The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.

Bloody Byron Bay hippies taking over all our car parks.

Flipid is right. Don’t know her but know her partner.

Expect it was a quick park for the photo.

Some parking love from the land of the rising sun. The last one's a beauty- on the line I guess but basically blocking four parks.

Yew!

Ps- the first bloke was not disabled- just a selfish, lazy, arrogant wanker.

Carry round a little block of wax Zen :)
Old school fuckery.

They're just the ones I bothered to snap Andy.

In my area parking is an afterthought.

@Zen third shot - too busy checking the surf and not looking where he was going?
Looks fun.

Either that or a very strong offshore. That ain't parking, it's abandonment.

I'm actually not sure what happened but the car was there for about a week and then taken.

You know what I love about Japan- the car had a nice navi system and some belongings and nobody touched it.

Also, the surf was so good that day but freezing.

I waxed a windscreen the other day Zen, it was liberating.

While on the subject of beach carparks, I'm over all these food trucks and retro coffee vans that have appeared all along the mid coast since covid. They take up half the car spaces so a few hipsters, old fat lycra tragics on bikes and active wear clad chicks can hang around looking cool sipping their soy caramel macchiatos.
Should be a law against it.

'Ken oath @olddog. I've been whinging about this for ages. Same here.
Exactly what you said. Makes the uncrowded more crowded, takes up spaces and noisy generator all day ruining a once peaceful beach. F Off bloody yuppies. Keep your cafes in your cities. C*nts!!

Instant crowd makers too. It's admittedly quite nice to have a hot drink and something to eat after a surf, but I am prepared to forgo the luxuries to prevent anyone prematurely labelling the coastal towns I frequent as "up and coming". It's embarrassing how in Australia all you need to turn a quiet daggy little town into an "up and coming" hot spot is a couple of folk from a bigger city to open somewhere that sells coffee for a few hours a day.
