VJ . Are you a Pedafile , sorry i mean Priest .
16 th of May 2009 was a Sunday ............
Why were you at work ? Sounds fishy , I'll check my surf diary when i get home .
PS , i've seen swells - waves peaking from that spot , when its offshore they feather ? spray plumes off for a while before they break at similar sizes . Looks like a real South Swell and light westerly winds . ( cross onshore ) ??

This swell was on a Saturday. Have not seen Torquay as big since. SWELLNET did a feature on it….someone should put up the link!

Vic LOCAL would have been out there for sure and it was a 5 to 7ft swell in his world - Vic LOCAL is a charger.

i would have charged that dribble switch foot on my goat boat blindfolded after skulling a keg of voi boi. Would have filmed it with a selfie stick hanging out of my tea towel holder and uploaded that shit to instaface and snapbook before my overly powerful bottom turn snapped my goat boat making me body surf all the way to pt danger where there would have been hot chicks waiting on the shore with my space ship back to mars idling.

Craig, I admire your commitment to the 'mugs game' of using actual, verifiable units of measurement to describe surf height. Unfortunately, as per the other forum, these verifiable units of measurement can be misinterpreted by surfers.

Luckily, as per usual, Gary has a solution (which I've proposed before, mind you).

The unit is 'The Gary'.

It's beauty, aside from the positive memories that the word 'Gary' is associated with, is that no one has to agree on exactly how big it is - only that it's daaaaaaamn big. The Gary's beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as such.

Vic Local can impress his mates by telling his mates that he rode 'one and a half Garys' this weekend, while perhaps Bob is a TWO GARY man. Clearly pigdog enjoyed getting chased down the line at Winki by a few Garys back in 2009, a solid effort that.

facey's Zen , Faceys .....

A bit choppy here maybe a G-G-Gary

Thanks Craig for posting the pic. Does anyone want to hazard a guess on the size?
Southey, the world of investment analysis and capital flows etc never stops, it is common to be working weekends (and surfing every morning in between the NY close and AU open). You could do it 24/7 but you'd go insane.
So yeah that wave, could be described as an 8 sigma move from whatever bell curve of wave size for that particular swell (or the year's tally tbh) - if we were to use financial jargon. Or we could just call it a wave of biblical proportions.
Craig, what I'd like to know is how did it form? If you look closely the entire line of the thing is just so distinctly different from the other lines of the swell - look closely - it's almost another direction entirely from the wave breaking on centreside and the three swells further on the winki side just before it. What on earth forms such a thing?

Pigdog great wave mate. I couldn't do that.

The plot thickens . i was in WA for this swell . WA got the same swell in earlier in May .
( there's a photo floating round cyber space of Paul Morgan dropping down a mineshaft at Margie's ) . Anyway , if pig dog is the same dog I'm thinking of , then that is small for him . Although I thought this other dog was a goofy ? That Guy rode the biggest wave I've seen ridden in person . Would of been 5-6 Garry's . Was towed aswell so not sure it counts though .
VJ , I shared a story on here a longtime ago . Surfing a far offshore medium wave reef with one mate , at 6-8 . Anyway a set with ATLEAST 10-15 waves comes through building in size each wave to near triple the size we were out in . Washed us 3/4 of the way to shore ( a long way ) . Next day read in the paper that a huge ( km's - ice berg had broken off Antarctica ) , not sure you'd call it a tsunami ..?! soliton of whatever . Was in the mid to late nineties ?!?

okay sorry . it was second hand from a friend that it was 09 . i wasn't in the SW at the time . ;-) But yeah SOLID swell where i was too . Just presumed .

What else do you presume?

I spoke about how i had spent some time on multiple month long trips to and through the far west coast . i admitted that on my first trip as a youngin ( id' only been surfing for 3-4 years ) that i didn't take on Blacks . But had studied for a return . On return trips and after discovering other regions i still hadn't surfed it even though i was competant enough . There are varying factors of each time why not , but i won't turn this into a biblesque uppy post . i then got court up in a four way bitch fight over how blacks although heavy was not the holy grail , and infact didn't hold much size ..... this started uppy on a hell bent attempt to tell everyone and anyone how his spot which he ruled with iron quads and bolt strait legs whenever it was under 4ft . i did the right thing and not endulge others to greener pastures in solid surf . SO now i'm blessed with the chicken soufle title , of which i hear on the grape vine is one bestowed onto people who stick to the truth no matter how it hurt their cause ......
Lest just say that Uppy will never be invited to these award ceremonies as his sheer self belief in all conquering strength over flexibilty will not let him bend his mind to such strengths as humility .
see i'm bored already regaling you.

So.........you've never surfed Blacks?

Liar, liar pants on fire?

HaHa, and there I was musing we may have had the return of Big Wayne, or possibly his bastard son:-))

OOOkkkkkkaaaayyyyyy then .....

One does not meerly paddle out and not sucessfully catch a wave of consequence and then claim that they had surfed one location . This was corrected .

If we were to count successful missions when one was to live in a spot for 20 years and only catch a handful more successful waves of consequence than someone that was a blowin . Would that be fair .

Garry Michael Wayne Turkson ,
You are a false God , i hold the real Gary in great regards . A champion of Guru like status .
But alas , King for a Day . Fool for a life time .

SO really I'm just a bored ex housewife living in a rented unit in Parramatta .
Be careful though lets not get too personal or "a Bit mischief time " could be had .

I don't know how to say this , and vomit does well in my throat , the same throat that he would like to vehemently squeeze , from time to time . But i do miss Uplifts ramblings . This new guy is an imposter , i quickly fell for his spray on tanned charm . But unfortunately the vitriol has returned . We all know the real Gary is a strictly tanning bed sort of guy , and no special cream or lotion could touch his chiselled skin and stay put .
Stu , the door please .

Well, I'm not particularly surprised that after a little bit of Gary magic we have a party on our hands. I'm at least glad that we've all found something we can agree on with 'The Gary' as the unit of measurement. I much prefer good vibes, I'm a lover not a fighter after all.

Not sure about the cut of this new Garry's Jib, nor the tenor of his prose; although I must say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

My god!!! What sort of person would get kicked off a forum and then come back as another persona, outrageous!!
I was starting to get a whiff of it and was about to sat if you keep on stroking your Gary it would over inflate and explode and now it's happened and there is shit everywhere.:-))

My mistake didn't pick up on that:))))

This is getting weird.

So we have the real Gary and the dildo Gary?

You don't spell Original with two 'r's, Nor are there two in 'Gary G'

The new Garry is a couple of one legged squats short of a balanced workout, if you ask me. It is however Amasing to have an imitator.

Uplift how dare you take " the lords " name in vein .
And then misspell it . tardy .....
Gary on behalf of the swill nutters , I'd like to apologise for this cretin trying to pose as you good self . All this talk of Garry's become the plural of the standard Gary measurement . I hope I have clarified correctly to pd and others that this measurement is the new metric that will make it look like hold imperial system .
Can you please cut it into decimals so all great board shapers alike can start using this fine measurement into their pro models .
I can see Slater now , talking up the pretence of less Gary is more etc . ...
Lots of love your , Son Southey .

I've been over there around half a dozen times . It's just that I don't always go past Elliston. Especially when coming from Adelaide side , as you know it's all similar travel times from Pt Augusta , be it Lincoln to Penong stretch . I've only ever travelled the whole coast twice in a single trip .
I didn't lie , I didn't start surfing till late teens , so on my first trip over there . I on purpose didn't go to Elliston , ( I don't trust myself , as usually I take on more than I can chew , for the same reason I didn't bother going to Indo until I knew I was ready to tackle everything it had to offer ) .

Wayne Lynch late 90's , semi secret beach ( was then ) .....only Two of us out . Wasn't heavy thankfully , and I just figured I deserved it for daring to surf " his spot " ...... When I say two of us , I mean only two of us in the water I mean there would have been no other human within k's of where we were . He didn't talk the entire time we were out there 2-3 hrs sitting on the same peak . Kind of suited me ....
Paul Donda ( sparticus ) - NW reef . Heavy barrel , I pretty much tried to dive on the back of his board in the pit .... A few quiet words , I went in ...... ( was a pretty skinny kid at the time ) .

One r in original, one r in liar.

Ask them both .

I just presumed that as you were taking waves inside Donda on heavy NW reefs, and getting barrelled behind him, and doing the same to Wayne Lynch at his secret spots, as a skinny kid that only started surfing in his late teens, that years later you would not be intimidated at blacks, as a young kid. And at a place which you dismiss as not much of a wave at all. The whole thing doesn't make sense at all. Its very weird.

Liar, liar pants on fire.

NW was 2004 .
Vic , the less I say the better .
SA , ten years is a long time . 20 even longer .
Now I'm sure you've got some incontinent older ladies to train at $75 /hr .

So, you started surfing in your late teens, and then later you were at blacks in 2000, when you were a young kid too intimidated to surf there, but did actually surf there. Then 4 years further on you were taking waves off Paul Donda, still as a skinny young kid. Vic, that is Wayne Lynch's secret spots, the less you say the better, after you made a point of highlighting it as one does. Even weirder. Presumably one can get weirder still.

Liar, liar pants on fire.

Up your nose with a rubber hose?

Gary, one r, that's enough, what will morris think. Or shaun. The timeline is stressful enough, even for one with a memory like an elephant. No matter how you look at it. Started in teens, then got younger, then younger again, now aged? 20 years? Started in teens, got younger, Donda? Do something 2 dogs.

yep in a galaxy far far away........................................................the return of swellnet wars......music cuts in.....

So one shouldn't presume that if you said twice, that the first time you went to blacks was in 2000, and highlighted and became agitated, and made clear that you said so, whilst having a memory like an elephant, that it wasn't. You just became agitated and highlighted that you said it was, when it wasn't. Back when you said you surfed blacks, when you didn't. And one shouldn't presume that if you keep pointing out that you started surfing as a late teenager, then later you were taking waves off Wayne Lynch at his secret spots in Vic, in the late ninetees, then first went to blacks in 2000, although you presumably went before that, that you were then an even younger intimidated kid when you went, as you said on numerous occasions? A young intimidated kid that started surfing in his late teens, that already found Wayne Lynch's secret spots and was inside him taking waves. And presumably, years later, in 2004, when you were then taking waves from Paul Donda and getting barrelled behind him, that you say you became an even younger and skinny little kid?

That's sounds very weird. As one presumes, it keeps getting weirder.

Liar, liar pants on fire.

Would be great to Vic LOCAL's read on the weekends swell - LOCAL call will be most accurate for sure. Does Vic LOCAL surf Cloudbreak as well with Free?

Nice day

Whoa, who crawled out from under the wrong side of the rock this morning?

It appears the value of the Gary is spiraling, with the fake Garry flooding the market. Only time will tell if the real Gary's fake tan is quality enough to not get washed off in this shit fight.

Gary G wrote:Quote:

There's only one Gary G, glittering away, as Gary has made clear. And although Gary is a master at carrying out his secret, hidden activities, his activities tend to pop up in the end, with all his focus on rigs, and kiddies.

http://www.swellnet.com/forums/wax/308180

Yes Gary G is famous, as a master at skulking around in secret, although seemingly glittering, staying hidden as he goes about his business. His surfing family gathers around him enthusiastically, not the brightest of sparks presumably.

But every time Gary G surfaces, glittering away, it soon becomes clear that all that glitters is definitely not gold and Gary G and his enthusiastic family are outed as just one big family of rolfs.

So Gary G is Gary Glitter. I can see that.

And Garry G is...this guy?

http://garrygilfoy.com/counsellor-for-men/

He does live in SA. And he's an author, counsellor, AND trainer.

Good to see they are holding some heats (women) at Winki today.

Pitty they didn't move things to Winki last week, we might have seen some surfing like this from Kelly. http://www.surfermag.com/videos/kelly-slater-winkipop-board-test/#IjfP8u...

Yes tt, it was bound to come out, in the right circumstances. Gary G is as he has stated proudly, the one, the only, Gary Glitter. And what a sight he made on the cliff at blacks, although he tries to disguise himself as a ginger version, if you can imagine it, these days. Like some of his fawning family here, Gary didn't do much good at all at blacks, hopeless really, despite all the snorting and carry on. It got worse though. The often heard saying, the plot thickens, as the locals soon discovered, and still do by all reports, became the plots thin when Gary G is in town. Gary G always protests his innocence though, and always has, his kind always do.

As for Who am I, goodness, dare I say it, fizzler 21 will drive himself into another episode, and morris and shaun have only just found the strength to speak again. However I will say this. If my elephant like memory serves me correctly, I trained a chap named Gilfoy in my late teens, when I began counselling. Years later, when I was an intimidated young kid aged twelve, I felt I should take up counselling, but wasn't ready for the likes of Gilfoy. However, earlier on at 22 years of age, he looked up to me, which I felt I deserved, as when I was an even skinnier little kid aged 9, I had trained his teacher in crisis situations. If you get my drift. Now, drift, my goodness, that would make a movie title for a movie so tremendous, so earth shattering, a movie the likes of which the world has never seen, or will for that matter. I saw the movie when I was a skinny five year old, even though, anyway, I have regaled you enough tt.

On a serious note, fizzler 21, why are you making yourself so upset all the time. And all, save yourself. Counselling will help. Find one who will take your horrible, horrible, horrible, terrible, monumental, earth shattering, devastating, shocking predicament into account. I know one I trained when I was a young skinny kid, who I had already also trained years earlier as a late teenager. Or so I presumed.

Reckon you can put a ( Victorian ) size on it , just by the sound of it . VL probably could .
Peak is the significant period . The zero crossing is the contaminating local wind swell . But as you know the early fire runners will be well out numbered by the shit to start with .

No Thursday forecast update?

Thank-you!

But seriously, hype for tomorrow is way too high.

looks like 3-4' , clean as , I wonder if they will go to winki all day?

So its on, 2 hours of wasting time.

Good call Gearoid. I'd say both Steph and Mr Wright we're lucky to get through. Winki judging is always stuffed, maybe they see it differently from the judges angle or something. Maybe the CEO of Vicco surfing can explain, he understands rip offs. Still you have to leave no doubt in the judges mind so the saying goes..

So the Gary Gazza GAry Glitter is is Mick Bourne aka uplift all along, like the bloody X files lately..

So, back to the forecast:

They'll get through a few heats today, maybe run the women this afternoon, then tomorrow will be big* and junky, Sunday onshore but reasonable size, then light winds Monday, about the same size as today.

Anyone with experience running comps care to hazard a guess as to when it will be over?

really struggling to find any interest in this comp.

surf seems shite every time i tune in and after seeing Coffin get a 9 for three cutbacks and a layback you can tell the judges are getting desperate as well.

tbh it hasn't held my interest enough to tune in that long.

Forget Carissa's great heat Craig. Free rides Cloudbreak, pretty sure he could handle anything in Vic and PNG that the females rip in.

From the WSL site:
SUNDAY 3rd: STRONGEST IN THE AM with solid 12-16' occasional 18’+ faces. Fading through the PM.
SWELL/SURF: Large SW swell peaks late Saturday night and holds into Sunday morning with double to triple overhead+ surf (occasional bigger waves early). Surf eases through the afternoon but still very solid. Easing SW windswell. Surf still a little jumbled, but more organized than Saturday.
WIND/WEATHER: Light+ westerly wind in the early to mid morning, veering south and becoming moderate into the afternoon. Partly cloudy.

Is Sunday the more likely day than tomorrow?

Sunday wind will be tricky I think, especially with the strong SW blowing all day Saturday. It may not be blowing from the WNW long enough to really clean it up.

Looking super fun out there at the moment though.

18 ft faces? Time to wax up the 7'8".
Just joking folks. Sunday morning looks the pick. Looks solid but wobbly as.
Given it's high tide, Winki would be better early. Makes for interesting decisions re jet skis if they did move it to the pop.
I say make the pros earn their $$$ battling the sweep old school.
Crazy decision not to start earlier yesterday. Everyone was getting great waves for at least 2 hours before the decision was made to start the women's event at winki. What were the contest organiser's looking at out the windows of their ivory towers?

Please!!!!!!! WSL...... Stop playing that fucking ad with that hipster "edge of the ocean take me away" song!!!!!!!!!! Just stop it!!!!!! decaff quinoa beach folk......

I think there are restrictions on the comp going to Winki on weekends, regardless of conditions. Probably due to the local coastal heath on the cliff top getting trashed a few years ago by spectators when they ran a full day at Winki, even when Bells was firing. It was same day Adam Robbo got 3 barrels and a big end turn on one wave and still lost to Jordy under suspect judging.

to add to other comments on surfing today Can't believe coffin was getting the scores he was for powerful but none the less repetitive cut backs . I'm a big fan of rail surfing but at least mick and jordy were mixing it up

Robbo got robbed that heat. He knew it, everyone there knew it.

Was surfing today with a couple of champs who rip the shit out of solid, I mean solid 10-12 ft P Pass ( Covershot Surfing World) and 2ft foot, goldie etc etc??? Haha.

I was talking about some bloke from Victoria called, VicLocool, and a forum previous to this! VicLocool was saying on the day ! ,during the comp at bells was 3-4 ft?????? When IMO it looked a lot bigger? As well VicLocool was paying Craig out, about being in Sydney, calling wave heights etc etc.....!

We all agreed that the waves down there break a lot softer. ( Cold Water etc)

Try paddling out at 8ft Burleigh thru the river mouth! Or haha of the cove?
Maybe meet FR on the rocks at 8-10ft, at the ox and give it a go champ?

So much different compared to down there.

Believe me. LoCool;)
Way different.

Fair call ID,
Was just giving the Vico boys same banter champ;)

Ahhhh ya gotta love a bit of banter..... Perhaps one day vic local might surf something big that doesn't peel down a gentle sloping reef, at 15 second intervals with lulls...... A chunky sketchy consistent 6 foot shifting beachie at 10 to 11 seconds will prime ya duckdiving....

15 seconds?...... I could get ready for a duckdive, roll a smoke, order a pizza from torquay, tell the missus I'm gonna be a bit late, and read the footy section of the herald sun before I even grab the rails......... Or just sit in the channel watching netflix.....

Got pretty round where I was today . Unfortunately , it was one of the first good days
( light offshores early ) at this location this year . So every " specialist " was there too . Always the same blokes .
I agree with ID , that the only thing that would make Qld hard is close gaps between waves , and consistency . But that is still going to be 11 Sec of energy flat out . Some days you'll have up to 16-17 secs here , and yes flat out ( wave after wave ) no lulls . When the forerunners are up near 23-24 sec's and the swell fills in at 18 with peak swell heights . Then the bulk of the swell can arrive in the 16 sec range . So a couple of beaches will rival Sunset for ease of surfing . And that's when they're are holding 6-8ft .
( Vic local , size ) ;-) then you have the borderline days for the nutters who like 300 m wash ins off one set , only to go round the washing machine to rinse and repeat .

Jeez there is some shit that gets posted in these comments.

Surely people can take their in-house jokes offline? It's been going on for days now. Bit of tension in the air I feel.

Whatever floats your boat. I guess.

Anyway, some of the judging has been suspect for sure. Mason's wave with the barrel was well above an 8.5 or whatever it was given.

John . Occasionally Forum banter seeps into the comments ..... It's not the worst or longest by a long way . But Stu is using it to study his thesis of online psychology , in social warfare . Everyone is here voluntarily , but I believe some might be on the payroll , or they think they are , hence their vigour . The lunatics run this asylum !

I hope you all peel your foreskins back and get into a few the next coupla dayz..yeew!!

It has been getting flogged for a while on this one but I,d have to go with vic local on the mad hueys comment, thank fuck they live on the gold coast ,what a bunch of tools, wannabe jackass with even less brains,ex pro surfers selling stuff? get an original idea, who buys that shit? Speaking of ex pro surfers still trying to sell shit to justify their existence i got a preview of the WA tourism promos for the coming margs comp, bit of vomit in the mouth stuff watching TC, Cairnsy and sadly even MR wanking on about how "raw and natural" (not to mention uncrowded???) Margaret River is ,while sipping wine and wandering around the bush in awestruck wonderment "margies moments" , Cairnsy even claimed he was a farmer! bullshit farmer more like. Fuck you guys! Drive east of bussell hwy and have a look at the suburbs or rock up at umbys and see 30 guys battling it out for a 10m ride . Mother sellers, get a real job cunts.

Are some folk on here really saying qld is heavier than Vic? Pfft cmon now please.
Although I think welly is taking the piss

Vic Local/ Welly how can anyone discuss heavy waves comparing east coast to vic without mentioning Cat Bay or Shellies Beach Phillip Island get caught inside on a big a set you will know about it.

Local surfers are just as heavy drove down with our mates from StKilda for a day mid winter last year howling sth westerly an old bloke pulls out a 10 footer tells us we shouldn't go out as it's a bit unruly today.

Way heavier than those piss ant points in Qld.

I think we can all agree, this Mexican is the winner.

Thanks to all, that was a piss funny read. Like going over a conversation between mates who are all stoned to the eyeballs. Hard to keep track of what was what, and I'm not in the loop for half the banter, but that don't matter.

Carry on.

And Gary G, the real one, impressed me greatly with his comment that he tries not to get involved in slanging matches as the uninitiated might not be able to work out who the kook is. That's where I've been most of this read, Gary G, props mate.

Haven't surfed vicco at all, so can't comment, but have surfed 15 - 18 second swell and it is powerful as, had some glorious smashings and terrifying hold-downs, and that is only at 4-6' (about my upper limits, I'm old and feeble, and my prime is behind me).

But beach breaks on east coast can be bitches to surf in anything over 4'.

Will have to try the vicco surf coast one day, when it's 6' or less, and will be very respectful to locals (everyone!) when I do.

Been on the Robe to Port Fairy stretch now for 7 months.... Yeah heap of big water..... But heaps of crap conditions..... Howled south east over summer for like EVA!!!! That limits surfable spots for months to a meagre handful , most of which are tapered.... So yeah a lot more consistent big water here.... But consistent quality? perhaps that's why there aren't too many pro's out of Vicco.... Perhaps that's why there's never been a vic' world champion...... OUCH!!!!!!! Bahahahahaha

Everywhere has it's good and bad points.....

Yeh, well, almost certainly, depending on whether or not you perceive that without observing it.

Word has it the dog only started to learn to do that in its late teens, then later when it was 12, it found a famous dog doing it in secret, and stitched it up in secret. But before that, when it was older, it was a fearless champion charger at skiing in its piss, and as a powerfull young champion athlete, but then, later when it was a younger even skinnier, skinny little pup it got really intimidated at a place where you could do it, so it went to heaps harder places and then did it easily. Then, much later, when it was much younger than its late teens, at 9 and an even skinnier little pup, it pissed all over another legend at really heavy places to piss up in the NW, but got really scared. That was the first time it had done it, but it did it first another time, twice. In the end it didn't even piss, some other old privy dogs told it about pissing so it didn't have to piss to even piss. Then it just couldn't piss anyway or it would just piss too hard. Then of course the terrible, terrible, horrible, devastating injury happened and the greatest pissing artist of all time couldn't piss so magnificently ever again, even though he would have easily been the greatest pissing artist ever. If that horrible, terrible, terrible, horrible, devastating, shocking injury didn't stop him. It all started in his late teens. Then when he was younger. Shit, that doesn't make sense. Well, he's told us twice anyway.

But in the end an even greater pisser pissed all over Joel Fitz, because, even though Joel Fitz is the real deal, genuine charger from hell, this other pisser uses zen, and just knows heaps anyway, and does heaps, so he and his mate stupor would stitch him up anywhere they like, and pissed all over him, calling him not very good at all, just a kook. Then they carefully pissed on him, carefully calling him a prick. Later they demonstrated the famous hand stand while pissing backwards stunt.

Its all here, but you daren't tell anyone because its naughty and no one will piss in your ear if you do.

That heavy backwards pissing guy found pissing at the place where the skinny young kid that got younger as he got older got really scared at and pissed at without pissing, really easy for him, because he learned how to piss without pissing too. Also, now there are two dogs who can piss together, again, they know how to do it in secret.

But the real yard tick, the leader of all the gang of pissers here is Triple G, the famous, and as he says the one and only Gary G, (now as a ginger) the true leader of the gang of pissers here. He is really clever at sneaking around and doing stuff in secret, because if he gets caught he'll shit himself while he's pissing. He got caught, so the gold of Gary stinks.

I could think of a heap of spots that are good in se winds in the western distrcts, but not wth sa plates on your car.

Just how the queen's family would piss it!

The real Vicco's adore the South Ozzies! Kym Thompson, and of course, look what this guy reckons. Might have been before the ageless pissing gang member flogged him maybe. There's a few versions floating around.

http://www.news.com.au/sport/breaking-news/victorian-surf-legend-wayne-l...

I've surfed with heaps of legendary big wave West Vic guys from around the border. They came over every year for ages. The things they used to say. Yazzie came too. Surfed with him too. Fun times.

Bit different versions to that stinking hot teenager that shit himself, then got younger and younger and a more legendary pisser by the day. The mighty ginger, Gary G, Triple G was no where to be seen either.

As kids we loved the South East/Vicco area. Went there all the time. But that was over 40 odd years ago. Fuck, the states would meet up for club rallies down there.

There was a Kev that rode a kneeboard on the SA side back then. Is that him?

Just read Surflines forecast for tomorrow.
"Occasional 16-18+ faces"!!!

Why not just round it up to 20? Gotta get the punters through the gate.

Was there a rise in swell at Bells on dusk ?

no. Still blowing strong onshore too. Bad decision by contest organisers not to run heats thursday morning. If Fanning, Cathels, Ibelli or Smith win it, they may need to surf 4 times in one day. Big advantage for the other 4 still in it.
The other option is to run finals on a weekday.

How many days left in the waiting period?

At the very least they should have finished round five the other day, ideally the whole round should surf in similar conditions.

BTW Vic Local, wasn't it you who was saying over a week ago that they should be holding off and waiting for the next swell because it will be better (which is this one) :P

Torquay surf report sun 3rd of April
1&half garrys with 2 Garry's at swell magnets on the sets
Light w wind.

Sheepo ,
I'm disappointed you moved to a Coast that is known to be shit in Summer .
Mostly from atmospheric anomalies , but a lot to do with geographical .

I also know that Victoria's longest wave broke epicly in the middle to late summer period , where as it is usually associated with winter . And we are talking close to 6ft Vic size , just not the usual period associated with it . So would of had you all horny .
Of all, places the MP has the least options ( believe it or not ) when it comes to winds . Back in the day if you had a car on gas you could almost surf any day of the year somewhere within 4hrs of Melbourne . If you had a pilots licence even more .
But your best weapon are your legs , a sense of adventure , non pulsed by heights , a keen weather eye , and a willingness to walk up to 4-5 hrs carry board/s on trails similar in diversity to SW Tas , and even Shippies in difficulty .
We won't go naming names here , but every wind is covered . Not every option is for everyone though.
PD please, the unit of measure is a Gary ( people got lost in the plurality ) , the other is just a Unit .
Garrfield ,
Can you confirm who the first person was, to surf real waves on your coast ( EP & Far West ) , [Fisheries whilst nice doesn't count ] , where they were from and When . ( Rumour I heard it wasn't a Crow eater , or at very least not someone from Adelaide . )
Of course , ( my source maybe wrong so I will rely on your thorough nature to answer correctly ) . Shouldn't take you long as apparently you know all the legends , like the back of your hand !?!?

Nice surf report, Pigdog. And sheepy, the beauty of The Gary is that it's all things to all people. The Gary has got what you need, no mater what your persuasion.

And yes, Southey you have a keen eye. The Gary has something for everyone, The two-r Garry Is a more...unique...proposition.

Chickens of a feather.

All the sources in the world are useless if you are a bullshitting chickenshit brokeback, chicken soufle. Get out from between their legs. You shit yourself at blacks, wouldn't go near it, didn't surf it, not such a big deal, but then you concocted the most ludicrous bullshit ever heard in surfing, rather than just admit it. Everywhere you went, the skinny intimidated kid line pops up, all the stupid contradictions. Even though you only started surfing in your late teens. The timeline is hilarious. And so intimidated, so easily, after you dribbled on what a hard core super athlete you were before you surfed. 'I'll charge too hard'. That horrible, horrible, terrible, petrifying, monumental, horrific, fucking ludicrous injury stopped my greatness'. Lying wanker. I've surfed blacks with guys a million times better than you, that rave about it and made it a priority to surf it. But, you are the man in WA, SA, and Western VIc. I would have loved to have met you, I would have had so much fucking fun. See, the difference is chicken soufle, I'm talking from personal experience, not about things I heard, like you, trying to be a groovy, connected charger that knows privy old guys. Privy old guys at blacks? That's so fucking funny. I did surf heaps with both Carls, so I know which one had the incident at Margarets. You just spout bullshit and drop names that you heard somewhere, so like your 'Morgs' story you fuck up all the time and try and bullshit out of it. Arse lick whoever you want, it does you no good, you shit your pants at blacks. Simple.

Get out from between Triple G"s toothpick legs, he must be stoked, this is a whole new world for him. Who the fuck would suck up to fucking skulking chickenshit Gary fucking G. Wankers of a feather. Another one who shit his pants at blacks and can't cope.

Answer the question fuck stick .
And It's Karl with a K . He was nicknamed Carlos .
Blacks isn't the whole coast .
I don't talk of what else I've done In detail like yourself . And the very little has atleast been water based sports , ( AFL is exempt , as the jumpers precede wetsuits )
BECAUSE IT HAS FUCK ALL TO DO WiTH SURFING .
Note your boyfriend Tom Brady shares your style on a board , and his GF has better style than both you . On and off the board .
So again who surfed the west coast of SA first . Maybe Jeff or Gator or SABF have the knowledge you lack ?

Wank, wank, wank. All your feeble, bullshitting contradictory, ludicrous dribble is on here. He was the KId. You shit your pants and bullshit. You mouthed off about blacks ages ago on here, then had to admit you haven't even surfed it. I wouldn't know who surfed all over here first. If I wanted to so bad, I'd just ask. But, I surfed blacks heaps, And with heaps of guys that shit all over you. That made it a yearly priority. That loved it, that didn't shit their pants and bullshit like you. I didn't shit myself like you do chicken soufl'e. Get out from between everyone's legs.

looks like another day of onshore, lumpy caca

How big is the surf at bells ? Vic l ? Craig ? Southy? Gary ?

Question for vic locals: would anyone be surfing Bells on a day like today?

I don't surf many weekends, but during the week you will rarely see blokes out at Bells when it is like this. You might see some semi pros or RCJ and TC or guys like that, or you might see a few young blokes who don't know what they're in for, but usually not many.

Winki is a bit more accessible on days like this but the sweep is pretty bad, ride a wave for 35m, paddle for 350.

For one, it is a lot of hard work. You spend ore time paddling around than anything else. Then, the pros make the waves look better than they actually are. Most of the time you are just holding on and hoping for the best as you bounce down the face. Not much fun, really.

(although the regulars on this forum will no doubt say they use days like this to push their kids into a few soft ones on the g boards...)

As Paul Keating once asked of Andrew Peacock: "Can a soufflé rise twice?"

Southey? Hako?

Not classic conditions by a long chalk. But cleaned up a little. Fun, demanding waves and, most importantly, plenty of them. Much, much more entertaining for me to watch than glassy predictable conditions where everybody just bobs around waiting for the 2 or 3 bigger waves in the half hour.

True Wally. Good to see what seperates the pro's from us everyday mugs. Pretty testing conditions but not uncontestable.

Peter Mal ' 6-8 sets'
That's double Garry if any one is confused.

looks a lot better now, with the sun on it.

Swell period is still climbing . Up to 17-18 secs . I think the energy size has peaked though . ( at least for bells ) .
The sun is their enemy , conditions will only deteriate from here .
I haven't seen much energy over 6 ft . Maybe 8 if you wa g to be generous . If only it had 6-8 hours of offshore overnight .
Hako , funnily enough that's exactly to one of the places I was alluding to . ie walk

Epic final shaping up.
Jordy and Wilko are so good to watch out there.
Mick's alright too, but pretty bored of him ;)

Love Wilko's surfing and would like to see him take the final. His surfing at solid J-Bay a couple of years ago really showcased the different lines he draws on bigger waves.

Can't help but feel with that stance though if he was Brazillian he'd get the shit bagged out of him.

The only time I've bothered to look at the bells live to see what the conditions are like and I get a commercial and 3 guys on a panel, didn't watch it for long but I reckon Barton Lynch has been getting coaching in media from Bruce McAvaney.

Onya Wilko.

Deserved winner.

Well done Wilko!
The true test for him will be in the barreling events.
Margarets will suit him again though.

Nice one Wilko,

Good to see you, Drinking a Tallie champ, not to sure about that piss weak girl beer tho;)

I haven't seen anything today but you've certainly been right to the nearest Gary for the previous days, Craig.

Happy to see Wilko win but i do think he has been over scored this year and it was rather boring viewing today.

Personally id much rather had see as much of the comp run the other day at winki although much smaller the cleaner condition would have produced much better surfing.

Don't fuck us all around Lost Doggie?

There is 6 pages of this shit to read.

Ive Read it all, but can not be bothered trying to find ya post, If you know what I mean;)

Swellnet sort this shit out please;-)

LAST POST???
Straight to it!

Simple
Cheers.
