I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

John John.
By far the best surfer in the world.
He’d have so many more titles if the waves were consistently good like today.

Well, Jack Robbo proved me wrong.
His turns still aren’t on JJs level but he stood up when it counted. He had the wave selection, heat strategy and landed his punches.

I didn't answer because I saw it elsewhere. Probably where you saw it. 😎

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Shame about the WSL championship tour returning to Snapper. I’m ok with the WSL as long as it’s a long way away.

Heaps less impact as a CT event rather than CS event.

I’m never been there for that. The CS might have more competitors, but doesn’t it have a shorter window, less built structures, less hoopla and less constant bellowing loudspeakers?

Same loudspeaker but everything else is right.

Way more impact down here from CS because of the massive number of competitors/entourages etc etc- they call come down in packs.

I just figure the CS is more like school holidays whereas the CT has a much more oppressive footprint.
