I've managed to schedule a work trip for next week to Melbourne and coincidently Bells just happens to be on.......

But what do ya know, looks like there'll be a shortage of waves and probably lay days , here's hoping it isn't the case.

Good run down here Vanders - but it looks poor as you point out - will certainly not be 1981 conditions. Hope you get a chance to see it though. Just be warned parking is a bloody nightmare down that way at the best of times and come Bells you really need some walking shoes on yr feet and a big bloody jacket - esp if you from Queensland

Worse case scenario it sounds like you will have some free time for a few more visits to Chin Chin and their delicious short beef rib ! Have one for me!

When it's half good you can actually practice different styles of cut backs, practice different lines on take-off and through the bottom turn... When it's really good, you can actually get barreled! ... Did someone say something about 'big open face turns'!? !!

That's balls vanders but at least your not flying to Tahiti and paying extortionist prices for all lay days, yes this happened to a mate, and he tried to make the most the trip with perving, and so it cost him whiplash and nearly his marriage...

Can't believe it's not only though as it's pumping down here, had a smoker today and tomorrow mornings looking amazing. Boys have been hitting shippies, there was even a live feed the other day...

How long is Toledo going to keep getting big scores for those full rotation airs?

Its a pretty amazing move but its almost like his go to already....I wonder if he will be getting the sames cores at the end of the year as he is now?
