"Any boss who fires their staff for not showing up today is a bum." So said Swellnet reporter, Pete Mitchell, this morning in a lovely ode to Australia's favoutite schooner sculler, Bob Hawke.

Ol' Pete is on the money, the surf in Sydney is firing and only gonna get better as the day progresses. So stop looking at the internet, get your work done and find an excuse to split early.
