Roadkill wanted the unvaccinated to be denied medical treatment in hospitals if they were involved in an accident. He would be wearing a clown suit for a wetty if there’s any justice in the world.

Of course you care. You’re so embarrassed by the way you carried on to the point that you now lie and deny it happened.

It happened bloke. You were one of the crew on here who dismissed rational thought and allowed your easily-induced hysteria to override your basic humanity. It seems ridiculous to you now, after your mania has subsided , just as it seemed ridiculous to everyone else at the time. Everyone always ponders how otherwise outwardly normal people can transform into the type of monsters who burn witches or gas Jews or would argue that an injured person be refused medical treatment because they didn’t get an injection they didn’t need. You showed everyone, in real time, how rapidly and easily the sociopathic monsters emerge in the midst of human society. You went full dumb cnt and you should be branded so no one around you ever forgets how readily you abrogated your responsibility to act as a decent person.

Expecting you to surf in a clown themed west suit is getting off far more lightly than your kind deserve.

This thread was quite fun until you bring your typical aggressive asshole attitude. We were having a laugh. Oh well.

One of the truly despicable parts of the last two years is that sociopaths such as yourself are allowed to slither back into normalcy as though you never revealed your easy willingness to throw your neighbours under the bus.

No amount of surf talk erases the stain you carry bloke.

So if you have any “Old Bloke” knee board guys that you know with their red hats and rashes that are in Nembrala on a surf trip in August, and they are telling you what a great time they had, know that they are Full of Shute,
Tell them from me and most other people here that their conduct is appalling and they represent all that is bad in surfing.
If they think their cool, they are just a couple of old bullies, that have had to resort to knee boards, flippers and webbed gloves so they can get a wave.

Still at T-land ? Doodle sweet doodle.We had a guy here that used to wear a red Helmet and carry on a bit in the water which earned him the nickname dog dick. Dog dick sweet dog dick has a certain ring to it don't you think.

I'm not sure how others are finding things around the traps, but the last month or so of surf has been incredibly quiet up and down the coast. From Qld to the south coast, the amount of empty pumping waves I've surfed and watched has been crazy.

Post COVID-surfer exodus from the lineup, but even beyond that, is everyone overseas in Europe or Indo? It's never been a better time on the East Coast to hit the road in search of solitude.

Sounds like an open invite for everyone on the East Coast to head to Manly. Apparently it’s uncrowded and going off. Tell them Craig sent ya! Who’s Insta feed wouldn’t blossom wth some selfie’s on the Corso?

Isn’t there a skateboard riding dog as well? What more reason do you need to load up the transit van and hit the road?

Word on the street is that Manly council is requiring all shire residents to change their home Wifi passwords to 1234 so Vanlyfers don’t have to waste hours guessing it when they camp out front of your house for a week. Rumour has it that Manly residents will soon receive free green dogshit bags with which to pick up Vanlyfe shit from their gardens.

Hit the road today!

Agreed Craig. I was surfing up the coast all day Fri - Sun thanks to the trough block and was surprised to see such few bodies in the water, especially given the forecast held from about 10 days out. Maybe endless E swells and light winds has become passe?

Biggest crowd I've surfed with on the road for the last month or so now has been 30ish at Scott's Head when I was passing by. Otherwise it's been dead quiet. Surfing beachies by myself or with 4 or 5 others on weekends rather than hit the drawcards, and not surfing the before-work shifts have just meant I've had basically any way I've wanted. Granted it hasn't been super pumping, but I've been shocked how quiet it is.

We had a Brazilian in the Maldives once who had the same attitude which earned him the nickname Dick Cheese. Don't know if you could use it in the same sentence as sweet but it could ring just as true Snuffy.

Same back in a 3/2 feels like the first day of summer today, cracker of a day, dry, sunny offshore and kinda hot, so glad to see the end of cold and wet at least for a bit.

Scored a kirraesque type of bank at dawn but a loooong way out. Took a 7'8" out just for the amount of ground to cover plus it was pretty solid. Scored a couple of screamers. Can't complain with that to start the weekend! Didn't get eaten either!

Always nice when you don’t get eaten, had a surf yesterday by myself near a spot where there was a fatality from a shark attack, hard to totally relax and it played on my mind a lot. 5 years ago I wouldn’t have even thought about it .

I wonder if you took a 12fter, they'd think twice as it's pretty big? What's the % of attacks on short vs long boards?

Rest day after 4 in a row in small, joy shaped little waves. Enjoying testing new fins, they are working mint.

Yes Supafreak. That is pretty confronting. To be honest it seems so sketchy up there, even though the southern ocean is full of them.
Good to get that first surf out the way.
Velocity John, i tend to agree, it just feels safer on a bigger board, and you're sitting up higher out of the water, casting a bigger shadow.
Although i remember that fella at Elliston who got catapulted into the air by a big white and if i remember he was riding a 9plus gun, so that theory kinda goes out the window!
