Ted the dust has only just settled here from an incident last year at the cliffs sort boarder dropped in, supper went around him put both arms with paddle over his head got the SB in the head behind (supper was a big boy) IMO a real fluke . If he tried to do that another 20 times it wouldn't happen . It's all very well to say get some one with your paddle but the reality is it's very hard to get close . I don't think it's the thing to . Comparing NZ and AUS is like chalk and cheese there is much more aggression in the water in AUS . Summers coming so no doubt we'll see some more stupid stuff , people do some silly things in front of you when on a 666 particularly when your taking of , big board 100KG idiot with a paddle they don't think about that And yes some of 666ers are wave hogs , numbers in the water are a factor I look at before taking a 666 out


The Eddie was apparently yelling F off to "Danger" when he was paddling out presumably at the point on Saturday

yes it was.......he does look vulnerable when he is falling off his sup once a minute.....but he actually caught some nice waves at the point on sunday.
By the way.....where oh where are you up to on your overseas excursion? Was pretty wonderful surf at town beach Wednesday morning.....got there a teensy late expecting just ripples but solid 3 to 4 foot sets coming through. Just had time to don the wetty and gather up the dog and the evil pom and steve the short boarder turned up....was too wobbly up the coast steve said. Some of those big lefts from the surf club peeling off

I retreated when some others came out.

Going through Auckland and visiting Whangarei is like "overseas travel" to me. But at least I came back with a picture or two....
