thanks swellnet

Thanks TB! Appreciate the nice words. 

I reckon taking a moment to give kudos to swellnet is a great idea. I'd start by complimenting how it looks, functions and feels. Where most sites don't feel dissimilar to a Homer-designed website, swellnet has maintained a sleek, classic and timeless dignity. Like what we thought the internet would be when we first realised the possibilities. Before it became normal to stuff fluff and likes and socials and ads and feeds and content-for-content's sake into the corners of everything. Thanks swellnet crew for many years of fun and forecasts!

Yep agree!
Thanks Swellnet. Keeping it real with great articles, excellent forecasts and interesting divergent conversations on forums.
Good to check-in throughout the day for surf conditions, what's been said and putting in my 2 cents in some of the forums..
Bring back Ding Alley and it would be perfect. :)

I was thinking the other day about Swellnet and Covid at the time the main Covid threads were hot and many whinging they should be shut down and there was a decent argument both ways

But now its done i think Swellnet need credit for finding that right balance of allowing everyone to have their say and view and not being over the top in censoring and shutting down views or discussion like many platform's or media did.

Because with the beauty of hindsight much of it wasn't black and white, and many things that were seen as being true didn't end up being so true and some things that people were saying that could have easily been censored as misinformation ended up holding truth.

Never quite sure how to respond to these comments without feeling conceited, and I know Ben feels the same - neither of us are good at receiving compliments.

That said, cheers to all of you.

And ID, yeah, it was a shit time for all of us, and we struggled to find the right path amongst the minefield of opinions and pressures. In hindsight, it feels like we largely got it right for the reasons you stated.

Yes, thanks gents. Early starts getting the dawn reports out, Craig having his foreys up by coffee break time, Steve doing the comps, entertaining and thought provoking content etc.

Appreciate it. Cheers.

Thanks Swellnet. Excellent content, informative forums(fora) and special mention for the MP daily surf report...long may he/she misdirect
