what is your theory for the cause of the slime/foam sludge that is all over the beach and in the water on the sunny coast

You cant even ride without straps as the slime gets all over the board and greases it up - if you wax mid session it is slimed again in about 60 secs

such a pain

is it the fresh water or the mud out of the rivers

anyone know???

freakin whale jizz. really makes the board slippery beyond belief. i find that stopping every 20m on a downwinder and grinding sand into the wax helps. can't wait till it goes.

Hey Bruce,
At the risk of sounding like a geek, its a combo of the extreme amounts of fresh water and the salt water, when churned together cause the foam. As for the brown stickyness of the foam its literally the dirt from all the run off and it sucks.
At least the beaches have the best flat water sections ive ever seen at low tide
