the go is film them...take it too the marinetime authority and push for them be fined

( get the skis rego on film....and there in big shit)

it's a pretty hefty fine too btw

particularly for a old has been pro surfer like dingo

topic....surfed out front ( in my lowes boardshorts i paid $10 for) messy...1 ft ( iggy scale,,heavy 4ft qld standard measurement)

had a lot fun in fact yet have a bad surf on it . the channels or tripple concave works better in classy waves :?

i think

Headed south this morn in search of peepless peaks and found nirvana south of the tweed river. 2-3' glassy a-frames and clear blue skies, a coastal fringe devoid of development and second surf on a new board...lifes good
As I was packing the car an aeroplane soared high over head, just a contrail left behind
Life is vey good

nowhere. spend the entire day trying to fix my board (small ding) with no such luck though because it keeps blowing bubbles before it has time to cure, so it's not sealing for me. and in the process, i've stuffed up my knee. it now clicks and hurts like hell. so me, and my board are out of action. :facepalm:

oh and havn't checked in here for a while...

Tell me about that ding Macca, is it deep and you're just trying to fill it with resin? Have you mixed some qcel with the resin? Are you laying some clothes over the ding?

i've made a topic here:
http://forum.realsurf.com/forum/viewtop ... =7&t=18220
its not deep, just a small pushed in section, it shouldn't have needed anything like qcell. though in an attempt to stop the bubble happening, i drilled a hole through the set solarez to try again, and the drill went all the way to the foam and a little bit deeper, so i shoved a bit of a styrofoam cup in there

anyway, it's now the middle of the night, and i put some spit over the pinhole where the air is coming from, and yep, it's still blowing air out will try in the morning to see if it's stopped, otherwise gonna have to try speedneedles araldite and talcom powder trick.

anyway if i've stuffed my knee, guess I don't really need a surfboard...

You say you used solar resin?

I've found that solar really isn't any good for anything less then a few mm. This may be what's causing the problem. I never use solar when mixing with anything like QCel or foam etc. Another problem people have when not using solar is adding to much hardner, this makes the resin boil and bubble although this is does not seem to be your problem. Good luck mate, I'll check out the thread.

A few waves on my Island in PNG today. Was a bit wind blown (bloody work) by the time we got there, but we had some fun.

[Trev]

Trev, did you send that message from afar?

Yep.
From Ontario, Canada.
At my son's place at present. And for the rest of this week.
Next week in Boston then back here for a week.
Then Vancouver and Honolulu.

[smallhouse]

super glassy, fast 3' beachies today.
some good sets .
heaps of fun.

[mustkillmulloway]

yesterday i hit ledges hideaway..or close too it

not in png...the one on the nth end a certain mega bay

small but perfect

today i took one look at the crowds on the points and went home and surfed out front with a dozen locals

pretty sure only mal riders and blowins bother with noosa points these days on small days

it's such a shame...another perfect wave ruin by out control crowds...still i guess u get that everywhere now days and so long it boosts a mag/websites circulation

i blame mobiles more than surf reports....ffs...why ring a dozen mates come down when it's crowded as f.uck all ready

when did surfing become a team sport

[ledge71]

Good to hear you got some waves our way mate. I know what you're talking about with the crowds etc. I suppose we're all entitled to the surf but I can feel your pain.
I've certainly become spoilt while working over here. Sometimes I get reluctant to go out early before work in fear that I'll end up with my face spread across the reef and have nobody there to help. Bizarre I know. Can you picture perfect noose 40 years ago! Not a soul out and perfect wave after wave reeling down the point. That's what's it like over here...but not noose quality.
Anyway, looks like swell is on it's way to PNG, hope you guys are getting some down south.

[Donweather]

Fong, tomorrow is THE day for the beachies to shine mate. Provided you can find a bank that'll handle the 4-5ft inconsistent sets, although Mooloolaba wave buoy is showing a lot smaller than the Goldy buoys, so it might be closer to the 4ft at the open beaches up your way tomorrow. Either way, with winds already gone W/NW up there, get amongst it mate!!!

[dUg]

ROFL... captured my first and best wave of the entire session for posterity. Yes... obviously... no-one else could be bothered paddling out to the reef for the pumping waist high sets...

[tiger]

Pick a beachie, any beachie. They are all firing right now.

[Donweather]

Good stuff Saltman. How was the paddle out the back?

Still blowin W/NW to the north of you!!!
