Noticed this on the front page of the local paper, ://express-advocate-gosford.whereilive.com.au/news/story/doctor-bashed-in-ettalong-beach-surf-rage-attack/. Hard to believe that thus would still happen !

Sorry could not figure how to get the link to work

what the hell is wrong with people in the surf..... just sad poor guy

remember when surfing was what was described as a counter culture...?

remember when you'd nod the silent acknowledgement to the fellow who was out before/followed you out, you watched/he watched you get a wave that was mastered; something supremely esoteric that began a thousand miles away and came to finish in a final eventful few seconds only to be witnessed by those present, appreciated and remembered for a lifetime by a lucky one, whose life changed; metamorphasised into a reason for being, selfishly, spiritually unexplainable to those of needing explaination...

then you got a mortgage

for a property you don't need

then surfing became an ad

then you bought a board from thailand

then you videoed your kids

then you checked the swell on the net

then you talked about litres contained in your board like it made a difference to how you still surf like a kook

then you carried on how your house on the point that used to be a fisho shack with a history and a story, but you tore down to turn into some better homes and garden sterile example of some place normal people can't feel comfortable in, all of a sudden made you a local

then you got punched in the head

then you complained

and took a woefully indignant selfrighteous stand

fark off tool, 'your money sucks'

I'd punch you in the head too

by the way, I was referring to the doctor from the article, not the doctor who has posted here.

I check the charts all the time. I even make a mental note on the right tides, winds, swell etc. I do it for windsurfing and surfing. But in saying that I still go if conditions aren't perfect. It's all about getting out there. The other day I was watching the swell and wind and had it in my head that I was gonna make the 3 hour drive regardless. Ericson and Miller both bailed on me so I did the solo trip. Scored some fun waves. Surfed all day and drove 6 hours. Surfed on my own and also surfed with a bunch of short boarders. They didn't care I was on a SUP. No agro. Just pure stoke

Sounds a bit suspicious, I cant imagine why they would of attacked and punched him in the back of the head for no reason.
He might of done something stupid to begin with.

Which in NO way justifies the actions taken.
What happened to a quite chat about the indiscretions,often ending up in a new mate and a beer after the session.?
