Provided that you don't need to travel south through those dastardly bends. But you can get free surf tips from Mark Warren. :-D-:

An uncrowded point break less than 50 kms from Sydney CBD? Surely not Sandon?

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Don't worry it gets worse. I just saw my forth man hair-up-in-a-bun for the day. And that's within only a short period of time. Noosa is crawling with man buns. Those "Southerners" probably are from Byron Bay running away from the sharks. But there's plenty of those bun-boys swarming around the nor...

And remember that little Tom won the only man-made wave event ever held on the tour back in the 1980s in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Add 30 years of enhancements and we have a goer.

Can you still legally buy air rifles on the net?
It might be time to go out and hunt down a few of those drones.

The local, a rock shelf breaks right when the swells NE. Damned crowded though with many people now on holidays and a little choppy but had one really good ride.

Re: Kelly's wave.

My thought is that in a contest arena it would be much harder to judge. The sameness of the wave would mean most competitors would be pulling the same manoeuvres so the judges would be looking at some pretty fine lines to award points. But it'd be a great wave to free surf. Even on my mal. Yes, agr...

Re: Pipe Masters

Yeah, real shame we missed out on a fairytale ending for Mick. However he showed great poise under pressure and will definitely be near the top of Peter Fitzsimons Team of The Year list. I presume that the Pipe draw is completely random? Say by means of lottery style ballot? Agree that even if it is...

If they're genuine Bra boys they should try out Cape Solander where natural selection might just kick in.

I hope you're not one of those people who "hide" your keys in your car in the Curly carpark. The Manly Daily seems to report a new theft every other day although on the bright side 2 scumbags were arrested this week.

Was not today but yesterday, I surfed 45th street Galveston Texas. Surf was sick. 3 ft offshore lefts with the occasional wedgey right. Getting good waves in Texas is rare so when it happens I'm out there. Crowd factor= 4 others with smiles. Miss surfing Aussie but days like this are worth staying ...
