Re: The winter of our content.
well I was at Bells this arvo and it was about 3-4', howling offshore, high tide Rincon-ish and about four hundred people out. Some of the worst surfing I've ever seen. Winki was bigger but still just a flat wall with foam roller sections, only about 300 out there. I watched but couldn't go out, like imagine surfing Snapper's crowd, but the water is 13 degrees and it's flat faced in a 25knot offshore.

Re: The winter of our content.
Was thinking about those.....possibly exaggerated.......numbers. If we take them as real and you say everyone is on a surfboard that costs between say $300 and $800........and a wetsuit that costs conservatively say $200. You've got an industry right there.

Re: The winter of our content.
was below sea level drainers at one of the local points this morning. Crowd to begin with : zero. Topped out at four people.
Man, I thought the Goldy must have been pumping this morning.
This is turning out to be a king June.

Re: The winter of our content.
Just saw Swellnet gave it a 4/10 rating. Thats delightful.
there were waves so thick you couldn't paddle into them. I got seriously worried about breaking my neck.

I was up at first light and just knew somewhere would be happening- I'm guessing you mean at my fave - lay down on the floor to test my ribs and no chance. At least another week.

Re: The winter of our content.
i didn't surf this morning, too much on and have a cold and as the day dragged on felt more and more like a premium bag of shit. i went to my little bank i've been surfing to have a bo-peep & get away from the laptop this arvy ... and man, oh man. it was twist & twirl your moustache-ends good. some peaks, some sucking dry, some walling up for 80 odd metres ... all of them thick and throaty.
weird all the forecast sites calling it 2-foot se swell head to magnets for more size etc ... when in reality it's angling in from the ENE in just thick peaks.
king june, alright... i'm in love.

Re: The winter of our content.
yeah, it was so much punchier and thick than the sites reported.

Tonga v Samoa in union is a sight to behold, the hakas they do make the NZ ones look like the hokey pokey
