Your age means you can fall in with either the young ones down to 18, or the old farts up to 55, I'm in the next group up, the ancient group, to join us, you need to suffer from piles, failing eye sight, a hernia, deafness, bad back, bad knees, erectile dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome, incontinence, please note, no single ailment is sufficient, you must have all of them.
I don't know about Cronulla, I'm sure there's a few groups down that you can fall into once you get chatty in the line up and you don't drop in or if you do, you apologize profusely.
Manly may be a problem, there are some groups there, but there's also a lot of backpackers and overseas students always in the water and in the way.
If you see hipsters surfing without a leash, avoid them, they will never let you in unless you can prove you eat a certain quantity of Kale each week.
Best to just watch out for the guys that are about your age and ability, something's bound to happen that will make you laugh or get you talking, a clean up set, dolphins splashing around, someone ripping, someone wiping out bad, etcetera.
Pity you don't have a car, it would probably be easier for you to find a good crew north from Harbord.
Thanks OBCT - Well, the vast majority of my personal and commercial friends are in their 50's and 60's - but alas, whilst I have been burdened with some of the aforementioned aliments, I do not meet your full criteria! Thanks for the additional information!
