Not sure if that would be the best job to have for you’re long term successful/ notoriety/well being / freedom , though .
Dumb enough to think that she can fool everybody ? And dumb enough to think that Trump won’t throw her under the bus at the first opportunity.


Some real cookers in here considering it's a surfers forum, embarrassing really,
it must attract them, definitely not the everyday surfers i surf with.
If you rocked up at your local talking like some of the comments on here, you'd get a
punch in the head.
Maybe mainly vicos and adelaidians too far from the surf to care?


hahaha, righto neddy, shirt off on a school night?

Hey new-dog.
When’s the last time you punched someone in the head in the surf, or anywhere, for talking?
Just curious.


Has there ever been a White House press secretary that didn't bullshit, mislead, deny, spin or deflect?
Pretty sure it's in the job description.

I havn't but have witnessed one recently, tosser mouthing off well known for it , someone lost it put him in hospital, ended up in court.


Tough by association.
I get a feeling you’ll be mouthing off far too much here soon.

New dog. Hi.
Geography obviously wasn’t one of your best subjects if and when you attended school.
Last time I looked at a map of Australia, it appears to be surrounded by water.
Still smoking Winnie Blues are we ?
Don’t be a hypocrite, the mere fact you wrote something means you’re prepared to engage, why else would you be on here. Dumb and dumber , again.
Who is the cooker now ? AW


I’m not much of a fighter. But I’d say that it’s probably healthier for people to thrash this kind of stuff out online than in the surf.
There’s always room for more civility on here, not going to disagree there. It’s not compulsory to engage though, right? Or even to read it?

Yep its been that way for a long time not sure why.

Well it attracted you, how fucking dumb are you ? Brainiac.
My head is still shaking and pissing myself laughing.

AW. Let me guess, 60 plus live alone in a cabin or shed in the bush, rides a long board cause can't paddle.


haha, well 'ard @seeds. 'E wouldn't last two seconds at my gaff gobbin like that. Last time I was at markie dans a guy got chucked across a loaded table for calling a feller a poof, the thrower yelling 'ahm right sorry mate but my brothers a poof, like, and i fooking love im'.
funniest clip from the scottish show Still Game, the impetuous impudence of what we call 'neds' .. ne'er do wells; bored twits with no respect and puerile sense of humour.. people kinda feel sorry for the bored little cnuts, till they nick your telly. Kinda eshay-ish in how they flex and carry on. (don't know why the clip just occurred to me..)
(the irreverence is great, but the loser ends up being the one who gets asked:
'so why were you there then?' - don't like a forum.. why be there?)

Newdog. Hi.
Quite the contrary, but thanks for the critique.
Close. Live on my farm, 60, super fit , drop dead gorgeous good looking, chiselled like Adonis, ride boards from 6’ to 6’6” , longboards no, I have not given up yet. Still frothing, surfing is the best. Avid reader and surf traveller ( I’m not off to Lances Right in July to pick daisies and ride a longboard) , builder, landscaper, teacher, botanist , bird observer, cosmologist and all round fucking know it all.
What’s your poison ?
Let me guess. you’re from the Tweed or Goldie, you have that twang.
If you don’t like forums, dont engage, mummies not holding your hand now.
That’s what a forum is, it’s not personal it’s opinion based, you have one, I have one, we all have one.
We can all be friends, after all , we are surfers.
Don’t come on here suggesting we’re cookers when you’re one of them.
Don’t take things personally, thick skins are required.
BTW. Hi Indo , I loved how you hid in the corner pretending to be all innocent and the like.
He is shit stirrer also, we all are. Have fun pal, life’s too short.
I’ve been honest, reciprocate, let’s know a bit about you.
There are rules, Stunet will soon let you know when you break one or more of them.
Nobody is forcing you to engage, it’s voluntary.
The more we talk and write the more we learn. All the best. AW


New day, new dog, new Jeffrey.

Sorry dude, I don’t threaten to punch people in the head, because I’ve had enough good waves in my time,
And it’s not such a desperation to prove a point anymore.


I see patterns Jeffrey.


southernraw wrote:I see patterns Jeffrey.
Really , your not much of an expert
I’m not a local
I surf where I want
And respect the locals, wherever I’ve been, if there were any.
Sometimes you have a perfect reef , with no one in sight . for a long time .
That’s why I don’t need to analyse and compete with inexperienced peoples theories.


Fuck me Jeffrey you've lost me there.
But erm, i'll take your word for it.
No new profiles this week!! Gotchya!
Exiting the vortex..

So yes I can admit to not being an expert pseudonym picker
But I can probably live with that.
I know I lost you there
That’s why I had to say your patterns don’t mean anything,


All good Jefrey.
You know i like ya. Don't have to always agree on things but got a respect for ya based on your rebellious streak and your convictions.
And also i think we're pretty much on the same page regarding alot of stuff.
No dramas, no worries.
Enjoy your evening good sir.
A question for those in the USA....any noticable shift in the MAGA crowd of late or are they still clinging to theTrump regime like limpets on a chunk of granite?


Fair enough southern
My latest theory is that if you do miss out on
A good wave(s) ,
the stoke would have only lasted for so long anyway, days ?
The memory lasts a lot longer, but if you’ve already got lots of good wave memories,
Then it doesn’t matter so much if you do miss out on that good wave(s)
Surfing psychology 202


Good call Jefferson!
My dilemma today was something along the lines of having so much good surf to myself, i didn't know what to do with it. Made the bloody most of it though and am currently frothing out of my mind! haha.
Have a good one.


Half your luck
Don’t the French say that , greater than the memory and greater than the deed ,
Is the anticipation, or something like that
But I think they might have been talking about sex ,
Although I’m probably totally wrong
Just don’t quote me on that,


haha great call.
Funny the enduring memory i have from today,...and i got some great rides, absolute freight trains.. but the one memory that sticks out is the sound of thunderclaps over my shoulder as i furiously paddled into another perfect lined up pearler.
Whatever the French said about sex...it was all there!
Anyway, we're hijacking this thread.....


Nice @SR, I reckon all coasts have had a little joy.
haha, the grumpy buggers say lotsa stuff @jef..
en prévision de is a camp coffee while listening to thunder bruit de fond.
la petite mort, when you take a late drop.
then you look back and gasp open-lipped,
while delicately fingering your croissant.


haha @base you're an A grade classic.
Sounds like you've been scoring too and if you're scoring on that coast...it's gonna be good. Happy for ya mate! Who knows...maybe we rode the same wave from that storm.
Today was my 3rd surf back from a month out of the water from injury......
Fuck it was pretty good hey. It's in my top 10 surfs at this particular break. Definitely in hall of fame territory and the fact it just kept blowing it's guts out N...NE...NW all day....with the swell fluctuating but basically flatlining on a good size all day...it was a day to really take in your relationship with the ocean. When all the gifts arrive at once.....hehe.
Much needed and the surf head is starting to return.....what we all are eh! Bloody tapped...but in the best way possible.


that's awesome @SR. Just had a chat with a bloke who go a dozen surfs last fortnight. Bastard. I had nothing like that. I had a few last week, but one was great just because I specifically hoped it would be.. A standard SW swell and the wind turned to be a light offshore at sunrise and low tide. First time I haven't felt grumpy or *making* myself go out this autumn. This paddle out I got that teary-eyed giggle, almost crying about life and stuff, and how great it was to be in that moment. gritting my teeth and paddling towards the sunrise, seeing some nice waves I knew I was about to play in. That'll do me.


Actually thinking on it, that feeling is like when you are about 22 and having a pissy chatty loud time surrounded by friends and strangers and drinking hard but holding it well. And you go to the urinal and you let go of the piss, you reel back on your heels and look towards the sky and just fucking laugh.


Wow that's great @basesix. Yeah i understand that feeling of missing that feeling sometimes. It's like exercise though. Just takes that one workout to get the ball rolling and all of a sudden, you're right in amongst it again, completely immersed in it all.
Sounds like you've found the willy wonker ticket @base. Cling to that one. Wonka worldIor whatever its called) is basically the equivalent of what we do in the ocean after all! The everlasting gobstopper!!
Haha yeah had a few nights like those...also! Unfortunately most of those memories are somewhere in the urinal. Not the surf ones though!
Slight tweak of the injury again today, so might try for a quick surf in the morning..cos it's still gonna be up and reasonable but slightly smaller (thanks Swellnet!), but also might swim out with the water camera and try to capture a few primo moments in the morning sun. Dolphins are welcome!!
Hope you score a few in the morning too legend.


Wise words from the GOAT.
I remember reading an old Kelly Slater quote once.
In regards to big surf he said something along the lines of..
"There's something to be said for putting yourself out there when it's 20foot. If a set comes and you get caught inside, just hold your breath for 20seconds"
He is the GOAT for a reason.


Not that today was 20foot!! Or anything even close! ha! Just a cool quote that i thought put perspective on approaching surfing...especially when it gets uncomfortably big.


out bruz, rage is doing a good job.. lullabies : )


Will check in! Yew!

Sounds like a rum and coke
Who hasn’t laughed at the sky while having a piss at 22 ?


If I drank a rum and coke and reeled back on my heels whilst pissin, these days, I might just fall right over.
But I can completely transport myself to a time well remembered, good work Basey.


Newdog.
Hi mate.
Why can’t surfers have a voice or be cookers as you say.
For too long we’ve been flocks of sheep, all doing the same thing, behaving in the same manner , wearing similar clothes, riding similar boards , an era of invention on all levels mostly because we have a ram ruling the roost and we fear to buck the trend in fear of ridicule.
For crying out load, we’ve been stereotyped by society for how we dressed, behaved , what we put in our bodies, our social and political stances and views on life since the late 50’s and early 60’s
It’s about time we break that shell and be outspoken, have a voice and educated opinions I say. If something is on ya mind , let it rip, self expression is a good thing.
My opinion. All the best. AW
What’s going on in the US ?


I've got a big confession to make........I still haven't understood/worked out what "woke" means


It seems that more and more people are getting picked up at the border,
with legitimate visas , and held for days/ weeks
Also now US citizens are being picked up on the street , and held by ICE , for no apparent reason.
Looks like authoritarianism is here in the US.


seaslug wrote:I've got a big confession to make........I still haven't understood/worked out what "woke" means
It’s simple.
Woke is systematic discrimination and racism towards Caucasian European descendants, particularly heterosexual Christian white males, and favouritism towards and special treatment of trans, lgbtq+, indigenous, coloured migrant, Muslim, etc, peoples.
If you’re doing this stuff you’re woke. It’s the lunatic liberal cult’s whole zeitgeist and agenda. They require you to pledge allegiance and submit to and engage in systematic racism and discrimination.
If you’re trying to treat all peoples equally and fairly, with equal rights and individual worth, as unique individuals all worthy of equal respect simply by virtue of being alive and kicking Homo sapiens on this small planet, without regard for their background characteristics like sex, gender, sexuality, race, religion, skin colour, national of birth, etc, then you’re not woke but instead and in fact racist, homophobic, Islamophobia, transphobic, fascist and far right.
