did!! and I would love to comment sensibly now, but time and 3hrs sleep are slightly getting in the way. There seems to be a concensus with the contempt of guys who tear up the small wves in their jetskis, a...

this weekend has got me thinking about the whole tow in thing, I mean a few years ago it seemed to be that if you had to tow in it meant that it was too big to paddle in and therefore little other option, now this weekend I saw tow ins at long reef, that certainly were not that, but hey what did i c...

When you really need to get speed to get past a section, wind your arm madly around in big cricles, rather like a windmill, boom, instant acceleration.

Good to share some wisdom now and again!!!

Great work merks, and with the quick edit too!! love the end with the guy in the white T!! classic. Went down to the bower this morning, set up to get some footage, got five minutes at first light before anyone was out, then the damn mist and dew caused the camcorder to spit it's dummy and give up d...

I used to wear orange arm bands, my mum used to inflate them for me, but i can swim now. Maybe the guys are worried if they come off their boards they may not be able to touch the bottom.....

Christ what have I started, the guy's not going to be welcome anywhere in sydney, and heaven forbid if you own a pink mini mal and never surfed the bower, time to get a new board or get stink eye in the line-up! Oh well one less roling up to the zoo. ric, geez you were lucky with the car, I remember...

So here's the situation, Bower mid afternoon sunday, nice sets rolling thru, paddle out there's maybe 15-20 guys, everyone having fun, almost plenty of waves for everyone, soon crowd swells to 40+ and it turns to an almighty $hitfight. People are being dropped in on, there's collisions, if you're sl...

I can vouch for Here on this one, was certainly jacking up near the pipe pretty steep, and producing some pretty thick lipped left barrels, stand-ups had it first thing but by mid morning the place was pretty much booger central. There were some crazy rips in the centre there and the paddle back out...

Very true bro, why would any professional surfer even worry like us mere mortals do about snapping fins, even boards, this is why they also have 'competition' glassing, one of my most loved boards was an awesome, super light dahlberg, geez it was great, but everytime it travelled my boardbag would f...

Fong, a recent skimish in the kitchen has caused my fidge door to become inoperable, now the dimesions are, 52"1/2 x 36", a nice gloss finish, with chrome handle would be great. Inside, just milk holder (don't bother with those egg thingys) PS. need to come with glue to stick magnets back on. Cheers...

I agree with bear on this, sitting right on the fence. Yes, i use wannasurf, mainly for when I travel places, and typically it's pretty good, if taken with a pince of salt, I mean how many of the spots have you seen where the wave quality is shown as 'world class' or 'in top ten', that's such a joke...

Ronnie, have you read the foreword entitleed 'I got to where I am today by lying', submitted by members of the G8 council, just to get you stoked on the dishonest path of enlightenment! The publishing's going well, with my weekly, collect them all, free binder with part one, magazine 'The Art of Pul...

what's the anti-dog feeling going on here? reckon I'm not too welcome round here?! yeah dogs on crowded city beaches ain't great, but this is your perfect beach. So mine would have my faithful friend sat at the waters edge watching for me, and then getting super excited when i came in and saw him, n...

If I know one thing about women (and I perhaps don't really, they're pretty complex items) is that once they've made their mind up one way there is no diverting them from this path. It's a bloody nuisance but it's just the way it is, like if they've planned to take you to Ikea on a saturday morning ...
